That is what friends are for and seeing I don't have many good ones I do all I can for the ones I do have!!! Also Terry it looks like I will be making a trip to Sandusky for the metal for this stove. So let me know if you need anything or if you want to go with me.

Here is a rare pic of Stump running a stihl. Edit: I had to really push to get him to wear that hat for the pic.

Get specific with the tool list
Stumpy, I know in a previous thread that you mentioned that many of your tools survived and you would like to be able to select what you need to acquire. Well, why don't you make up a specific list if what you still need and I will see if I have some of it. I have a very large inventory of used tools. Everything from Taiwan stuff to top quality USA made items. Mostly hand tools but some power tools as well. So if you send me a list of what you need, I will go through my collection and see if I can fill any gaps. Be specific, for instance don't say Channellocks but rather 420 Channellocks, etc. Or if brand isn't critical, a detailed description of the items.
Also, if there are larger items, it may not hurt to post those as well on this site. A lot of criss-crossing of the country will be done soon for Christmas travel so if some members have surplus items, they may be able to help out.

What is the plan for the future of the shop?
Has there been any determination made as to what extent insurance will be involved in this situation?
Have adjusters finished examining the wreckage?
Is Stumpy going to need physical help to sort through this mess and get it cleaned up?
A dump trailer to put scrap metal in would be handy. Wood debris can be piled and burned, aluminum can be cleaned and sorted and put in some bins, copper can be separated out.
Scrap prices are high now with steel/tin about 12 cents a pound, aluminum around .60 or more and copper $2.00 plus depending on grade. So some cash could be recovered from the cleanup process.
Does a Stumpy clean-up GTG need to be put together by those in the region?
What about plans for rebuilding? What type of building, pole barn, steel frame? Maybe something could be organized for this as well. I am sure there are a lot of construction skills on the site.

I bet these guys could have a building up in 3 weekends? Sorry I am so far away. Still no hits on the saws I put on CL.At 50 bucks each I thought they would sell?Good running saws to? May lower the price to see what happens? I sent a few bucks hope to get some more to help out.A little hard when I can't work? LOL

New INFO!!!!! Listen Up!!!!!!
A GTG sounds Awesome,,,
OK Guys and Gals,,,
Here is the deal,,, While driving to work I had a spiritual conversation With My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,,,,, And in my prayers I asked him to give me an idea of how I could help the most,,,,
I just got off the Phone with Eric Copsey,,
we have struck a deal for another Raffle saw fund raiser,,, I will be donating the saw and any new parts needed,,,
Eric will be doing the build,,,
Here are the particulars,,, (If I'm posting this in the wrong place let me know Im sure the Mods can move it,,)
While I was Driving and reflecting on my many blessings (for 4 hrs LOL!!!). I remembered reading all the great things that others here on AS are doing to help a brother when he is down and out but cant see the forest for the trees and stihl in shock,,,, I am a very blessed person,, we all are,,, sometimes it takes a bit of ciphering and soul searching to be able to understand how the bad stuff that happens to us just makes us tougher,,, and is just part of Life,,, How many times did Jesus fall down and he just kept getting back up,,, For you and me!!! OK enough of that,,, But I had to do it,,,
The saw is a very lightly used Makita 6401 that I picked up from HD rental center (see paragraph below),, anyway, I am just arrived @ my S. Tx work location in Matagorda County Latitude 28.9° , and the saw is 198 miles back NE of me in Orange County so I cant post any picks but I assure everyone for an ex rental saw it is very nice,, will post up pics when I get home,,, and Im sure Eric will put some of the build pics up once he gets started
here is the rest,,,
I bought the saw right after I met Tlandrum, stumpy, Eric, Grandpatractor, Wendell,,,,,,, and a many other fine AS Folks @ The 372 build off In TN,,well while there I was able to run Wendell's and grandpatractors EC modded 7900's!!!!!! it really got me fired up,,, So,,,, then I purchased a Dolmar 7900 OEM P/C From Cuttin Scott!!!!!! with the intention of doing the mods myself,,,Well with all the tree work I have right now besides my regular Inspection work I dont have time and its just collecting dust,, and besides I do good just to fix the stuff I have too to keep two tree removal & stumpgringing crews in saws (mostly Stihl 90%) when I get home on the weekend,,, (BTW) Im starting to put a few huskies in their hands and so far they like them.....
So the raffle saw will be PHO EC'd work saw DOLKITA 7900,,,
What do yall think???? I think some lucky person is going to win a real Rocket of a saw !!!!!!!
and of course all the proceeds to go to stumpy's new shop or kids clothes or groceries christmas toys or whatever,,,
Merry CHRISTmas!!!!!
