Quote: "Steve & Mary: Since you were able to receive my Feather Merchant plan, I thought I'd have a go with another. I recently picked up a B&W laser kit from the 1990s. It was missing a few parts but they're all plotted on the plan which I'm sending to you.

Since it is scaled to 800 square inches, I'm assuming it was marketed as a Foxacoy model. They actively promoted the event in the American Midwest. The box also contained an old price list for the kits and plans that they offered. I sure would like to get a hold of more of them. Maybe some of the website viewers have them tucked away.

One bit of information that was particularly interesting. These kits were cut and packaged by New Order Amish in Indiana. Except for using a laser, you can't get much more old fashioned than that! A far cry from the ARTFs coming in from the Far East."
