Super Bowl Blanks....

[Sataro]

Some have asked to see a picture of my final count on blanks...

40 members contributed to make this blank collection...
Thanks to all who have contributed. I really appreciate the generosity that these members have shown! Each member was supposed to have sent 4 or 5 blanks... That means out of 40 members, I should have received between 160-200 blanks.

The grand total came out to 483 blanks & 8 pen kits.

Brownsfn2 went wild with his blanks. He sent me a medium size box. Did not think I would ever get through digging those blanks out of the box. When the box was finally empty, I had pulled 95 blanks out of the box.

Thanks to all for the wonderful blanks that have been sent to me. I will be enjoying these for a long time to come!

Just goes to prove, we have some of the most generous members anyone could ever ask for, anywhere, and Ron (Brownsfn2) is in a league of his own.
Billy, I doubt you'll be buying any blanks .. ever again! I think you have more than my local Woodcraft store, maybe CSUSA too ~
Cheers

P.S.
I'm kind of afraid to ask, but I know everyone is wondering the same thing, what is that one in the middle that looks like a donut - at least that's what I hope it is.

 

[Edward Cypher]

That's a great selection of blanks. How will you ever decide which blank to use?

And here I was expecting to see a bunch of bandsaw cut rounds, 10-14 inches across, 4-5 inches thick, wild grain, spalted... What do I get? A table full of little pieces of wood... :biggrin: :tongue: :biggrin:

Congrats! Nice haul, and I think I see the stuff I sent you in your pic.

Looks like someone even sent you a donut!

LoL...my wife talks about that donut every time she walks by & sees it. She doesn't think it looks like a donut though...

I just realized that you could run the cursor over the picture and get an enlarged view... quite a view too...

My question is, when are you going to mess up that shop... it looks entirely too clean. Even looks like carpet on the floor??

Even with DC & Fans going, Sweeping and Vacuuming every day and occasionally taking the blower off the shop vac to everything in the shop,
I still have a layer of dust on everything in the shop... it's at your own risk to pull a board down off the racks in the ceiling. Like the old song.... "dust gets in your eyes"
