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.

[rhetorice]

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! 

[Simplejack1985]

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. 

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.

Third Batch

Note: In addition to what I've previously noted, 60mm rotary cutter and coasters/blanks are now spoken for.

Rivet Setter Set: Basically like new, not sure what brand it is.

Mallets: One is your standard wooden mallet, like new. (10 1/2" tall) The other is Craftool Pro, and I think is plastic? Like new as well (7 3/4" tall) 

Cardboard Sets : In good condition, though a few have clearly been used. Contains both letters and numbers. I haven't confirmed if all the letters are represented or not.  They're all about 2" tall (the letters, that is)

Wireless Power Bank set: A Tandy set to make a powerbank case. New. The power bank is included, but I have no idea if it still works. Unopened. 

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. 

 

 

[Simplejack1985]

I sent you a message

[jw255]

I'm interested in the:

(1) Crafttool pro mallet

(2) Rivet Setter Set

(3) Rotary Cutters

I'll PM you to work out the details... Thanks!

[rhetorice]

Fourth Batch. Sorry to everyone who I left hanging - life suddenly got super busy for me, but I should've replied to everyone. 

Note:  In addition to whatever's been noted, rivet set, rest of the rotary cutters, and the craftool mallet have been spoken for. 

Emoji Stamp set: Tandy, 24 stamps total. Basically like new.

Clamp: 2inch clamp. Good condition, but not perfect. 

Leather Shears: Three total, two black, one red. Fair condition - not the best, but they should all work. The black ones have more rust than the red. 

Pyography pen: Untested. I have no clue how to work it anyway.  Looks like it's in okay condition? Not sure of anything about it. 

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.

Plug it in.  If it gets hot, the element is working.  This is pretty old.  Maybe from the 50s or 60s.  Have lots better now for good prices.  Unless someone is interested in an antique, I'd chuck it in the garbage.

It might be that old, although it seems to look just like the one's I played with in the late 80's and 90s.  Probably had a long production run?    Might be collectible someday if it says "USA" on it.

Plugged it in, yep, it works! Yeah, there was a way nicer one in the pile as well, but I'm keeping that one. Thanks for the tip- if no one's interested, straight to the trash it goes.

[rhetorice]

Batches five and six! One more after this- saved the stamps for last. 

Note: In addition to whatever's been noted, alphabet book has been spoken for.

Maul: Craftool. 10 inches long. A few impressions on the head. Good condition.

Modelers: 5 handles. Four of them are set, but one has removable heads with an extra head to the side. Like new. 

Bag of Random Tools: Assorted tools. I'm not even sure all of them are for leatherworking. Some are like new, others in fair condition. Check the picture for which specific tools are there. 

Lot of Stencils: Two Plastic Craftool stencils, still with covering on them. Like new. Metal Stencils have 'aleks melnyk' on them. Like new or new. 

Mister: Tandy Mister. Like new.

Precision cutter and swivel knife: Swive knife is in fair condiiton, as is the cutter. Cutter comes with three different saw blades. Yep, saw blades. 

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.

Could I have the stencils please?

[rhetorice]

Hey folks! Sorry for the month-late update (college kicked my butt for a tad there) but here's my last batch. I'll begin shipping out and doing payment stuff as soon as you confirm with me you're ready. 

Note: In addition to what already has been noted, the stencils, mister, modeling tools, swivel knife have been spoken for. 

Tiny Stamps: An L, M, J, 0, and 2 as well as two attaching things. I'm not sure what they're officially called. They're 1/4" by 3/8". Like new.

Medium Assorted Stamps: Heart, Club, Diamond, and Clover (Full Suite). USA, bull head, rainbow, a four-leaf clover, and a collection of music notes. Like new. Approximately 3/4" x 3/4". I don't have any of the attaching things (again, not sure what they are called).

Medium Alphabet Stamps: Full alphabet and attaching things, missing only the F and W. I'll include the holder, if you like. Approximately 3/4" x 3/4". Like new.

Big America Stamps: Two flying eagles (in different configurations) two different styles of the American flag, and two eagle heads. The only difference between the heads is the way they face. Like new. Needs attaching things.

Big Seals Stamps:  United States of America Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Military, and Coast Guard Seals. I'm not sure if they're the official seals or not. 1 1/8" by 1 1/8". Like new.

Assorted Big Seals: 1 1/8" by 1 1/8". Like new. Ribbon, Anchor, Cowboy Hat, Praying Hands, Horse and foal, two identical hearts, Ambulance symbol (I think?), and Love, sun with a face, and a "Handcrafted by".

I have one attaching thing for the big stamps as well (not pictured). Like new. 

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. 

Thank you everyone so much for your interest! I'm sure my grandfather would have been happy his tools are going to good places (and I'm happy the pile on my floor might soon disappear). 

 

 

[Simplejack1985]

Add the following stamps to my pile please

Heart,diamomd,club and spade, clover, cow skull, 4 leaf clover, both flying eagles, cowboy hat, and anchor
