Ron,

If you are doing this training under the umbrella of a 501c entity,  your
local Borg will likely donate some product if a request is made on the
501c's letterhead.  It would be worth while to have a chat with the store
manager.

Helping my 13 year old work on his Woodworking merit badge today. Good time
in the shop.
