I told my son that I’ve got too many tools and have to start giving more of them away. He’s only a couple of months old, but he didn’t like that news one bit!
(No, of course I didn’t make my son cry. But it’s how I feel when I think about giving so many tools away.)
Advertisement
Here’s the deal – I’ve got too many tools. Way too many personal tools that I don’t use often or at all, and way too many tool samples that are past their editorial and comparative usefulness. And yet I keep buying more tools to check out!
Many times when you see a new hand tool preview, and it’s something I cannot check out via PR channels, I buy one for the ToolGuyd workshop.
I donate tools to Habitat for Humanity when I can, but there’s only so much the local chapter can accept and use.
I’ve tried offering tools to regional Makerspaces, and while they seem enthusiastic at the idea, when it comes time to make arrangements to actually deliver the tools to them, nobody gets back to me.
Sending tools out to readers one at a time would never get done. I simply don’t have the time for such logistics.
I’m also not too eager to hold several dozen random giveaways. There are too many things that must be done to ensure fair and random winner selection.
Advertisement
So what I’d like to do is a run a “giftaway.”
What’s a giftaway? It’s like a giveaway, but I choose the winner subjectively. Readers who comment or send in tips stand better chances of receiving a tool gift than those who don’t. It’s not about who I like, or don’t like, but whether your name is familiar to me from your comments or emails. But there’s really no “chance” involved. That’s why this isn’t a giveaway, it’s a giftaway.
I’ve got a lot of tools that I spent good money on and don’t really want to part with, but I really need to cull my tool collection. While Ebay and Craigslist are options where I could recoup some of the expense, I would rather give away my tools to readers than deal with the hassle of selling them.
There might even be couple of quick giveaways thrown into the mix.
Tool giftaways will mostly consist of my personal tools, giveaways will mostly consist of older editorial samples.
I am also open to alternative ideas about where to send these tools. If you know of a Makerspace, non-profit organization, or tool library that could use some new tools, please let me know.
Before anyone says “there’s no such thing as too many tools,” there really is. Even with off-site storage, I have come to the point where I work around my tools more than I work with them. With my newborn son and many projects on my plate, it’s time to trim the tool fat.
I plan to bundle tools together. This is the most efficient way of doing things.
You will start seeing individual giftaway announcements later this year. This is just an advanced notice. If you’re interested in throwing your name into the hat, the best way for me to learn your name is by seeing it in comments.
mnoswad1
name in hat please.
unrelated…….. Stu, whats your thoughts on when the dws780 miter saw with free stand promo might be coming back around?
Stuart
It’s hard to say. Some sales never come around twice. Big box retailers might aim to sell more of the lower-priced DWS782 (https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/dewalt-dws782-12-sliding-miter-saw/%3C/a%3E%29 this holiday season, which would mean fewer promos on the DWS780.
mnoswad1
Oh, very good point.
A $200 premium for the led light should steer lots of dws782 sales. But for me the xps light is the main selling point.
Matthew Fant
Well said! The xps light is an amazing feature. I bought the free stand combo, and then had trouble finding the 10inch version with xps compatibility. I bought a second hand version, and rebuilt it, to almost new condition. It’s a good saw, but the xps system was what sold it to me.
matt
Nooooooooooo!
(my recent daughter, Audrey, is having the same reaction)
I am in a similar boat- the school where my wife works has an after-school science/maker/shop club that I normally donate the cast-offs, but they are running out of space. Other local places are in need of very specialized tools for their work and don’t like general tool donations- so if you hear of a good program in need of tools, let me know, too.
Matt
Bruce Ray
While I’d like to be selected, I’d rather see the tools go where the most folks can benefit. Please see A Concord Carpenter (Robert Robillard) at http://www.aconcordcarpenter.com/ and his work with Build America. He may have some good insight as to who could put your “extra” tools to good use.
Thanks for your newsletter, too!
Stuart
A lot of construction-suitable tools go to Habitat for Humanity. When I last checked, Build America allows for monetary donations, but not for smaller tool donations.
Bundling things to send to readers is going to be a lot easier, and realistically, the easier it is to move excess tools the greater the likelihood it’ll happen.
