Dispose of old tools with the Woodworkers Club
July 7, 2005


Both of my parents have passed away, and I am getting ready to sell their house, which has been in the family for 80 years. My father and his father were tool-and-die makers, so I have to dispose of a lot of tools and some large machinery. Many of the hand tools are not a problem; they will be divided among the children. But there are some specialized tools that we don't have a clue about, and there are also some larger tools, like a lathe and a drill press. Could you tell me who might be interested in these old machines?

Try the Long Island Woodworkers Club. Several of its members collect old tools. I contacted the group's president, Mike Daum, on your behalf, and he said he'd be happy to help you dispose of the machines and some of the old tools. E-mail Mike at presi dent@liwoodworkers.org. Bringing photographs of tools and machines to a club meeting would give woodworkers a chance to identify the pieces. Visit the club's Web site, www .LIWoodworkers.org, for more information.
