I am an amateur blacksmith-tinsmith. Over the years I have acquired many tools needed to practice these arts ... and also ... have obtained many worked examples made by skilled craftspersons.
Unfortunately, when I wasn't looking, I became old and decrepit and am not able to enjoy my hobby any more. Therefore, I am now in the process of selling-off most of the gear I collected over the past 21 years. This "sell-off" includes many of the "rarest-and-juiciest" tools around. A lot of these tools, though a bit rusty from neglect, have never been used. An entire reference collection of forged iron leaves are also on the selling table.
So ... if inclined, email me to make a date to come on by and check out the goods in person. At this time all sales are on a "pick it up at my house in North Seattle (roughly where N 85th St. connects to I-5) basis."
Hopefully, for the good of all, you will find something here that will be useful to you. I hope so, anyway.
Lastly, a bit of an apology: Because of the large number of items I am putting up for sale, my effort to price things out in detail is running a little behind. So ... until I catch up, please feel free to make me fair and reasonable offers on items you are interested in.
Please note: There are many more tools ... and ... kinds of tools, listed in the somewhat fuzzily categorized sections below. The photos at the top here are just the "tip of the iceberg,"

These files list all the stuff I am selling, what has been sold ... and ... contain somewhat more detailed information about item size and weight ... and ... my asking price. All of this is updated on an on-going (more-or-less) basis
