From Arthur: "Anyone near Glasgow have a scroll saw they would like to trade to an old craftsman jointer no motor but its belt driven has pulley on it. It was made back when they were very good tools this is sears and roebuck ."
Anyone interested in starting a fund or just donating to Arthur so he can buy a scroll saw? A hand full of contributors would be enough to purchase a decent saw.

Does anyone know the latest update on fundraising for Arthur and his shop re-build?
The latest from Arthur. I have not received any pictures yet.
"I’m not back in business yet building banjos, but I am working on the inside of my shop work banshees and so forth and getting in some tools maybe in about another month if I can remember, I will try to take a few pictures tomorrow of the inside and send them to you."
Best regards charlie

I should have asked, is the Go Fund Me Site for Arthur still open?
Yes, here is the link and donations go straight to Arthur.

I am medical issues and have not spoken with Arthur in a while. This was our last communication.

Arthur update today.
"I’m sorry I just now went and took some pictures. I forgot all about it.
I’ve been so busy trying to make phone calls and order things and just so many little things to do you don’t think about till you’re ready for him this little thing such a spikes didn’t have any down to utility knife blades to razor blades.
Seems when you’re trying to get back to work all you think about is a big items and are still all kinds of small things that you can’t do without.
I even have to get two or three things made by a tool maker that I can’t make myself."
If the photos of the shop don't post message me.

Thank You Charlie
I hope you feel better .
Thanks for your support. The shop looks wonderful maybe better than before. Although, I never have visited Arthur before.
Anyone that wants to see the pictures from Arthur can email me at:

I was so sorry to hear about this. Mr. Hatfield made me a bridge over 20 years ago. It’s a treasure to me. I sure hope he gets everything going again.

Good to hear. As to the shop looking better than before, well... suffice to say that this is Arthur we're talking about. I have little doubt that it will be coated in shavings, sawdust, odd cultch and Burton Ridge Road magic dust in relatively short order. 
Does anyone know if he's putting in any fire suppression time around or perhaps a good dust collector? I'm not a wood shop expert, but the volatility of the sawdust and various glues and such must be some sort of hazard.
