Hi good friends,
On Sunday my truck was broken into and $2K+ worth of my construction tools were stolen. While my fine woodworking tools are safe (thank God), these tools are my bread and butter. It’s hard to express how terrible it feels to lose your tools for your livelihood, but I think those of you who are carpenters and woodworkers (and I guess anyone who relies on tools for a living) know what I’m talking about. If you are able to donate something to help me recover the cost of replacing them I would be very grateful. I’d be equally grateful if you have any extras of any of the tools listed below to donate.
Some of what I lost is irreplaceable (some I've had for 30 years); I’m only listing the tools that I use basically every day. Many thanks to all who have expressed support. I can’t tell you how much it means to me.
