Hey great tip something I really need to do before I open my doors. insurance is a major concern for me because I’m thinking about opening my shop up on Saturdays for small monthly fee and letting a few area woodworker work on projects without the investment of all the tools. I’m still working out the details, but I’m hoping this will help offset some of the expense of rent and utility’s so that I can do the Monday thru Friday full time woodworker. Thanks for the advice and I really enjoy the your podcast

Another you might be interested is specifically written for woodworking shop inventory and projects. It is pretty cool – does tool inventory and so much more.

Here is a quote from their intro piece:

“Software to organize the “e-” stuff in your Workshop
You provide the information – ShopFileR will help organize it”

“ShopFileR helps you organize all of your workshop links and favorites, pdf manuals, project and tool information and pictures. It is designed to help bring order to the electronic data in your shop and reduce your file clutter and let you file and find things quickly and easily. It lives on your PC desktop and your information is stored on your PC, not on somebody’s Internet server.”

Presently offered at reduced price of $35.00.

I have no financial interest, etc.

This is great advice! We are all guilty (or have been at one point in time) of having lots of tools or anything else in abundance that adds up to significant value, but never considering the threat of it being taken away from theft or a fire.

You briefly mentioned doing the inventory to ensure you are properly insured. Again, great suggestion. It is important though to also to ask your agent specifically about insuring your tools after you have figured out their total value. Even if your personal possessions coverage of the policy seems high enough, you may have to schedule the tools separately, increase the limit, or add a rider to the insurance policy.

Best of luck!
