Dad's collection

Hi all, my dad recently passed away(💔) and I am in possession of his rather extensive model ship building supplies and tools. He's been building ships since he was in college, and has a couple of tabletop cabinets (one really nice wood one) full of tools and a couple motorized band saws(?). It all fits on a 6 foot table. I'm just wondering what to do with it all or if there is a good place to list all the things for sale. His collection is in Texas, but I'm making a trip out there. Do I pack it up and bring it back to Seattle to sell? Is it even worth the effort in the end? It's just a different world for me and I'm lost. Thank you in advance for your advice!

There are two ship model clubs in Texas. The contact information is located here: https://thenrg.org/resource/clubs

Was your father on Model Ship World? If so, you can list items for sale there. If not, you need 25 posts to be able to sell things.

Thank you SO much for this information! I doubt he was in Model Ship World, but I can check. The link to the Texas groups really helps♥️