Steven
I completely understand what you are going through. I have 3 little ones and had to put quite a few projects on hold. I have donated tools to people who lost everything during storms we have had through our state. I wish there was an organization to do that. A hammer or a crowbar can go a long way when you have nothing. Keep up the posts and put my name in the hat. Also thanks for the detailed review of Ridgid Pro Organizer, Tool Box, and Gear Cart. That is on my Christmas list, you can not have enough storage.
Stuart
The problem with this is that it’s too hard to vet everyone’s stories. There are a lot of fraudsters out there who would sell a sob story and then flip any donated tools on Ebay or Craigslist.
bymbie
1. Remember, you need to start buying tools for your son soon. I have a 2 years old and a three weeks old and the older one is crazy about tools. He regularly unpacks my tools (the ones I let him)… plays with 1/2″ sockets and extensions. I bought him a toy Bosch drill and he loves it…
2. I’m not sure where you live, but school budgets are cut left and right and usually “non-core” departments feel the squeeze first. Maybe you could donate some of your tools to technical departments of schools, especially if you have institutions around you that mostly serve underprivileged students.
Stuart
One thing I considered is putting together a package or two for FIRST robotics teams. Otherwise, donating straight to schools, instead of clubs and sponsorable teams, could be too complicated for me to work around.
Mike
My 15 month old also LOVES tools. He’s got the plastic set and some select tools that have been “retired.” He’s fascinated by tape measures. Toss a fat max on the floor and he’s entertained for 15 minutes easy! One of his other favorites is some old little black and decker 4v screw gun thing. Battery was dead, don’t even know where it came from. He knows how it work, he watches me and tries to do the same thing with his drill.
Tristan
would any of the local (to you) junior or high school shop classes have a use for them?
Stuart
Shop classes? What shop classes? =(
Farid
That sounds great! There is one organization I can think off right away in my area that can benefit from this, and perhaps there is one in your area as well. It’s called Third Hand Bicycle cooperative (http://www.thirdhand.org/joom/).
It’s a great organization that offers low income families a chance at a decent bike for very low cost. Most of the adult bikes donated need some kind of repair, so they get to work on it and learn a useful skill in the process. This place also offers apartment dwellers with no workshop space or tools a place to work on and repair their own. They recycle bikes and bike parts. They often offer little kids bikes for literally a few bucks to encourage young riders. That’s great since otherwise, perfectly good kids bikes often end up in the trash.
Fins
I use a web tool (namely Feedly) to read this blog and I thought I would be the very first few people to read this post.
But it seems I’m not quick enough to leave the message! Glad to be in the list.
nmk_61802
Would love to be a receive a portion of this “Giftaway”, however either way this is a great idea and someone will be very fortunate.
Pete
Wow I can’t think of a single place that you could donate some tools. My first thought is your local boy scout troop but that wouldn’t do much good seeing as how they mostly just need someone to donate time to teach them stuff rather than receiving stuff like tools.
Welp goodluck
Nick
It’s a nice problem to have.
Stuart
You wouldn’t say that if you saw my storage bill.
DLovely
Our fair town of Denver is getting ready to launch a not for profit tool library. I love the idea of tool libraries! I’m sure they would be thrilled to get whatever they can.
They can be contacted through their website: http://denvertoollibrary.org/
But it's me!
I know it is a bit off topic, but how does your wife feel about your tool purchases? My lovely wife tends to look with disdain on my tool purchases although I believe I use them for their intended purposes, at least justifying them to myself. Of course, she likes when I finish a project around the house.
Stuart
I don’t think she cares about the tools I buy – she probably just wants to stop seeing them everywhere.
Part of the problem is that I have so many different types of ongoing projects that there are so many specialty tools and supplies. A lot of these tools I use regularly, but don’t really need to keep them in my already cramped workspace.
JG
Us only? I’m from Europe so giving you heads up in case of me having a sudden outbreak of knowledge here haha
Robert Parsons
Stuart,
Thanks for the opportunity. It’s great to see you being able to give others your excess tools. Thanks for the opportunity and the articles!
Matt from Texas
Nice of you to do this Stuart.
I regret not posting more often on your site, but I check regularly maybe on average 10 times a day, as your site is bookmarked in my “news” bookmarks across all my devices. I’m OCD you could say, read every article since finding your site and occasionally buy tools based on your reviews and recommendations.
I’m an educator who works with the more challenging HS students at a disciplinary school. I bring my own tools to school for kids to use for general makery and DIY after core class assignments are complete.
Keep me and my students in mind…
Thanks,
Matt from Texas!
