This is a little attempt at something new.
Given pledge drives can be a little slow and only really target certain members I thought I’d try and raffle one of the pieces I’ve been working on this last week.
All contributions will go to a SLMS Paypal Pool fo be invested in new equipment for the space, first purchase will be the kit for stabilising wood, i.e. resin, a toaster oven and some dyes.
Stabilising Resin - for stabilising wood giving it vastly increased strength and functionality, enabling the fabrication of wooden guitar tuning pegs, vapes, interesting pieces for turning or general making as can use any interesting otherwise too gnarled or knotted pieces. Especially interesting when combined with resin dyes. See link below for some examples of the piecs you can create:

The was I see this working is any interested party contributes x amount ( reccomended minimum contribution £1) which would get you a single or multiple tickets, £1 would equate to one ticket, £10 ten tickets etc. No maximum contribution.
The winner would then be announced in 3 weeks or when a certain target has been hit or activity dwindles.
The winner gets the item, in this case a wenge x oak yin yang plate, raised funds published and a purchase / multiple purchased made and items are donated to the space.
It would be great if people could share this page across social media etc to maximise viewing and hopefully funds raised for all of our benefit.
If all goes well every member is a winner and one lucky person will get a pretty plate.
