First post on this site. I don’t know much about go fund me, and I’m not clicking on this link. I have no problem helping Mike directly with a donation. Go fund me takes a cut, and I would class the OP as suspicious.

There IS a GoFundMe for Mike Nickels. The actual link to it is https://www.gofundme.com/f/mike-nickels-tragic-loss-woodie-woodworking?qid=3a5ffedd0b4bd02e7dcf427e95113518 If you have questions about the fund raiser, you can reach out to the organizer, Octie Ham, who is shown on the GoFundMe page. No way of knowing, but perhaps is the the original poster. Ken

That is sad, I think it will be best to share this post on social media as well for a wider audience.

Saw the episode on "Barn Find Hunters" and was shocked! I watched the entire article and toward the end Mike was talking about some of his prized equipment that had been destroyed. One item that caught my eye was what Mike called a "panagraph carver". Just so happens I've got that exact machine in my shop and it hasn't been used in quite a long time. All of the parts for the machine are there and everything is in fine working order. I was wondering if Mike might have an interest in my machine and all the parts that go with it. I live in Oregon so it wouldn't just a state away for delivery but if he could use my machine I'd be glad to get in touch with him. Recently, I wrote to Hagerty but haven't yet received any response to my inquiry. Please let me know if Mike can use my panagraph carver. Thanks, Terry Findley

Octie Ham did originate the gofundme appeal. Terry, I'm sure that Mike would appreciate a call regarding your machine. His number is 231-947-2599.

How about either Mike's postal address or a local club address for those of us who would prefer just to send a check made out to his name?
