some of you have already read the thread where Mark is selling his monster lathe over in the classifieds. but i know that there are a lot of you out there who only read this section of the site. so. here my idea of what we could do to help Mark save his beast.
if anyone has anyother ideas, feel free to add them
we could ship it around the counrty. it would stopp at different turners houses around the country. put the lathe on a trailer. then drive it to the closest turner near you. they pay say,,$20? to turn as much as they want on it, up to like a week or two. then that person drives it to the next nearest person. then there will be no shipping charge other than the trailer to start. since each person would transport the trailer every one would pay for their own gas.
the money would go to Mark to pay for the lathe, and it could be payed ahead of time so that he would have to money now instead of spread out.
then after it has made its trip around the country, and been signed by all the SMC turners that want to, it would be returned to its home in "Gods country: Mariposa CA" for mark to use. then he will get the money he needs and wont have to truely part with his beast.
