Box Swap (closed)

[Toni Ciuraneta]

I'm still interested but maybe we could do after the holidays. I did complete my first box though, it was a practice box for this trade, but has now became a box for my mothers schnauzer that passed a few weeks ago. will post pics of box later. Wow keeping joints tight on those is tough. Other threads on "square" lately hopefully will help with those for me.

Tom

Thanks Tom.

However after seeing that one of yours I think I will have to make another one myself if I want to keep up to your standard

 

[Toni Ciuraneta]

All right guys.

Shouldn't we agree on a clear date? I suggest January 30th.
So we all have enough time.
As I do not know how to create a poll I think that everybody will have enough time, if not please speak now or shut up for ever!

 

[Brent Dowell]

Works for me!

 

[Rennie Heuer]

Jan 30? I think I can squeeze it in.

 

[Toni Ciuraneta]

Great! We have three confirmations so far! Nobody else?....

 

[larry merlau]

ok toni by jan 30th i can have the materials ready for shipment..your a bossy fellar

 

[Toni Ciuraneta]

your a bossy fellar

Am I Larry? Don't think so, but if I had known that this thing would last until January the 30th. my box would have been better made, now I think I have to make another one to not deceive the member that will get mine.

 

[Jim Burr]

Jan 30th it is...let loose the hounds!!!

 

[Toni Ciuraneta]

Great!! already 5confirmations, keep going guys!!! Remember we must be an even number.! Well... actually not if we just pass the box to another guy...

 

[Ned Bulken]

6, unless you're counting me already... jan 29.99

You're right Ned! I forgot about you, my apologies, but this horses need some kicking and these are not dead.


Sorry guys no offence intended at all, only positive motivation!!

 

[Don Baron]

I will plan on Jan 30.

[Toni Ciuraneta]

7!!! Who else? So far we are the "Magnificent 7" will we reach "The Dirty Dozen?? or what about "The 300"??

 

[Ned Bulken]

I'd say we should limit it to about a dozen, simply from logistics. If we go with serial style A ships to B who ships to C more than that will take too long.

 

[Tom Niemi]

Or just put names in a hat and draw pairs. The pairs trade with each other

 

[Toni Ciuraneta]

I'd be happy if we reach the dozen. If we reach an even number we could also use the pairing system, as far as I know this swap is not a "take and leave" one but an exchange isn't it?

Another matter is how to make the draft, an easy way to do would be alphabetical order by the surname or ascending age (although some may not like to reveal it). Or if some software guru wants to make an aleatory draft from a virtual hat...

How about everybody ships their box on the same day.
Person 1 ships to person 2, person 2 to person 3, etc.? One big circle.
Only one person knows the order of who will ship to whom - the organizer. Everyone else gets a surprise. The organizer can PM the "shipee" to each of the "shippers" so no one knows who they're getting their box from.

Fine for me, but who will be the organizer? Ned?

I'm sure Ned can get all the names and information under one roof..... so to speak.

 

[larry merlau]

yeah butttt! we know how long it takes to build a shop in new york perhaps we shouldnt over load ned with this and let another member that has time take it on...
