My neighbors across the street are really nice people. The husband has mentioned several times how he'd like to get into woodworking. The past year there has been some Craftsmen tools sitting in my garage taking up space and rusting. So the other day he was out front working on his car. I went over and asked him if he'd like some tools. Free. He came over to look in the garage and I showed him a belt driven sanding center (9" disk and 6" belt), a 6" jointer with stand and casters, a 3x20 belt sander and a pad sander. He said he didn't know how to use them and asked if he could get back to me.
The next day he stops by and says he was looking at YouTube videos and said, "I think I can do it. I'll take the tools!" His enthusiasm made me smile. So we carted the stuff over to his garage. He was all smiles. I felt like Santa Claus.
I think the tools found a good home and I believe he will enjoy them. And maybe he'll be bitten by the woodworking bug. Then his wife won't speak to me anymore. TRAITOR! ;)