Eric
Hi Stuart,
I understand your issue and am part of a non-profit that could certainly benefit. Wheels is a program that takes donated cars, inspects and re-conditions them to then donate to people that have transportation needs. To date, we’ve given away 475 cars!
We are growing and as such, our tool needs are always expanding!
Please email me and I can provide more details if you’d like!
Chad
Stuart
you should do a write up and photo show of all your tools and places you have them at. Kind of like Garage Journal has on there site you can look at all the garages and shops!!
Also have you ever done a review of the Pelican Tool Case? I’m about to do a search on your site but thought I would ask.
One last thing, from the reply about donating tools to a shop class or tech class at a high school, I don’t think that there are many left at all. I know my HS in Tallahassee closed its shop class down in the mid 90’s
thanks for all the great tool review!
Stuart
As soon as my small workspace will be clean enough for photos, it’ll probably be time to pack up and move.
Over the next few months I plan to move ALL my non-immediately-needed tools offsite, which will make my workspace boring but much more efficient.
I haven’t reviewed the Pelican Tool Case yet, assuming you’re talking about this one – https://14cyiuhvcgv.com/pelican-0450-mobile-tool-chest/%3C/a%3E . I still haven’t gotten around to foam-lining the drawers, but the pallets are working out nicely and I haven’t had issues with tools banging around or jammin in the un-lined drawers. I’ll foam it up once I finalize which tools will stay and which won’t, meaning probably never. At one point I will probable settle on a combination between foam and elastic-band pallets.
Overall, it’s a great portable tool box, but it’s heavy and the plastic drawers are so-so compared to the ball bearing slides I’m used to.
Chad
Yes! thats the pelican case i was asking about — thinking about pulling the trigger around the end of the year ( if xmas for the family doesn’t wipe me out!) ive got a few tool bags, rolls, and an old tool box just for wrenches/socket sets. I want everything in one box. its not a tone of tools ( basic sg, torx sets, pliers a few grips, cutters and drill and batteries ) just tired of hunting for a wrench of sg !!!
thanks again for all the great reviews
Stuart
If you don’t need portability, you can get a 26″ wide 16″ deep ball bearing chest for less. The major appeal of the Pelican case is its portability.
mikeh
wow – i saw the caption and the photo in the daily ToolGuyd email and thought you were giving away your first born this month…glad it’s “just” the tools 😉
DanG
Stuart,
I think it is a wonderful idea. It tells me what type of person you are. Keep up the good work and great reviews also. I reply on occasion but trust me, your reviews are the highlight of my day. Wish I would have found your reviews sooner than I did.
Joshua Latham
Stuart,
You are a better man than I am. I am just too stingy. I also have 4 boys waiting to get there hands on my tools. I am trying to collect enough to give each one a basic starter set of hand tools. Good luck gifting and keep up the great site.
Bill K
Instinctively due to life experiences I don’t expect something for nothing. While I’ve hoped to get your past give always in the past, I truly feel I get a gift everyday when I read ToolGuyd. Sincerely getting real unbiased info and reviews is great gift. Your willingness to have email exchanges on special reader interests is very very unique in this world today, when some businesses have a zero service model. ToolGuyd is the best give-away and everybody gets it.
After a little mental brainstorming on your dilema……. How about donating the tools to some non-profit group(s) as a local group fund raiser and have them raffle or sell them. If you could get by any liability issues, this sounds doable. You get rid of the tools, take a tax reduction, and they expend the energy to bring value to their group. Just a thought.
Not knowing what the quantity is, I suspect you might need to use numerous and different approaches depending on the tools.
It’s a fun problem to have, as compared to doing a project and not having the right tool or any tool to complete it.
Stuart
Thank you for the kind words!
Unfortunately, a shortage of time means I cannot always respond 1-on-1 to emails and comments, but I’m trying my best not to let this slip too much.
As far as this being a fun problem to have, tool build-up has actually been somewhat of a hindrance. I’m now working around my tools more than working with them, which slows down project and review progress, which leads to a backlog, which makes things worse.
One of these days I’m going to count up how many L-Boxxes, ToughSystem boxes, Systainers, Akro Mils containers, and Sterilite totes are in use. The number will surely be astounding.
