Folks, We have a member here who most of us know. I wont mention his name, but I will say he is in this years calendar. A great young man. Not real sure of his complete plight, but during a conversation with him, after He gave me some duck feathers, I learned he was wanting to get into tying jigs, as he was saving feathers from a couple hunts. Well, it turns out, he didn't have anything to tie with. I looked around and found him a vice, and a bobbin and whip finnisher also. I got them in the mail going his way lickety split.
Now I'm working on getting some other tying material together so I can get it to him. I have way more than I'll use of some things and am going to get them to him, even though he said I did to much already. Now, this young man has had some setbacks from medical problems, and has a family, and don't think he can work yet, so I felt, Hey, I've been helped by many along the way, and am just paying it forward. I was thinking there MIGHT be others interested in helping him out. If you are let me know, and I'll get you his info. He has no idea I'm posting this, till he reads it. I just want to help him out.

You’re a good man Eric. Any of us who’ve sat around in recovery sympathizes with other s going through it. Having jigs to tie occupies the mind and gives you focus on something unrelated. The relaxing time at the bench is therapeutic. I’ll look though my stuff and see what I’ve got.

I'm sure He appreciates all who have given. Don't think he's seen this thread, or at least hasn't said anything about it. I know when he got what I sent him, Vice and a couple tools, then some materials, he thanked me profusely. Thank you to all who has donated to him.
