It's time for another Donation Drawing!

UPDATE: All the blanks for the Mugs-O-Blanks are spoken for now. You can still get a mug if you wish for your $50 donation. I expect to begin shipping the mugs next week.

This isn't a contest, and it isn't a raffle. It's simple!

During the month of January, every donation of $25 or more puts your name in a drawing for one of (at this moment) five prizes. More prizes may be added during the month.

A larger donation does not increase your chance of winning, however, if you donate $50 or more, I'll also send you a Mug-O-Blanks

Here are the donation drawing prizes:

1st: Jet Variable Speed Mini Lathe ($340 value)

2nd: Beall Collet Chuck, 2 collets, a live center, and 2 mandrel rods ($140 value)

I just added something to the prize pool that many of you may not have heard about or seen yet. It's a great DVD!

Right now we have 72 entrants in the Donation Drawing. Still pretty good odds! I have at least one more prize to add also.

Final comments on the Donation Drawing:

We've got 22 prizes worth a total of $2045. There are approximately 80 donations so far, giving pretty darn good odds!

The cutoff for getting your donation in to be eligible for the drawing is midnight US Eastern time tomorrow, Wednesday Jan 31, 2007.

I will draw the names Thursday evening and announce the winners On Friday at the latest. I'll then ask for the winners' shipping addresses and we'll start the process of getting the prizes out. I have a lot of them in my possession, but some will be shipped from the vendors. For those getting coffee mugs, I have not started shipping those yet. My goal is to have every prize and every mug delivered by Feb 23.

Just a reminder... I'm out of blanks to go with the mugs, so any more $50 donators will get just the mug.

Good luck everyone, and again, many thanks for your support.
