We're Olympic College located in Bremerton, Washington.  I'm one of the Welding Instructors and I teach a Welding Metallurgy course.  Right now all we have for lab equipement is a grinder (spark test).  Is there anyone out there who would be able to donate a microscope and/or Rockwell hardness tester to our school so our students can gain further insight and knowledge of microstructures?  If you have equipment available please respond to this post or email chobson@oc.ctc.edu  you would be able to get a tax write off (US) and have the satisfaction of helping to further the profession by contributing to the next generation of technicians.  thanks!
