this is timely - I've been building up my metal working tool kit, and I see
a lotof auctions on ebay that say "my father was a machinist, don't know
what these are" - so, here are some things you can do

1. make sure someone in your circle of friends/family actually knows what
hte stuff is, and what is very expensive and what is not - in this case I
have one very technically minded daughter, but it could be anyone

2. make some written arrangements

3. if you are infirm it's best to dispose of while you are still in
control - though that is a distressing thought

that "death and taxes" inevitability thing arranged for? I'm 86 and
still paying taxes, but as to what will happen to my lifetime
accumulation of tools, unless I 'do' instead of 'say', probably an
unethical fellow turner or a junk man will decide for me. I mean to do
something about that tomorrow, but for now, think I'll go out in my shop
and enjoy turning some wood. Sad, but true for me and just maybe for
some of you. knowatimsayn?
