Pass around box

[DiscoDan]

The last pass around box thread was closed so hopefully this is OK. When I heard the other day how many members we are up to I thought to myself "Self, why can't we get enough members to participate in the pass around box?" I was really looking forward to participating for the first time and then it died.

Any chance we could try and start it up again?

I am game.
Last I heard there was a couple of members working on building a new box to restart the pass around.

What is a 'pass around box'?

Probably similar to my model airplane friends, where we send parts and pieces free of charge to help a fellow member out.

There’s a sign up sheet once enough members are signed up their is a box the size about 14x11x4 a large flat rate box passed around with tooling from members. You take what you put in value wise. Cost you shipment to the next members address which is like 15 bucks. I thought it was really cool and participated and wish it came back around.i loved to see the mail person deliver it it was like a 50# box.

We should have started this before I went to build my new shop. How many red iron I beams can you fit in a flat rate box?

Hey, I haven't participated in the past but now that I've been doing this a couple of years now I've got en a lot more tools and some I don't use anymore so I'd be glad to pass some on, if that's the kind of thing that your looking for.

 

[Dhal22]

The needs are posted on a list? As well as the extra tools you have?
