Jack, I really feel for you guy. It must be real difficult to part with things that have been so much a part of your life for so many years. Hopefully they will go on to other enthusiasts who will continue your good work. I've already just about pushed myself out of my shop because of all the tools I've collected but I always seem to be able to find room for more. When you get a list together I'd be interested in taking a look. As you say, location would prevent the larger items most likely for me but you probably have smaller speciality tools that I could use. I only hope that before I have to give it all up I can find a nice younger fellow who would take good care of my stuff and use it to good ends, I might just give him the lot when the time comes.
