Well, I guess I should at least start joining in--trying to pare down over the past few years helping a bit.
Been reticent since, well, for starters, I have a bad tendency to have a lot of blades not photo-friendly from being in various states or torn down and rehilted in my tinkering, quirky ways. (Which is even more ill-advised when I've spent much of the last decade-plus as a consultant, on the go and living out of temporary lodgings w/o much of a workshop space or available tools. C'est la vie. Then also having a lot of as-is stuff in one of two storage spaces since I obviously can't be hauling much with me.)
Still, I'll try to get on the horse, and get some pics uploaded as I go on. Making it easier is that various people I've bought from or custoimized pieces have pre-existing pics--of better quality than I'll bother with most of the time!--so I might cheat and just use them.
Anyway, at least I can get the basic list up today. I'll add as needed, with photos ongoing as I get the chance. (* means it's yet another unfinished "project" in process; in parentheses is something I don't have, but unequivocally plan to acquire--or re-acquire if I let one go--in the near future!)
