    Antique Tool Calendar

    Many of our new members may have missed the web page we setup with pictures of antique tools. If you are interested here is the link;

    http://www.sawmillcreek.org/tools/

    The original images were published in the Manufacturer and Builder newspaper published in the mid to late 1800's. I have enough pictures to put together a SawMill Creek calendar for 2004, with high resolution pictures of these beautiful antique tools and our logo. The web page above has pictures of woodworking and metalworking tools, I would only use pictures and descriptive text of woodworking tools for the SawMill Creek calendar.

    I contacted a local company today and the price per calendar would be about 20 dollars (plus S&H) if anyone is interested. If we ordered in quantity the price would go down, I won't know how much until Monday. Even if there are just a few people interested we can still have these calendars made. All calendars would have to be prepaid before we order.

    Let me know if you would be interested in one of these calendars but please don't respond unless you are serious. I will put together a sample picture this weekend and post it here for all to view. These would make a nice Christmas gift and this could be volume one of a collectors series in the years to come

    Calendar Pic

    Here is the picture I will use as a sample Monday when I visit Kinko's. I'm sure they will have their own calendar section but this is the look I hope to end up with.

    Keith,

    Just one question. Does that $20 include "a little something for yourself"? You guys put plenty of time and effort into this place, and if you're selling items like the calendar, you certainly deserve a little return on investment....

    I have to ask my financial secretary (LOML) if I'm interested in this, but will let you know.

    Antique Tool Calendar

    Jason,

    Nope, the price I got from Kinko's was $19.95 each, there would be a price break if we order a couple hundred. I will only add the shipping costs, the calendar is a non-profit deal.

    Lloyd,

    I'm not sure about the size, I should have all the final details Monday, I also prefer the large calendars for notes. I kept the tool picture clutter free so they could be framed, they are about a half meg each so the quality should be excellent.
