I, like Bill Burton, have bid on and won many things from Premier Machinery Auctions. I agree with Bill, they are a top notch auction company.

I am also one of the people in the "Twin Cities Home Machinists" group who knew Russell Garrens personally, and I can attest to his skills as a machinist, and to the fact that he did indeed use the equipment in his shop.? I have attended many live machine shop auctions with Russell back in the day when that was a thing, and when Russ was there also, (which was most of them) I stood very little chance of out bidding him for things we both wanted.??
?
Bear in Mind that this is not a "one and done" auction.? Premier estimates it will take at least 12 Auctions of 400 to 500 lots each, over the course of the next year to get through this shop.??
?
I would also like to point out that Russell's shop did not always look like this? The clutter and apparent disarray is a combination of the Covid lockdowns, and a Cancer diagnosis and Russell's attempt to cope with all that he was going through.?