James C
Stu, I have a somewhat similar problem but on a much smaller scale. I sometimes get tool gifts or buy things that are in a great sale, but I end up never using them. Often they remain in their original packaging. After some time, I usually end up gifting, or re-gifting them to my friends. Of course, the good and bad news is that just frees up more space for new tools!
928'er
If your local Junior College has auto shop courses, that might be a way to thin your herd of some mechanic’s type tools. I know that as a starving student, auto shop classes were in invaluable resource. Auto shop provided the tools and work space to help me keep my worn out old Triumph TR3 on the road.
James
gene
Hi. Can I nominate 2 local organizations in my area? Both organizations are very generous to local woodworkers and future woodworkers.
RWS-Rochester Woodworkers Society http://www.rochesterwoodworkers.org/ and the Tool Thrift Shop of Fairport, http://toolthriftshop.org/.
Cheers,
Gene
Yadda
Workshop Houston would probably and gladly accept any donations.
http://www.workshophouston.org/
I believe they are a worthy non profit organization. They help kids and older youth in inner city Houston. I haven’t had an opportunity to work with them yet, but have hopes of volunteering with them in the future. Something to consider.
John S
As always, I have a great deal of respect for what you have done with ToolGuyd thus far and continue to do going forward. This sounds like a great idea to serve others and help you get closer to organized!
Andrew E.
Aside from putting my own name in that hat, I’d definitely recommend a recently founded makerspace in Syracuse, Ny:
http://saltmaker.org/
The SALT Makerspce just opened and I’ve volunteered to help them out when I can, and have even been to a couple of their workshops to learn how to mig weld and work with an acetylene torch. There’s a great and dedicated guy running the place too.
Dave
Can’t wait for the giveaways, been an avid reader for years. I would suggest not just reviewing certain tools, but perhaps showing pictures of how you used the particular tool in a recent project. Having little ones put’s it all on hold, but things still need to get done 🙂
Nick
There’s a makerspace I periodically go to in Hoboken, NJ called the MakerBar, they’re always glad to get donated tools and materials. I recently gave them some machining bits that were wasting away in my storage unit (ugh) because they had pooled money to get a harbor freight mini lathe for the shop. You may have seen them at the New York Maker Faire, the last 2 years their centerpiece was the Rendersphere: http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?section_id=36&doc_id=1319591
They’re a non-profit if that makes a difference. If you want to check them out, their meetup page has plenty of info and pics about what they do: http://www.meetup.com/MakerBar/
And here’s their public discussion board where you can see what members and followers talk about: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/makerbar
Honestly, even though they have a compact shop area with a mismatched collection of donated or loaned tools (not all of them working), my sense is that most of the projects going on here are of a coding/electronics/arduino/LEDs/motors/3D-printing/small crafts nature. It’s probably not too often that someone reaches for a socket wrench, so I don’t see them as an ideal candidate for some types of tools you’ve reviewed, but I know they’d take what they can get. They were happy to take my 8 year old obsolete printer and harvest it for motors and other small parts.
Bert would probably be the best guy to contact ([email protected]) and Jordan is the shop manager ([email protected])
caleb ramsey
yay all hail stuart 🙂 early christmas time
Stan
Stuart,
Please do not consider this post as consideration for this “Giftaway”, but I do have some suggestions that being a smart man, you probably know of.
If you have extra tools, why not trade them/sell them online? Even Harbor Freight items are worth something to some people. I’ve seen websites such as Garage Gazette and Garage Journal where people do this.
eBay is another option, but with all the fees and such, if you are willing to a take a gamble, this might work out for you. Arguably, this isn’t always the best option, but tool truck brands i.e Snap-On, Matco, Mac, Cornwell and higher end brands such as Starrett, Browne and Sharpe and typically vintage American made tools tend to go for some money.
As for shop classes, in today’s world, what are those? I wish I was even kidding about that as well……
Stuart
None of these posts are for Giftaway consideration. =)
Selling the tools is a lot of hassle – more hassle than I can manage. Giving them away is an easy-out. Plus, keep in mind that some of the tools in question are review samples that I cannot in good conscious sell or profit from. They must be donated or given away.
A personal tool given away is one I know that will go to good use. A ToolGuyd tool given away goes from being an editorial expense to a promotional expense. A sample that is given away is one that receives proper treatment.
Bundling tools together means less shipments, which means less boxing up, less trips to the UPS/FedEx store, and less hassle.
I’ve thought this over. Given the excess tools away is the best way to go.
