Is there a PP set up for this drive?

As many of you guys probably already know......one of our local loggers was badly injured in the woods a few months ago. We figured we could help the guy out by offering a few saws to raffle off. Well.......I'm gonna be honest and throw the cards on the table here. So far the total in donations on this drawing don't even begin to cover the value of the saws. :(

We are gonna try again. The folks that have donated to this cause so far will have their donation amount doubled to double their odds of winning. The reason for doubling the previous donators chances is that we are changing the drawing date to coincide with the West KY GTG. I figure that would be more than fair to those guys.

Just to be clear.........If You Donated Before This Thread Was Posted You Will Have Your Raffle Tickets Doubled!!!!!

Now before anyone starts thinking that 'Ol Randy has stepped in here and is stomping on toes with my ideas......rest assured that I've spoken with Terry, Woodchuck'r, and Wiggs. The facts are that all we want is to raffle off some saw and get the most help for Mitch that we can by doing so.

The first prize is a nearly new Husqvarna 562XP Those was donated by an anonymous member.

The new owner can decide whether or not he or she would like this saw stock or modded. I would be the guy doing the mods BTW.

The second prize is a very nice Husqvarna Closed Port 55. Wigglesworth has donated this saw and offered to port it or leave it stock......the new owner decides. Wiggs would be doing the mods on this one.

I'll have to get Jer to post up a pic of this saw.

Third is a Minty J'red 490 that WoodChuck'r has donated to the cause. He asked me if I would be willing to port this saw if the new owner desired and of course I agreed. Again......that's up to the winner of the saw.

We need Chuck'r to send a pic of this one as well.

And last is a Partner S65 that I built for the 4 cube event at the TN GTG. It didn't win but has cut sub 3 second times in 10X10 cants......a strong running cookie cutter for sure.

Here it is pulling a 9 pin rim in pine......

Terry will be extending the date on the WePay so it will run until October 26, with the drawing to be held on October 27 during the GTG.

Just click on the "Donation Link" above....

PayPal will not let us run a raffle........WePay doesn't care.......long as they get 3.5%. :D
 
Randy,
I'll be happy to kick in some more money on this deal, I already know that I'm not gonna win a single thing (99% sure), but in the past I've still come out way ahead on these deals. I won an eBay auction where the money went to Stumpy, but somehow my saw eneded up in TN first:msp_sneaky: for a makeover before coming to CA. Then I bought a saw off of the classifieds that Jeremy had up, to raise some funds, and once again my saw ended up making a stop in TN to get purtied up. Not only did I end up with a couple of MasterEmubes saws, but through threads of this type I have made more friends here on AS, and seen some acts of unbelievable giving, and to be affected by the generosity of others is truly a great blessing.

There's a whole mess of folks on here that make these acts of kindness possible, and I wish, and pray for Mitch's full recovery from his injuries.

I know that there was a lot of contention at the beginning of this thread, but the positive far exceeds the negative, once again.
 
Happy to help.

I (GASP) sold a saw last week. Once the money gets to me, expect some more to head Mitch's way.

Thanks for the rep. I will be back after work with the rep cannon loaded. Tapatalk needs a rep button!
