I am jealous.   Keep up the good work!

Love labels of your saws, in the couple of mine I had sharpened I've put on a piece of tape the values of sharpening angles but aesthetically it's horrible, yours are more vintage!

Also your usable tools are another great collection

I like your term, "toolseum"  

I also like your edited down users. A few good tools that you know well, and can keep sharp.

Be prepared if you show up at home during lunch break to move in your new bandsaw. You might find her unloading dresses from her car. It is a surprise for all.