NitroSpaceLobster
Post some pics of the tool chaos? I would love to see what too much of a good thing looks like 🙂
Bill Clay
I was going to say the same thing. Pictures please!
fred
I’m in a somewhat similar position – but at the other end of my life. While I’ve no immediate plans for “shuffling off this mortal coil” I’ve started thinking about what to do with my considerable tool collection accumulated since the 1960’s. While I have no immediate need to downsize – and have about 2400 square feet of shop, a 3 car garage, and 2 walk in attics to store things – I’m thinking that I should have a better game plan than leaving everything to the kids to deal with (they do not share my passion/compulsion) via eBay, garage sales an auction etc. In addition to your issues, mine include concerns about disposing of old machine tools like a big Unisaw (with sliding table), 8 inch jointer, 18 inch band saw, old Sears RAS, miter saw, scroll saw, belt/disk sanding station, spindle sander, 20 inch drill press, 15 inch surface planer, IR stationary compressor, and a mortising machine. All of my machine tools – with the exception of the fairly new Bosch miter saw – while well maintained – are quite long in the tooth – and not something you can put in a box (an oak crate might do for some) and send off to a buyer. When I moved into my current home – I needed machinery movers to transport a few of the tools that furniture movers would not handle.
For disposal , I had thought that a charity – e.g. ones that run local thrift stores – might take some of the items – but your experience seems to indicate that this is problematical at best. I’ll be interested to follow how you plans work out. Good Luck!
Tom
I would gladly provide you with a prepaid flat rate box made out to me! hahaha…. actually, it might be fun to get one of the little flat rate boxes and see how much weight you can stuff into it. You could stroll into the post office, acting like it weighs nothing just to see the shock on the mailman’s face when they try to pick it up.
Stuart
Tom,
Email me your name, non-PO Box address, and phone number.
I’ve got a Triangle Tools ratchet and extension with your name on it, if you want it. =)
I remember you asked about the brand a couple of months ago, and I unfortunately couldn’t find a distributor for you.
Ktash
I’ve given a few meager things to a local community college instructor. This guy was happy to get them. These guys often use their own personal tools with students and both the ones I know are not well-off financially. Also, not the same liability issues if you just give them to them, like make them one of the giftaways. If they are local, they will probably come and pick them up. If you call the college and ask who teaches the auto/carpentry/trades classes and how to contact them, it should be pretty easy. Likely you can just send them an email. If you try to contact the college directly you’ll probably get a bunch of bureaucratic red tape. It’s the same situation with the adult ed program that teaches woodworking here, two guys teaching two classes at a local high school and using their own equipment for the students. I think these folks are devoted to teaching these subjects because they are important.
You do a great service with your blog and I’ve already gotten some tools for excellent prices because you wrote about a deal for something I needed and also gotten better quality stuff because of your unbiased reviews.
Cute picture, though the little guy looks sad he’s not desperately sad.
RKA
Stuart, if you contact Middlesex County Votech and they are interested, I’d be happy to arrange transport in my little station wagon. I believe I’m in your area and I do have some time off the last week of Oct.
Aside from that I’d be just as happy to get some cool toys! Donate some, give some away, everyone is happy.
Gary T.
Stuart,
Great way to help solve your problem of too many tools. I can understand how you feel. I’ve been trying to complete my tool collection over the last couple of years (it will never happen because there is always something else I’ll need or want to try). In the process of trying different tools, I’m finding out I’m running out of room. So like you, I started to give away some of the duplicate tools to make some room. I think some of my friends are thinking, “what another free tool, OK, but I think you already gave me more than I wanted”. Any way good luck on making some space.
Joe M
Geez… I know how you feel. I don’t have very many tools, myself, but my apartment/workspace/etc. is running out of room to put all my tools as it is. I have several I want, but I have to think of storage solutions first.
I don’t have kids myself, but I have two cats and several female friends who do have kids, and I know how paranoid a tool person can get when these such creatures enter the tool space. If I was younger, I would be worried my cats, or the kids, would touch or move my tools to a place I didn’t put them. Now I worry my tools will fall on or injure the cats or kids.
