Woodworking Tools
What to do with a garage full of Sears Woodworking tools?
A friend of mine who lost her husband recently finds herself dealing with a garage full of woodworking tools all purchased from Sears over the course of many years. It would be great if she could get some money for them but if not, would like to donate but does not know who would want such items. SHe is not interested in having a garage sale with folks coming to her home. Any suggestions?
Best choices… Donate them to a senior center that would have a place to use them,or donate them to a local 4-H club, where the kids in the group would be able to use them, and learn on them, and gain the skills from using such tools. If planning to sell them, do research on each individual tool, and set fair prices.Although most of the older equipment was built heavy and solid, modern safety features and engineering make some of the older tools undesirable and unsafe for use, but they may still hold value as parts machines or collector pieces.I was also going to suggest craigslist, but its not a good choice for an elderly lady living alone, just to many wierdos out there now.Ebay would be a good choice for the smaller, shippable items if you have the time to help her out, and, some of the old books and jigs and fixtures can bring decent money.
