We are having as Garage Sale.
We are downsizing my moms stuff and I will take the opportunity(?) to get rid of some excess (Excess ?? my wife asks !!!).
I do have a lot of stuff I would never buy again so it's a good thing to do, to let go of a few things.

You have a " Few" boxes you probably won't miss.
I swear they multiply in the night.
Good luck on your sale
Of all the things I've lost , I miss my mind the most

Man I wish I was at that garage sale.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Are you hoping we'll all drive over and keep your excess within the ToolTalk community?  And where is "over," for those of us following from home?

You don't happen to have any planes (woodworking, not with wings) or spokeshaves in those boxes, do you?  Or adjustable bevels?

Got a few oilers also, I see.
just south of forty...  Pretty sure all the retirees thin out the tool herd before moving down here, but most bring their old oil can.

Bill, "over" is Pinellas County Florida , Bill. Home of the Wagon Wheel Flea Market, among others.


If you are down this way, give me a shout.

Kind of a distance from the San Francisco Bay Area; I'll send you good thoughts for success.

I'm always impressed when you can see that much garage floor. Is that flash, or is the lighting that good out there?

Might have had the flash on, I don't remember,  it has been kinda hectic trying to sort/group all the stuff.
And the garage floor got a coat of plain jane latex paint back in 2001, kinda a pale blue, cuz that's what I had the most of.


Funny, I am looking around and it looks like I am getting rid of 75% of what I have on hand.

and it's over with, thank goodness! Too hot to have a sale in Florida right now, but had no choice.

we were pretty busy so I didn't get good shots, but here are a couple of pics. 
The wooden boxes (not shown) sold very well.

If I lived in your neighborhood I could have lightened your load for you a little.
A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.