Unfortunately, I’m in Canada and don’t have any suggestions that would help you there where you are. And likely there would be problems with Customs if you tried to send me a “Giftaway”… So let this post simply be my throwing my hat behind you in support for your frustration. I feel for you, Stuart. It’s hard to sift through your tools to… “Cull the Herd” so to speak… Both sentimentally, and physically sorting through that volume of stuff in such a small space at once.
miss franciene
I have way to many tools. Sometimes I let my friends borrow my tools. Sometimes my friends let me borrow their tools. Big deal!!!!…
Sean Manning
I’d like to enter my FIRST Robotics Team. We work with Students building robots that compete at local and national competitions. We are always in the need for tools. It’s an expensive program, and tools are the last item we can afford. Check out our website riotcrew.org or if you have a team geographically near you, you might want to consider them.
Dave Wittmann
Does habitat for Humanity in your area have a “Re-Store”? I donate extra materials to ours all the time. They do not “use” donated items, but rather, re-sell them to help fund the organization. St. Vincent Dupaul also has a similar store in our area. Good Will would be another option for donating. At least this way, you could get a bit of a tax break on them.
joe
Some tools I love for their usefulness others I just love for how they look. I personally would not trim off the tool fat unless i’m getting to the point of retiring….the kid takes the old good trusty tools and the rest for giveaways. Is the wife being and influence too? lol…just kidding. But I love tools like females love makeup and shoes….can you aford to build a very organized tool box for your tools?
We have tools in our blood lol, well i’m mostly speaking for myself but I thought I would give my two cents…lol
Having said that, any of your tools would find a good home in my house. 🙂
Reisen
Commenting to say only that I like the idea. Audience participation is huge in the blogging world. I read toolguyd as much for the discussions in the comments as for the articles themselves.
Michael Quinlan
That’s funny. My family gets the same look on their faces when I *buy* more tools.
On a side note – thanks for posting a new picture of the little guy!
cb
Wow, Looks like I’m late to the party.
While it’s always nice to receive a gift (especially tools) but I would like to recommend finding out if there is any design schools in your area, like an art or architecture school. They are the very few educational institutions still using and needing tools. They are the ones still trying to learn and use traditional tools and methods. The students are usually dead broke and could benefit receiving a tool to help make there projects from an idea to real.
What your doing is a nice gesture. Cheers!
Ed Sichler
I have two daughters, one whom has become quite a DIYer and has acquired from her parents some serious tools (both new and extras which I had). My youngest is now away at college and I made sure before she left that she had a small toolbag with the basics as well as tools for her mountain bike. We will be visiting soon for Parents weekend and I will reach out to see if there are any tools they have needed which they don’t have and then will go into my several tool boxes and see if I have extras which I can take up to her for the toolbag. Not too sure if all parents think like I do for our young adults in college dorms but perhaps universities have programs where tools can be donated, including storage that can be loaned out to dorm students who can make their own repairs.
Rick Andrews
I have a dremel mm40 and some galvanized spiral nails to cut off to remove some clapboard which blade should I use and or brand that will fit my mm40 Thanks always read the reviews great site some don`t relate to me as some of the tools you review are not available in Canada Hope the blade you tell me to get can be bought up here Thanks again
Stuart
If my Bosch OMT blade comparison taught me anything, it’s that Bosch’s carbide blades are superb for metal-cutting applications.
The OSC114C is available via Amazon.ca, but doesn’t look like you can get it from Home Depot there.
Gary T.
Well Stuart, if you were hoping that you would get increased comments as a side effect of your giftaway announcement, it looks like it is working for you.
Stuart
That wasn’t the goal, but that’s not to say that increased comment frequency isn’t welcome. To be honest, I haven’t noticed a big difference, which is good. Readers should comment because they have something to say and what to be a part of the discussion, and not because they’re looking to score free tools.
John Sullivan
Stuart,
Although I’m far from your most active commenter, I’ve been here for a while and we’ve exchanged email, so you might recognize my name. What I probably have NOT mentioned is that I work for a non-profit higher ed institution (see my email address for the name– not sure if I’m allowed to beg for freebies in any official capacity) and that we’re currently building a Maker Space for undergraduate use. So while I will continue to comment and am throwing my own name into the ring for personal “giftaway” purposes, if you’d like to hear more about what we’re doing to develop the Maker Space, I’d like to nominate the institution for some of your generosity.
Thank You,
John Sullivan
Stuart
I definitely recognize your name from your great comments. =)
If you have any special requests, sent me an email. If not, I’ll keep you in mind for tools I think might be especially fitting.
