Thousands of handcrafted antique tools which a retired woodworking teacher spent decades collecting but never used are now worth more than $35,000.
Roy Turnage, 88, spent years adding to his haul which includes more than 1,000 19th-century wood planes, handcrafted chisels, rulers, 200 saws, and a lathe.
Some of Mr. Turnage’s 30 tools, which were made by famed hand tool makers T. Norris & Son, are worth more than $1,100 each and could fetch far more.
