April 7th Show Notes

There was agreement that the club has the skills and resources to help families dispose of tools and wood after a turner has passed
Ward will solicit interest, in the next Newsletter, for committee members to establish policy and practices
It was noted that:
- Most families are interested in disposing wood and equipment rather than making a quick buck or recouping sunk costs
- These tasks can be made more manageable by sharing the load
- There are templates/policies available from other clubs that will help us determine best practices- for example AWA Tool Disposal Program
- Inventories, pictures and prices are helpful to selling
- Our experienced turners can generally estimate what people are willing to spend on a piece of used equipment
- Safety and security of the family is important, as well as the safety of members helping to dispose of equipment, particularly heavy pieces
- Limiting sales to cash-only helps eliminate scams (like those seen on Craig’s List or Facebook Market Place)
- Common courtesies go a long way in helping out
