We are reaching the upper ends of middle age..and getting to the Old

interest in machining, metalworking or even getting their hands dirty.
So we wont be seeing them. The rest of the kids...shrug..manual skill
sets are rare these days.


Big question is what do I do with my tools and equipment? Nobody in my
extended family knows which way the turn a screw. Nothing I paid a lot
for is worth crap anymore, the market is flooded and nobody knows the
difference between Snapon and Made in China crap.


Don't give it to an undeserving family member, close or extended.
Perhaps take extensive photos, list original costs/rebuilds/additions,
and tooling and list it on ebay for a fair price.

Or call Mike Rowe and sell/donate it to a cause he's supporting.
