I'm thinking of putting together two small kits for my two sons and making arrangements with my wife to dispose of them thru tool dealers etc. I keep rather comprehensive files on them, so she is well aware of their cost/value etc.<br />I thought about the milkman bench before, but I found that I can do a lot on my multi purpose saw bench right now.Valley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-53300408035774253882015-09-27T09:57:28.780-03:002015-09-27T09:57:28.780-03:00Thanks Gerhard

My biggest pet peeves with it is that it doesn't seems to let me edit my comments after they are publish and I missed big typos, and if I edit my published posts, they are republished under the new date/time stamp and are now out of sequence grrr.Valley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-12074712753502408272015-09-27T09:52:27.451-03:002015-09-27T09:52:27.451-03:00Yes Stefan, I am rather pensive these days, ill ex...Yes Stefan, I am rather pensive these days, ill explain later. you'll understand why.<br />Jake idea is a good one isn't it?

Based on the baby picture, I'm about your age, and have also been stressing about what to do with all my "stuff" between now and my demise. Neither my children or grandchildren have any interest in woodworking. My tools, and those of my grandfather, will likely end up in some rummage sale. sad.<br />JakeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-46990227591335375762015-09-24T12:00:34.436-03:002015-09-24T12:00:34.436-03:00Envision a briefcase full of hand tools, and the &...Envision a briefcase full of hand tools, and the "Milkman's Workbench", as described by Chris Schwarz.
