Is there a bank account we can out money into for a gift for Toby's family from the forum?
There was the one used for his South Island trip funds is it still active? Also I think Rushy had one for helping out Toby when he was first crook. Was a ways back.
Bloody nice thought Stug. Big ups to you .
I have his mothers acct which I used to put dollars in on a couple of occasions way back instead of using the Give A Little which was started for him.
It would need verifying though to make sure it is still correct.
I will dig it out but maybe one central person would be the better collector of funds.

That was bloody hard, going thru that thread. Following his progress when there was some goodish news initially.
There is also Give A Little https://www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/helptoby

Good idea, but then what to buy ?. I gifted the turdskin some funds and gear for his trip south.
I'd like to be able to contribute towards the cost of a headstone (preferred and permanent) or secondly his service/ farewell.
These can be significant costs borne by the family.
Just putting it out there, I'm happy to go with the flow.
@BRADS ?

With the families blessing I would like to suggest we put in to fund a head stone, its a little early, but I know a nice one is not cheap and he deserves something special that his family can design , It maybe inappropriate at this stage just a thought
I'm not sure I'm the right the person to drive this, but I've asked and sent a link.

Ok guys James someone has read your post....
The family doesn't want a head stone as Toby is being cremated.
Just had a ring from Tobys sister and if the forum wanted to do something they'd really like a urn made of bullets.
Is this possible?
Come on chaps we must have some clever fuckers here?

Have to ask, is .270 allowed?
Got some bright 6.5SE Norma cases to contribute. Need someone good at brazing to do it tidily
I have one large shell here is that an option with some creative fitting of smaller calibres
If someone has a stamping machine (as in blacksmith/ironwork) you could flatten a shit load of them out and would make it an easier job.
Anybody know a jeweller? I have one I could talk to
how eva, wat eva, I'm in. that account is coatia, I used it 6mnths ago and all good
Maca knows what Im on about...would be happy to etch a casing as a tribute to Toby
I'm with Shift on this. Happy to donate when I know where it's going if that makes any sense? Would love to be involved with something like the urn that's been motioned or something special for the family as a remembrance.
I've always been told as a kid, 'one thing you should never have to too is go to your own kids funeral' and now as a family man myself I can understand what they mean.
Just let me know.
That would be awesome! Can you do bigger shells? post some pics of yr finished ones teFerrarri, mine are in my office:thumbsup:

Yep. Just a matter of scaling up the artwork and the etch tank
I have a large atry shell here if it will help, I think 155mm about a foot long, happy to hand it over if somewhere here can work it into something ernish

Only because the shells are darned hard to photograph so have attached some other work. I etch copper and brass using an acid/resist technique
Could maybe do this? bit of A4 paper to compare size.

Yip, I'll be keen to put some $ into it. Just some other random thinking too, maybe too soon, maybe not workable, but potentially can we do a yearly hunt either south or norrh island wirh a cock n balls as a trophy up for grabs, entry fee to go towards cancer society? Just thinking out loud.
good bit of kiwi slang pengy, love the idea @Grunta
Shorten the artillery brass and fit a projectile as a screw on lid
Ie remove the body of the brass at the base and shorten, silfloss back on, this keeps the screw thread in the neck to fit the projectile into as a lid.
The whole thing then ends up shorter and more proportional.

This sounds mean. Who's the clever chap?
Who's got a nice shell to send me? Who's doing some design ideas? @teFerrarri can you etch a photo some how?
