Skills cabinet making competition results.

Today participated in the regional Skills competition in calgary.It was for grades 10-12, I am in grade 10. After 6 hours of work, my box was complete. I brought some beeswax to make my box stand out from the others. The techniques the box required were hand-cut dovetails, rabbet joints, tapers, dados and other regular practices. The box sides are yellow poplar, the ends are cherry and the top and bottom are cherry plywood.

I came in bronze (third) and was very happy because this was my first competition, and it is a very different type of wood work then what I regularly do. Along with the bronze metal, I received a T-shirt, an an 85 piece Makita drill bit set. I was very happy to get this reward. I was also qualified to enter into the provincial Skills Competition in 20 days. This would be great but the project for that competition is so complicated that my wood working teacher and I cannot make any sense out of it. It will be interesting to see what happens there…

I like to think I could make dovetails that nice in 6 hours but I know the truth. I'm amazed at your ability and only wish my school had the kind of classes that would have taught that. Well done, good luck on the next level. Even if you can't do it now you have lots of skill and can always get better for next year, trying will be worth the practice at least so don't give up.

Congratulations and good luck in provincials.You did a nice job on your project, the dovetails look tight fitting. I was lucky enough to compete in Skills Canada last year and had a blast. Any chance you get to compete in a Skills Canada event is a great experience.

Wow Ryan, If your box was third, the first 2 must have been something. Yours looks very good to me and I wish you luck in your next competition. Keep us posted and know that we are pulling for you. Have fun and don't 'pressure up'.

Thanks for your support. The provincial competition is in 18 days, pressuring up is not going to be an option, haha.
