I've decided to sell my house in Vermont and liquidate my shop. I've booked a flight back and will hold a public sale on the weekend of May 14-15. Almost all of the machines, tools, and materials I've accumulated during my time there are available.

Since I will only be in town for a limited time I will not ship any items. If you want them, come get them or arrange for a friend to pick them up for you.

A list of available items and their "buy-it-now" prices are below. If you see something you want, post here in this thread to reserve it. Anything not sold at its "buy-it-now" price by Saturday, May 14, will be sold for the best offer received by noon on Sunday, May 15.

If you are interested in something that has already been reserved by another interested party, I will gladly write you down as next in line in case the deal falls through. For the larger items, I will require confirmation by Monday, May 9, that you will indeed take it. If you are not interested in reserving any of the larger items you are still welcome to come by and pick through the small stuff or make offers on remaining inventory. There's a fair amount of steel, some handle materials and other various items that may be of interest, and some of it will probably go pretty cheap. Just let me know ahead of time so I have an idea of how many people to expect.

This sale will be cash only (although I will also accept gold or silver at spot).

Wulf,
I can't come up. My wife is having major surgery two days later, and I need to be here to help prepare her and the family for the ordeal. Go ahead and sell the vise to whoever wants it. Sorry that I can't come up, but this is a big deal for our little family.
 
Kevin, I understand completely. My best wishes to you both.

I've updated the list with a few more reservations and also added two items I had forgotten about:
Homebuilt heat treating forge body $75
Smith O/A Torch set, like new $200
 
Hi Old,
I'm afraid all I could find was this one:

I have a few square bars of Don Hanson W2 left (I think they're 2" square?), a box of cut up 6" strips of 15n20 for damascus and a bunch of 1"x1/4" 1084 to go with it (from Aldo), also a fair amount of 1095, also from Aldo, some leftover round bars of L6 and a few other odds and ends laying about...

Since I'm currently far away from the shop, I'm unfortunately unable to take any pictures or measurements right now
