Good question, but firstly… congratulations Steve on providing an invaluable resource that has helped the beginner, the hobbyist and pro cutters in connecting and sharing resources to bring lathe cutting and general disc cutting to where it is today! A big 10/10 for that.

[SueDenim]

Congrats to all and particularly Steve - you're a legend!

Amazing work and the most invaluable resource around. The past 10 years have been much easier for us having Lathe Trolls to fall back on for support and info. Thanks Steve!

The 2025 sponsors so far, as of this minute, have been updated on the "Our Sponsors" page.

Thanks for all who have contributed so far! It truly helps, though we still have a long way to go towards meeting our 2025 fundraising goal. Remember, even smaller contributions do add up. I'd rather have all member here contribute a little than having a few pull all of the weight.

Here is this year's fundraising letter:

Monthly donation set up now, thanks Steve!

[Steve E.]

Sponsors re-updated! Thanks to all so far! it means a lot, and it helps a ton.

[Steve E.]

Thanks to our 2025 Sponsors-so-far! I believe our wall of thanks has been updated fully, as of 30 minutes ago. Please check and make sure you've been listed correctly. Your contributions are very much the reason this site can continue to exist.

Our 20th anniversary fundraiser is underway. If you missed the prior letter, a version of it is linked here: https://www.lathetrolls.com/fundraiser

We've had a little bit over 4% fundraising participation from those who have used the site in the past year. (Our goal is 16 2/3%) In some cases, this reflects the inspiring turnout we had near the end of last year's fundraiser, which brought us close to last year's goal. But! If you are one of the many who use the site who have never been a sponsor of it, won't you send a contribution today? It means a lot, and it will support our commitment of time, labor, and expense through this year. If you have been a sponsor in the past, but not recently: We would love to have you participate in our drive again. Remember, smaller contributions add up, and they allow our site to survive. All will be thanked on the sponsor wall.

Thank you.

Yours in all peaceful revolutions,

Steve E.
Administrator
The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

We now had 5.5% fundraising participation from those who have used the site in the past year. (Our goal is 16 2/3%) It's not too late to participate, and even smaller contributions add up.

Your contributions are very much the reason this site can continue to exist.
