Do you have a Scroll Saw you are not using?

[GrayBeard]

This morning I contacted my local School District and asked if they could use my gently used Craftsman that i no longer use.
The procurement office sent a memo to each of the schools and by 11:00 a.m. I had a call from the Industrial Arts teacher at the nearby 'middle' school, he was here by 1:30 and will be back on Tuesday with a 'tax deduction' letter to pick up the saw.

My only conditions for the 'donation' were that I be allowed to visit the class on occasion and that they send me pictures of the saw being used by the class members and pictures of their finished projects.

An unused saw becomes a "Win-Win" for all concerned!

FD Mike...I also gave him one of your brochures so you may be getting orders for blades from the Francis Howell School District in St. Peters, Missouri!!!!

That should make it a "Win-Win-Win" all around>

Super GB. Sure the kids will have a lot of fun and know you will get enjoyment out the fact that the saw is put to good use. Way to go mate.

Great idea GB!  If you get any pictures, by all means show us!

That was a great gesture Gray Beard I hope the student appreciate it, our club uses the high school's work shop for demos and the like and the  state of the tools is appalling even the work benches are cut to pieces with chisels, some photos would be good to see

Nice gesture, GB.  Most schools are so strapped for funds, a gift like yours can make a huge difference.  Did they even have a scroll saw before now or is this going to be a new introduction to the kids there?  You could be creating new addicts!     LOL, the shop teacher could be on youtube right now watching Steve's videos!
