I spoke to Jogge Sundqvist last week about the outcome of the auction of his father's tools. I had asked him if I could post something about it - and he told me "of course." The short version is - Jogge was able to save/rescue/preserve a lot of his father's things due to the generosity of the "slojd community" - all of the wonderful people who responded when we asked for help. Thanks everyone, well done.

When I asked if I could post something, Jogge told me that Kara Gebhart Uhl from Lost Art Press had interviewed him & was going to write about it. I knew I would rather read Kara's reporting on it than mine, so I didn't even bother. If you want the full story, here's the link to Kara's post - well worth the read. https://blog.lostartpress.com/2021/09/02/the-outcome-of-the-auction-to-preserve-wille-sundqvists-tools/
