Hi all – if you missed out on the Harmon Estate sale – you can still get in on the action! Cabin Fever took over the estate when I returned to Seattle last year. They have been slowly selling the inventory over the months following the sale in June of 2014. BUT! They have saved some of the best stuff for their annual Expo and the upcoming sale on March 22. Check out the inventory here.

I want to write a note of thanks to the Harmon family, my family, and to all of my volunteers for their generous help on the Harmon Estate Project.
I am extremely grateful to the Harmon family for giving me this opportunity. They have made it possible for me to build a workshop that it would take me a life time to acquire. I have dreams of making beautiful things and living up to the standards of their father, which might be impossible without the invaluable tools and equipment I have earned over the past 6 months. I could not have done any of this without the generosity of my friends and family and their steadfast belief in my endeavors. Thank you so much to all of you.
Thank you as well to my readers for your interest in this estate and my projects. For those of you who are horologists, craftsmen, beginners, enthusiasts, hobbyists, collectors – thank you for keeping this trade alive. It was a pleasure meeting many of you! I do hope that you’ll all stay in touch and keep reading as life unfolds and my next adventure takes shape.
Thank you as well to Mike, Wendy, & Stephanie for the excellent security service they provided during the sale too.
Here are some photos from the sale, the staff, and some highlights from the past 6 months.

We have a huge selection of gem quality raw sapphire – sold in varying sized bottles. The diamond lap table that is itself a standard is really something too. It comes with extra diamond wheels in a wood cabinet. We also have a large selection of lapping accessories.
