As I reported at the BoD meeting we had a few weeks ago, I have some prizes in hand and was still soliciting from other vendors. Here is what I have so far:
Lee Valley: a medium shoulder plane, one of the DX60 premium block planes (not the nickel resist one but it is a premium plane at twice the tolerances of a standard Veritas block plane) and a small router plane. (Retail value: $175 + 179 + $55 = $409)
Lie-Nielsen: Two Cross Peen Hammers, one Brass head signed by Thomas Lie-Nielsen and one A2 Steel (Retail Value: $85 + $85 = $170)
Carolina Lumber Sourcing: About 50 BF of Curly Maple (22 boards in bundle) (Retail Value: $240)
Grizzly Industrial declined to contribute anything to us even though I/we offered to defray part of the cost.
Earlier, Coleman Fourshee of Klingspor had quoted just the Fuji HVLP Spray system, but I asked him for prices on more items.
Here is all of his stuff:
HVL-303 FUJI Q3 PRO HVLP SYSTEM Fuji gave a small contribution so here is what I can do.....thanks.
Retail value - $749. Your cost - $400
Shop Fox W1707 (17”) or your price $700 Sale Price$995.
W1729 (19”) Bandsaws: your price $875 Sale Price $1195.
Rikon RIK-10-345 18” Bandsaw your price $875 Sale Price $1379
Powermatic PM2800 Drill Press your price $625 Sale Price $949.
FS574258 DOMINO JOINER DF 500 Q-PLUS your price $475 - Sale price $775 * this is demo unit that hasn't been used but has been shown.
FS493301 DOMINO ASSORTMENT SYSTAINER - your price $150 - sale price $260
FS574307 DOMINO DF 500 JOINING SYSTEM New - your price $600 - $775 sale price
I know the Board approved a budget of $1,000 for this Raffle and we will still have some minor costs associated with Pay Pal, but I propose we get the Powermatic Drill Press and the Demo Domino Jointer and Assorted Domino Systainer for a total of $1,250. Talk about some great prizes!
We can sell raffle tickets at the Klingspor event (we’ll work out the details) and we can have all of the prizes there as well. Is the extra money worth it? I sure think so – if you want, I [STRIKE]can[/STRIKE] have put this info into a thread in the BoD Forum on the site so we can discuss it. I’d like to make a decision by the end of this week so I can get cracking on preparations for the process.
BTW, Nancy and I will be in Apex Wednesday through Sunday so I can be reached on my cell phone and we can meet if anyone wants to get together. I’ll have my laptop, too.
