Lathe Donations Needed
If you have been a GAW member since before Covid, you probably know GAW has operated for many years using lathes that were loaned to us by the hosts of our monthly members’ meetings. However, we now find ourselves in a position where our new host will not have a lathe available for us to use and we will need to provide a lathe for our meeting demonstrations.
We (the GAW Board) have been able to negotiate a significant discount and have voted to purchase a Powermatic 3520C. As you can imagine, such a purchase will reduce the club’s financial position significantly. Therefore, we are soliciting donations to help cover this expense. A donation would be greatly appreciated and any amount will help cover this critical investment in the club’s future. No amount is too small!!
