    Thank you for your response and interest in supporting the East Coast Wounded Warrior Battalion. Are you a carver? Woodturner? Are you a member of a woodworking club? I am one member of the San Diego Woodturners who have taken on support of the Wounded Warriors at Camp Pendelton, Balboa Hospital and the San Diego VA. We are almost 200 members strong though only two of us have CarveWright CNC machines. Our members spend two days a week at each of these facilities teaching the WW how to turn wood. We have provided from 4 to 8 lathes at each facility. There are also sit-down lathes at each location for those who can no longer stand. We start by teaching them to turn pens then advance then to platters and bowls and eventually to turn the platters from the CNC carved blanks. We have fund raisers to support the program, for example we are currently selling member and WW turned pens, $20 donation and member turned tops, some CNC carved, donation $5 at the San Diego county fair. Our members have turned hundreds no thousands of tops. It is a big expensive effort and unless you have interest and support from more than just yourself I would not recommend you start the program. tops10.mpc

    Thanks for the response. I have been known to carve a little. not a member of anything. just myself. guess I will hold off.

    I appreciate all that jack. My plate is overly full right now as I start my own business and finish my military career. With 16 months left. Maybe when I officially retire I can make the time, and should, to do this.
