Old Tools

[David Ludington]

I hope this is the correct place to post this....

Recently, I have become aware of an orphanage in Honduras where the young boys (ages 6 to 18) are taught skills they can use in life after they leave and go out on their own. One of these skills is wood working and carving.
Currently, they share one 2" chisel between them to relief carve with. If anyone seeing this may have an old spoke shave, scoop gouge, chisel set, hand drill (preferably old school non electric) or carving knife they would like to donate please contact me in the message section. I would like to get two of each of the above.
Thank you so much for reading this and I shall be eternally grateful if you can assist with this project.

The mission trip is scheduled to head down there in January..forgot to post that in my original posting.

Dave - I will look through my tools and donate what I can. I appreciate you posting this for a good cause. Pat

Pat,

At first I was hesitant to post this..but I am so glad I have. The response from the carving community has been more than I could hope for and it is heart warming to see that once again it is hunters, carvers and collectors that step up when the call goes out.
I want to thank everyone who has responded to this. You are all what we should strive to be in this life. God Bless each and every one of you!
Still needed two used carving knives and a used scoop gouge (any size would be greatly appreciated).

Pat,

Thank you so very much. I want to say thank you to everyone that have helped with this project. The tools that are being sent will give hope to those who may not have known hope...skills to last a life time...and those are powerful things.
Again thank you to everyone and God Bless.

I have a Stanley spokeshave that I never use that I'd send if you can use it and I have time to get it to you? Not sure of the model ......if it matters I can get it for you later tonight when I return home. Let me know and I can get it boxed and shipped tomorrow or the 24th.
