So why are you selling them?

 

[bshilkitus]

I just don't use them. I recently read Christopher Schwarz's book, "The Anarchist Tool Chest" (just one of the best book ever, my bible). One of the things he talks about in the book is all the tools he acquired over the years. Most of them just sitting around. Over time, he came to know which tools he used and which tools he didn't. He then began the process of selling the tools he didn't use and and slowly upgrading the ones he did. These were not necessarily bad tools, just tools that did not work their way into his particular methods. I am doing the same. I have learn which tools I go to and which ones I don't. Decluttering is good and Lie Nielsen chisels are expensive!
