I'm 63, retired and have a model shop, my wife has joked about the great
vacation she'll have from the sell of my tools after I'm gone. My shop has
given me a great deal of pleasure and while I'm still able I'll continue to
enjoy my hobby and share the fruites of my labors with family, friends, and
charities. I'm certainly not in any rush to die, but die I will. I would
hope that some of my shop treasures will be passed down to family, beyond
that I could care less. It really isn't about what happens to my stuff when
I'm gone it's about what I'm doing with it while I still live. I know the
gifts from my shop are appreciated, the tools and what skills I've gained
are
important to me but have little value to most people unless I use them.
Naturally I take good care of my tools and have enjoyed restoring a number
of old deralict tools to display and use, and I've even made replicas of old
hand tools just for the pleasure of having something I couldn't otherwise
afford. The tools are for my enjoyment and the sense of accomplishment
gained from using them to the best of my ability to make something that
sombody else can take pleasure in. So if you want some of my tools when I
die more power to you, I will already gotten everything I could hope to get
from them.

I do not go to many estate sales, but this one make me thinks. Once
you are gone, it is only a matter of days, the living will dispose
everything you really love while you are still alive. I love good
tools, especially if you are once an A&P mechanic. It is a crime to
dispose them so cheaply what you have collected during your lifetime.

What do you think?
