I'm going nuts!!!! I've been trying to organize my wrenches.... each brand with it's own box on a new set of shelves I built. I have 47 boxes (47 different brands) labeled so far.... and I'm no where CLOSE to having a space for each brand yet!!!! My rough estimate is that I'll need another 20 or so boxes for most of the wrenches to have their own space. I have this grand idea of having each and every wrench categorized. Then, I could start trying to write a note in each box telling what model number, ect. are in each set. THEN I could try and take pictures and at least have them make it as far as my photo bucket account.
This is proving to be difficult. For instance, I just grabbed a blanket out of my car, and there was a whole box of wrenches in there!!! I've been trying to clean/ reorganize my shop........... that's at least a two month long project!!!!!!! I keep finding random wrenches down there. ... just found a box of wrenches under the guest bed......
Not only am I trying to organize the wrenches, but all the antique/ old tools I have... planes, planes, and more planes, hand drills, braces, rules, levels, ughhhh the list goes on and on..... I'm starting to realize persons may have a point about me being a littlel obsessed with tools!!!!!!!!!!! But, I'm not about to change!!!!!... don't think I could if I wanted to!!!!!
I'm also trying to take an inventory of tools downstairs (in my shop) so that I make sure I have all the user tools I need.... then the others get sent upstairs to the office. It's quite a production!!!!! I'll realize I'm missing one socket in a set, then come back to the office, look for a replacement socket, and on and on!!!! I keep telling myself that if I can locate every tool in this house/ shed/ car/ I can put everything in it's place, know what I have, and attempt to catologue it in some sort of system!!!!!
My biggest surprise today is that i have over 20 westline wrenches! I didn't realize that!
Hopefully, sometime in the semi-near future, I'll be able to put a bunch of sets on here to sell. It seems like I have anywhere from 5-80 wrenches in each brand I have... which is somewhere close to 80..... hmmm, that means I have around 1800 wrenches or so.... ok, I'm starting to feel a little crazy!!!! AND THAT"S JUST WRENCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know there's at least 30 planes around here...... boy, I guess I've gone a little overboard!!!! I can't help it, it's a disease!!!!!!!!!! Although, if I'm going to have a disease, this ain't so bad!
I hope everyone is doing well.
cheers,

Wow. I'd like to have that condition - neck deep in old tools with no end in sight! Ha
Wish I was closer to ya, I'd donate some time to come help dig you out.
Consistency is key. Be a turtle - slow and steady wins the race.
Once you get stuff sorted I'm sure you'll have no trouble at all selling them. We have a lot of hungry collectors hanging around these parts!
