Free Hot Box / Wood Drying Box for Pick Up In Illinois

[Gunney]

All,

      Just got a job offer and will be moving to Texas. I just won't have room for this hotbox. It is big and heavy (I'd say it is around 8 feet long). My buddy and I used the plans from a Primitive Archer I believe. He was a professional shipping box builder. The pics are about 4 years old, but the condition is about the same.Just a little less shiney from two moves across country. With that said, if you come and get it, it is yours. I live in Southern Illinois (Xenia 62899).

I would really like to see someone use it. Shoot me an email and I can work out a time to be here. I can't deliver it, I already sold my truck too. Here are some pics.

First serious email gets it.

Sent you an e-mail, Billy

[Gunney]

Daryl,

          Nothing on my end yet!

[Hawkeye]

Should be there now.  You notice my reply was only 7 minutes after you posted it?  That's really something, since it probably took me 3 of those minutes to type it!!

My timing is usually not so good!

[Gunney]

All,

           Hawkeye got the box, and Buckhammer is the runner up if Hawkeye doesn't take it.

Thanks all.

[Hawkeye]

Thank you very, very much!  

It will be a great reminder of you, and I'll try to "do it proud" by building a few bows that don't even break!  (May take a while...)

I get with you about the arrangements.

Thanks again,

Daryl

Daryl,

        Your certainly welcome. I hope you get some great use out of it. I'll pull it out this week. I want to replace the cord and test it anyway.

Now Dean will have to come to your place and give you some one on one instructions.

[Hawkeye]

Billy,

I'm hoping to build 10-12 wood bows over the next year, have 2 or 3 of them that actually survive through tillering, and one top-of-the-heap specimen thst would get at least a D- grade from Dean.  It's not likely, but that's my goal!

If only I could talk him out of a bow to use as a pattern model...

I know I couldn't afford the "fee" to get him here as a tutor, but it would be great if we could at least get him (and you!) here for a squirrel hunt.  What do ya say?    

[Kevin Bahr]

Dang Gunney.  Here I haven't even seen you and now you're moving to Texas.  
Good luck to you and the Mrs.
