Got my PayPal working for both USA and Japan side. Support payment sent.

Fellows, Ladies, I know that many supported Sam and Adele recently in their car crunch and Adele's emergencies and that has been greatly appreciated.

AND Now For those that can, It would be appreciated if you can help keep this forum going in the manner it has for the last 5 years. I think there will be great things in store for this community this year.

Thanks for your help.

Check your snail mail, Sam.

Wow. That was easy. Now that I have a Paypal account a contribution to my most favorite site on the net has been accomplished. I have learned so much from everyone on this site - it is time for payback.

It keeps going and going and going.......... heck it's almost the energizer bunny

Last year I sent $100. Last year I was employed. I realize that this forum doesn't have the volume of members that some others do, but I also realize that the operating cost don't go down because of that fact.

So... this year I am sending $50 up-front but with a "wild card" up my sleeve. Here's the deal if anyone is interested.....

Lie-Neilson Dovetail saw which retails for $125 plus shipping could be yours for the mere sum of $50 plus $10 shipping to anywhere in the U.S.A. (sorry Lee and Rod) for a grand total of $60. When I recieve payment to money will be forwarded to Sam Condor to supplement the fund raiser. Scouts honor!

The DT saw is new... never been used and has no rust as of the last time I opened the box. A prize indeed for those that do DT's. I was saving it for retirement to replace my current DT saw that has been in use for years.

But... I got hooked on that current saw by a a gentleman named James Kresnov quite a while back and it isn't ready to be retired as it has seen many battles and triumphed in every one. Why put an old friend out to pasture when they still want to work and have the ability to do so?

If no one is interested... I can easily sell the saw on another forum for $80 and will do so if necessary. At that time I will forward the 2nd portion of my payment as out-lined above.

PM if interested as I will be upstairs on coffee breaks and in the shop until around 11 PM. In other words I check messages about every 2-3 hours. So Sam.. first checks in the mail as I don't do Paypal.. Hmmmm... that's the 13th time I have told someone that just this morning. Well.. I always say that 13 is a lucky number so..... ha..ha... ha..ha..ha..

Ya'll have a good day.....
