I have too many tools

[rhetorice]

Hey folks! Recently, my grandfather died. I didn't know him too well, but as the only grandchild who could even name half the stuff, I inherited a lot of his leatherworking tools. And I mean a lot. I'll also be making another post elsewhere about some tools I couldn't identify (I could name 95%, but I'm still a bit of a novice myself) but this post is dedicated to the items I didn't want. He was a bit of a hoarder, so he often purchased duplicates of items, and I'd love to pass them on to someone who'd like them more. If you're willing to pay shipping and perhaps a small bit extra, they're all up for grabs. Or trade, too. Despite the giant pile, there was no bone folder/slicker....

Here's what's up for grabs:

- 3 rotary cutters, A rotary punch, an 'inspirational word stamp set', a whole bunch (like maybe 50?) of practice blanks (circles), a set of (6? 7?) swivel knifes with different blade lengths plus extra blades (maybe another 8 extra?)+sharpener (I don't use swivel knives, I honestly don't like them), a plastic craftool stamp holder that holds about 40, a rivet setter set, a set of cardstock stencils, big, for letters, a wireless power bank with case kit from tandy, a wooden mallet, a plastic mallet from craftool, 2 tiny clamps, an untested pyrography pen, three beat up leather shears, 10 sheets of metal stencils (because I prefer to freeform all of my tooling designs).

There were a bunch of Al Stohlman books as well, I might read through them then pass them on.

I'm kind of new to these forums, so hopefully I put this in the right thread!  I honestly don't know if anyone will want any of this, but thought it was worth a shot. If you'd like more details,  or pictures of a specific item, just let me know!

Heck yea!!! follow the rules and post them up here a lot of folks are interested!! Plus your country would be good to , its a global forum.

Thank you, I'll add that! I'm located in the U.S. Someone asked what the Stohlman books are - Coloring Leather, Leatherwork Manual, Leather Craft Tools, Figure Carving, Pictoral carving, the Tracing Patterns that go with the above two, and Stohlman step-by-step

@rhetorice The Marketplace rules are here.  Please read and conform.  Need pricing in US$.  Looks like you are located in Idaho.  You might want to list items in batches so you don't have to handle and keep track of too many responses.  Photos help a lot.  Need to size photos to fit the restrictions here.  800 or 1024 pixels wide is quite adequate and allows you to post lots of pictures in a single post.  Shipping by US parcel post?

Condolences on your loss.  You are in the right place, there will be plenty of interest here.  Post photos and prices, location shipping etc. as mentioned in the marketplace rules, and you will find buyers.

Awesome, thanks for linking the rules. That's super helpful - I'll post some batches with more details in this thread based on the rules.  Yep, I'm in Southern Idaho!

I sent you a message about the swivel knives and books.

[rhetorice]

First batch! 

Rotary Cutters (locking) - one 60 mm blade, with an extra blade included included. Pretty much like new, 7.25" tall. Two 45 mm blades, one yellow (olfa), and one white, both 6.5" inches-ish tall.

Stamp Set- Inspirational word stamps - Friendship, Dream, Love, Believe, Peace, Laugh, Friend, Live, Happiness, Eternity, Hope, and Faith. 13 total. From tandy. 1/4" (stamps) tall. Includes handles. Basically like new, I'd be surprised if they'd been used more than two times.

Rotary punch - pretty much like new. Here's a link to pretty much the same product, for exact details on size : (https://www.amazon.com/Punches-NEU-MASTER-NH1001-Revolving/dp/B07H27S9R9/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?keywords=rotary%2Bpunch%2Bleather&qid=1692292286&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1)

Pricing: Whatever shipping is for your location, plus $1 USD extra per item. Just let me know if you want the cheapest shipping possible, or something faster.  I'm located in Southern Idaho, if that helps with calculating shipping. I'm cool to do international, as long as you're okay picking up shipping costs for that.

(I think I got all the details!)

Interested in the inspirational word set.

[rhetorice]

Second Batch!

Note: Inspirational Word Stamps + Stohlman books are pretty much spoken for, and maybe the swivel knife set as well. 

Practice Blanks: There's 70 in total, 10 in each bag. Counting the whole lot as one thing. Pretty sure they're all veg tan, like new.

Stamp holder:  It's got some marks on the edges,  I'd say its in good condition, but definitely not perfect. 8.5" by 3.25". Craftool.

Leather Alphabet book - From Tandy. Like new. Has multiple fonts within, and some directions on tooling letters.

Just let me know if you want the cheapest shipping possible, or something faster.  I'm located in Southern Idaho, if that helps with calculating shipping.
