The Downsizing Doula

There are five qualities that come to mind that set Japanese woodworking tools apart from all others. Tradition. A long, storied history harkening back centuries to Japanese sword makers of old. Design. Japanese tool design places an emphasis on both efficiency and productivity. Craftsmanship. The love and care that goes into making hand-forged steel chisels, is a thing to behold. Steel Used. Japanese tool-makers have perfected how steel is worked and tempered, impacting tool quality, durability and how well tools hold a sharp edge. Beauty. One need only look at Damascus knives or chisels to marvel at the outright beauty of these pieces.

This auction is all about tools and items found in a garage. The garage is located at the top of a bluff with a single lane steep driveway and limited parking on the street below. It is also inside a gated community where the gate is closed on weekends, hence a Friday Pickup.
