Giving back to the community is a common theme throughout the moldmaking industry, so Charlie Harris’ story is not unique, but boy is he passionate and on a mission to pay it forward.

Here are some snippets from our quick conversation to whet your appetite:

  • Charlie woke up one morning with a plan after being gifted a toolbox full of tools himself
  • Started seeking out cutting tools to distribute to area shops
  • My entire truck bed is full of cutting tools to give out to apprentices
  • Armin Tool, A1 Tool and Pro Mold & Die were initial recipients.
  • Due to such an abundance of tools from his first donator, Charlie needed to find more shops in need of a variety of cutting tools.
  • He cleans and calibrates the tools as needed, and refurbishing the toolboxes too.
  • Driving around Chicagoland area to pick up tools to donate from retirees ready to give back.
  • Just pay it forward!
