All these comments sound like a replay of my own thoughts. I too have a large collection of "stuff". Some of it is old, unusual or even unique: tools, guns, war relics, old jugs and bottles, signs. Some things were built by my father (table, desk, etc.) None of it is particularly valuable, but I've enjoyed it and display much of it in my home. Most of it come down through my family, and now it has reached the end of the line--me. I have two daughters, but neither have any interest in most of my stuff, other that what they might bring on Craigslist. I have a project underway to help them out when I'm gone (I'm 75 now, and live alone), so I'm trying to photograph the antique stuff and my tools to develop a "catalog" in order to give them an idea of what each item is and an approximation of how much it might be worth.

For instance, I have an old bloodstained shirt that my great grandfather was wearing when he was murdered in about 1876. Neither of my daughters gives a hoot about the shirt, and why should they? Oh, well, when I leave here I guess I won't much care what happens to my stuff. Problem is, I do care now.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
