Hi Byron,


Thank you very much Byron.

The UPS email might have come and maybe I deleted it. I'm still having with my eyes. My new glasses are coming next week which should make it a little better.

  Joe,

  This a good thing you're doing.  Our club has been involved in providing canes to the Wounded Warriors for several months.  If you get a chance go to http://capitolwoodcavers.org web site, click on WWW Cane Proj.  and you'll see some of the neat canes we've given away.

    Joe,

    Sorry I meant to send the last post in private. I just hit the wrong button.

    Besides Denny, tools have arrived from Big Dog, Rod Schriver, Gordon Corlette and Mike Kray. There are more that are in the mail including a check for $25. I am always amazed at the generosity of our woodcarving community. You people are really something.

    I think we already have everything we need in tools, donated from you carvers, if all those who said that they are sending some do. I know that we already have enough knives. I will take all the tools, even extras to them. There's just no such thing as having too many knives when there's wood to whittle. Carving Magazine is going to send a bunch of past issues for continuing education.

    Norm Brady, my past student and the fellow who making the arrangements, has already purchased all the wood and a set of Marple chisels on ebay.

    Tom, I'm not sure how many disabled veterians will be in class. We now have 3 for sure and expect to have 5. I don't know how many there are at the base and which ones are interested. But I'm thinking that we have all the chisels and knives we'll need for now if they all come in. One item I think I will need is a power carver. like Ryoby, with FlexCut chisels (or another power carver) because I think one only has one arm.

    Depending on the extent of the disabilities 3 to 5 students might be all we can handle. Norm Brady and my wife Sharon will be helping me. More like I will be helping Norm and Sharon because they have much more experience with disabilities. I am proud to be part of the team and represent all of you. I'm hoping we can keep it going after this class.

    If we do this again what I would like to do is to give out the name and some information on each disabled veterian (with their permission) so people can ship the tools and supplies directly them. That would be a great way for them to build a network of woodcarving friends. I will be giving them the list of names and contact information of those who are donating to this first class.
