Great!
Turning is an obsession, so the "Pass It Forward" game is a novel idea! To exchange wood across the country is an interesting concept! Please add me to the list!

My last post on Box#2 Her is the shop cat aka Momma Kitty. It's been raining off and on today and she decided to hang out in the shop so no shop for now. If I start the lathe or some other tool she will bolt out the cat door and run right into the dogs. The dogs like cat as sleep with her kids but if she runs they chase. Once the got to smell her they leaver her alone but she doesn't trust us or them that well

Pass The Box #2
OK...So this is more fun than I expected. The package arrived Saturday and was almost bursting at the seams! I selected these items from the box and replaced them with new stuff I cannot fit them all in the box and will send them in the mailer.
This has been fun!!! Thanks[

Would love to get in on one of these boxes.
Is there a list to sign up for the future?

You had the same trouble I did trying to cram the new stuff in. It was fun and I was worried about the envelope bursting and debated about sending an extra envelope so I just took more of the stuff Edgar sent out and made room for my stuff. I made a suggestion to Edgar and adding a new twist to the next game. This did give a boost to my pen turning and got me back out in the shop

Mailed Box #2 Tracking # 13110670000025135551
I taped the mailer to help keep it from tearing. It is stuffed, so the next couple of people have to take out more stuff or switch to a MFRB. :biggrin:
I did not receive a cat nor did I send one, although I did consider it for a moment!
Have fun!

You are just killing Box 1 starting the third leg and it is a short one. Winfield, PA to Cranberry Township, PA it could make it tomorrow!!! Box 1 may or may not make it today for it's second leg still up in the air.

Drats! I have to work tomorrow and will not be able to to stand vigil all day at my mailbox waiting for Box 2 to arrive. I've found that it usually takes 2-3 days anyway for priority mail to arrive even just from the other side of the state.
Karl, I'm very glad you resisted the temptation to include a cat in the box.

The more that I watch this box moving.......the more I think I won't see it till JUNE. By the time it gets here it should be really packed full.
I did pick up some sood this last weekend while on the road. It is a lot of fun to show up at someones shop and visit for an hour. I took him some wood I have from tress I recieved last summer/fall from the tree trimers. He gave me wood that he said was to soft for him to turn.
My plans are to make him a pen out of the wood I recieved. Also, going to save a piece for the box when it gets here. Right this second, I have 4 items ready to trade into the box. Need to see what else I find in the next month.

Just a heads up.....the box is coming to me soon. I will be away a couple of days, so if it sits a day or two, you guys know why. I am looking forward to seeing what all is in it. Thanks for everyones help in getting this thing going.

Could you perhaps be going to MAPG. Looks like box 1 may get to me while I am there.

The box arrived today with lots of exciting goodies inside. I've taken what I wanted and filled it back up. It's definitely outgrown the original small flat rate box and now also requires a small flat rate envelope. By the time this thing runs the full course, the box will need freight delivery. I mailed it off to Scotty today.

Wow Leslie! Way to go!
A 3-hour turnaround from the time you got the package until it's on the way to the next player.
I might just have to offer a prize to the person with the fastest turnaround.
You've set a high bar for sure. :biggrin:

i didn't get pics yet, but I will. I took a couple of blanks and a key chain kit. There was a very nice mini pine cone blank in there. Looking forward to using it. I put in some pendant blanks and pen blanks.

Geez I feel bad for not getting in after seeing no one from Michigan got in. Will be looking forward to the next go around.

Both boxes are on the move again and both are headed from Virginia to Washington state. Box 2 is going from Blacksburg, VA to Lacey, WA. Box one is going from Sterling VA to Spokane WA. Both boxes are on the 5th leg.
There are 3 players from Michigan in the Box #1 group though.
I'll add you to the list for a possible box #3. Watch for an announcement within the week.

I is on its'e way to me in Washington! Woot!
Apparently the "box" has outgrown the Small Flat Rate Size and now is in a Priority Envelope. Should we switch to a MFRB?

I'd prefer to stay with an SFRB or envelope. The idea is to focus on quality rather than quantity.
An SFRB fits into a priority envelope with room to cram a few extra blanks or items around the box if you wish, but it's not required. Putting the box inside an envelope also saves 20¢ on postage. It's one of the few times that I feel like I'm putting something over on the government.

It is in a priority envelope because of the postal clerk I dealt with. She didn't seem to know what a small flat rate envelope was and I didn't want to hold up shipping it out any longer. It hasn't outgrown it. I just chose to pay the extra to get it back on the road.
