Mission Backpack MS460 joat/Brad/Terry project

[joatmon]

This is the new thread about the joint project between Brad Snelling, Terry Landrum and Jack Morrow (joat) to raise interest for the October 1st GTG and to raise money for Mission Backpack.

Mission Backpack is a ministry that two of my friends co-manage at my church. Details are here:
http://www.firstbaptistgreenville.co... Now1101.pdf

In a nutshell, this mission recognizes that free/reduced fee meals program for school children has a serious hole, the weekends. This ministry attempts to fill the weekend void by sending food home with the student.

1) joat has donated the money for Brad to buy a new MS460 at his dealer.
2) Brad Snelling has generously agreed to port the saw.
3) The saw will participate in the October 1st MS460 build off GTG.
4) A drawing will be held at the GTG to determine to new owner.
5) Terry Landrum will handle the donations, $10 increments, for the drawings, details follow.
6) The saw will be shipped to the drawing winner after build off GTG.
7) All bid proceeds will be donated to Mission Backpack as described above.

You may enter the drawing by PayPal to:

Here's the saw. This is the first time it was ever started. I had to adjust the idle speed and L needle. It runs very nicely now. I might be able to get it in wood later this afternoon. If I do, I'll video it.

I sure hope so. I haven't been to a GTG in a good while now. This would be an great one to attend. After next week, I won't be traveling for work anymore and will be home ever night. That will make something like going to a GTG much easier.

Sorry guys, but no wood cutting vids today. I've spend several hours in the yard, and it's just too hot and humid. Call me a wuss if you want tooo:msp_tongue:
