So a fellow forum member suggested I put up a project needs list here and see what I might get from the forum members. So I am anxious to see if it might work. I know many of the items I will have to purchase, but it never hurts to ask. I have plans to hing I need, but any help I get means more money for more stuff later. Ultimately more things for the students to see and experience. Also realize that I spend about 2 hours a week contacting companies, vendors and individuals asking for help. So far it has paid off with help from MORE, Propowder Coating in Grand Junction, ARB/OME, JB Fab, to name a few...
