Hello, It's been a while since I've visited here, as I've had a busy year (plus) devoting time to caring for my parents and moving two households into one.  I hope you get out of the hole and back on your feet soon.  It's scary just how fragile our life styles are, as not many of us would survive more than a few months without a steady income.  I don't use bedrock planes, but I can help out a bit, as I have a roof over my head and my belly is full tonight.

Count me in for $50. and if you have a moment please check out my blog on Custom Canes for Wounded Veterans: http://www.thepatriotwoodworker.com/forum/topics/custom-canes-for-w...

I wish I could help.  I am on disability. I will say I am very proud to be part of this community to see how it reaches out to take of it's own. Maybe next time I can be part of the helping.

[John Morris]

Nicely done sir, nicely done! The only problem with that Arlin, is I wanted that Bedrock!!! Thank you for helping out Arlin, that was very kind of you.

I just bought his Bedrock for $500 with $250 down.

John, I think it was the way I was raised, to help your fellow man.  I have been there and lived it, most likely will again I just don't want anyone else to ever have to be in that place. this is just who I am, I am nothing special. I just try to help where I can.

What part of Florida you in? then I'll give my bid... and then You Sir, Never give a Bottom Quota....... you sure you wanna give up your Honey?

never heard what branch you served?

[Robert Bocik]

St Petersburg. Quota? Let me clarify the $15.75 is for shipping paid to me via PP. Wish I could cover it but I just cant this time. I literally have tons of IRW. I did not serve (father and grandfather WWI and WWII Marines) but I can help those that have/are. Some more pics of what we have available for this auction. This is for one large flat rate box of winners choice shipping not included in winning bid.

Hey Robert, for posting pics click on that little icon to the right of "LINK" as you create your discussion or reply, and you can then navigate to the photos on your PC or you can post images by url or image location. Right now your attaching a file that is why they are not showing up.

You have some beautiful lumber Robert!!!!

And you have quite a military history in your family. About 15 precent of the members on this site are vets and active, and the balance have served in their hearts and one thing everyone has in common, we all support our troops. Thanks for your membership Robert, and it's nice to have ya here and participating.

Robert,

That is some very fine looking wood shown.. I keep coming back to look at the stuff LOL

I've got family in St. Pete and try to make it down at least once a year or every other around October time. (didn't make it last fall so I am do this time around)

 

I asked "Quota" because I was interested in the entire blocks of wood if for sale. It would make a couple of very pretty display cases I build.  like this Hickory display shown.
