Tony P. Found my business card in a bag of tourniquet parts I had printed some months ago and called me. (Apparently the shipping arrangements set up by Jakub Kaminski weren’t working reliably.) I had stopped making parts some weeks ago after seeing the message saying the program had ended, on the tourniquets for Ukraine web page. I would like to restart things, but would welcome information about what’s really going on, and what is currently needed. Only windlasses?
Email works best for me:

Thanks for reaching out and for the help you have already provided. My direct contact is still seeking the tourniquet parts. Here is the e-mail I recently received from him:
We are in Production and in desperate need of only this piece (windlass). Please spread the word
They can be mailed to me directly

If you are still interested in making more I know they would be very grateful (his step-daughter is on our team currently)
Very good. I’ll do a dozen at a time; with the settings I use it’ll take about 31 hours per dozen.
I’ll need to develop a new way of keeping score! I’ve made 400 sets of parts so far, with each set comprising four different pieces for one tourniquet. But those were complete sets.
