I hear you... but my philosophy is that whenever you're teaching, tools get broken... I keep a necked-down 5/16" end-mill that I personally broke on top of my mill to remind me... we all have had to learn sometime!
but when I've had people over to learn a new skill, I have actually netted more tools left behind than broken in the past... Offered to return them, but it wasn't worth the drive to them for some reason... [Beer]

If you're not in it for profit (and a host can't be), then loosing a few (inexpensive) tools isn't a problem...

I've sent a PM to some that I know personally from other parties, it's just an idea at this point... maybe it won't go anywhere.

When they ask if you'd like it replaced and not do anything. Why ask.

Do I owe you any drill bits?

I don't have an answer other than I <Personally> wouldn't ask unless I was going to follow through... off memory, I'll refer to Sniper7's sig line...

LOL, I'll answer that with: do you want to pick up your Dremel or your needlenose pliers?
Some may be shocked I remember- but I used your Dremel last week on a cast iron housing that I was welding for my tractor (it was handy to have 2 Dremels, with different bits loaded... so you came to mind recently.)
I'd consider the use I have gotten out of them as payment for any bits you broke... that I didn't demand be replaced (since another volunteer brought them)... so you're still welcome to pick them up!

If this thread was about avoiding publicity about previous events, I think I've failed, [ROFL2][ROFL3]

I forgot about that dremel................lol. And i have no idea what your talking about, with the previous events and all....i just remembered drilling something a little too hard for the bits a bit too fast, repeatedly, without lube - until someone had to bust out with the good bits.

I need to find a decent kit so my kid can finish what he started.....i picked up a sar kit a while back but couldn't pass up the chance to nearly triple my money on gunbroker during a crazy period so it got sold (it's called free market opportunity, not price gouging ;) ).
