What to do with your tools when you die ?
To add a little history to the above question I thought you may be interested to hear what would happen if you were working in London in the 18th century , London at that time was like some parts of China and India are today , in the fact of working long hours for minimal wages . When a woodworker could no longer work because of his age and health he had a retirement party on a bridge over the river Thames after much drink and food he would chuck his bag of tools into the river because he so hated his job - this was their celebration though this is thought to have been largely symbolic because we guess that the good tools would have been given to his sons and the bag possibly had rocks in the bottom and some warn out tools on the top .
What to do with your serviceable tools that you have no more use for? Well our students are eternally grateful to all the kind people who have donated their tools to our furniture school.
