So the big news of the day is that the results are out!
I really didn’t expect to win, or even to come close, with my step stool. I did have a secret desire that I would get a vote. If I got just one vote, I would have been ecstatic. Instead, I actually got 10 votes, including one vote for 1st place. Thank you!

I guess we have new LumberJocks Murphy’s Law and it’s official:
If anything can go wrong, it will when I go on vacation.
As you noticed, Summer 08 Awards Section has not been working properly in the past hours. Since I was on the road at the time, I wasn’t able to fix the problem before the entry period deadline.
Now it’s fixed and I decided to move following important dates:
Entry opens on July 1, 2008 at 6 AM CDT and ends on August 3, 2008 at 3 PM CDT.

January has been an entertaining and inspiring month, as the entries for our two Awards categories came in. I am very pleased to see the excellent response – with 50 boxes and 34 2×4 projects. Also, the challenges that we host throughout the year are intended to provide woodworkers the opportunity to expand their own skills. I think you have outdone yourselves. Very impressive work. You are all winners already. Congratulations.
And now, an exciting week is ahead of us as we meet...
