I am clearing what I laughing call my workshop in prep for downsizing in the next few years. The bothersome factor is that, old as the stuff is, much of it is still of good use in the right hands, but finding buyers is hard and occasionally tricky. Donations are not the solution, as that market is also very small.
But then, for a person who was brought up in tight financial circumstances and was taught to always try to repurpose tools or items, [the phrase then was waste not, want not. ] just throwing them away is a very hard thing. That is especially true when it seems the mantra of the current era is use it and toss it.
