Obviously either no one looks at the Swap&shop or no one here is interested in antique tools.
Is there a web page that deals with this kind of stuff?

Frank, they sound interesting, but... I moved at August from my 20x20 shop had to sell my MM16, gave away my Delta Cabinet Saw, gave away my RAS, the planer, and dust collector. A bunch of lumber and hardware went to my neighbor.

I now have a workbench on one wall of a garage. Power tools are, jig saw, sander, drill press, skill saw, and several routers. All the rest are hand tools. I am working on shelf for my Granddaughter's bathroom. The first step is planning the boards flat and true! Still fun!

No storage for anything.

Frank,
I think pretty much everyone is interested in free tools. I also think that Silver City is probably a long way from almost all of us. :(

Offer free shipping and you will get a lot of takers. :D :lol:

The band saw might ship , but the jig saw must weigh at least 100 lb. That is out of the question. :(

Frank, does your local paper have a section for "free" stuff? The county paper doesn't charge for items under $49. See if you can find something like that. Be careful of "lookers" who want to see what else you have, but I'm sure you're aware of that.

Chance's area has a local Garage Sale, without having a garage sale, in the local paper. He just bought some more fishing poles from an individual.

Although I've bought from individuals on Craig's List in the past, forget it now--people are killing buyers, or stealing money, so I wouldn't suggest that.
