HOLD YOUR DONATIONS UNTIL THE PARTY STARTS IN JANUARY!!!

What do YOU want to win???

Hey all! You know it's coming... we've been here for 4 great years and it'll be time to celebrate in January. Every year we have a "donation drawing" - Everyone who makes a donation of at least $25 during the month is entered in a drawing for some great penturning prizes.

The prizes we awarded LAST YEAR are in the quote box below.

What would YOU like to win this year? Post your ideas!
(I know you'd like "eternal life" or 10 tons of Sindora Burl, but please keep it realistic!)

THESE ARE LAST YEAR'S PRIZES FOR REFERENCE ONLY!!!

THESE ARE NOT THE PRIZES FOR THIS YEAR'S PARTY!!!

Here are the prizes from the 2007 Bash

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

I may only be speaking for myself, but I think it would be really nice to win a "grab bag" of pen kits. Not slimlines, though. I envision Cigars, Sierras, Barons, Gents, Jr. Gents, Statesman, Jr. Statesman, Churchill, Majestic, Jr. Majestic, things like that. Wouldn't it be cool to open a box and have, say, 10 varied kits from that group to play with??? Or 5, for that matter!
 
I asked a while back to get some information about the birthday bash. Did I miss the response? What is it- other than gifts as above. How does it run?

Is there a link somewhere?
 
The birthday bash is a celebration that the I.A.P. has survived one more year with nobody doing anyone else in.
O.K just kidding but it did manage to hang around for one more year. there are prizes, contests, quizzes, trading pens, general mayhem on a grander scale than there is every day,and of course it is the I.A.P's birthday so it is considerate to give it a gift. namely a donation to help it reach it's next birthday.

As for the prize I want, it's a hard choice between the jet and the Beall but since I do have a lathe I gotta go with the Beall.

Sorry Daniel the Beall collet as been taken [:D][:D] [;)]
 
I'll second AND third the wet sharpening systems like the Tormek or Jet.

Things I don't have yet come to mind more like... a nice blank drilling vise, assembly press, patience, the wolverine system, some of those mandreless bushing sets, more patience... I could keep going [:D]

How's about other normal supplies like package deals of several different CA's, sand papers, micromesh and the such. I have already learned how fast the sand paper can go.

Really anything would be nice. Didn't realize how many tools I wanted until I bought this dadgum lathe!!!

Oh! Don't forget the bandsaw, belt sander and patience!
