-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

oooooo . . . . the suspense is overwhelming!

-- What exactly is "The Move" and who are you calling a "Quirky Jerk"? -- http://www.north40custom.com

Sounds very interesting!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

I was excited up to the point of reading that we didn’t have to build anything. Then my bubble burst. My wife had mentioned wanting another bookcase or two. I don’t do Sketch-up, preferring graphite design work. Oh well, I’ll watch with interest.

-- CutNRun - So much wood, so many trails, so little time

wow this is exciting. I’ve been wanting to build a bookcase to showcase my “popular mechanics: do it yourself encyclopedia” printed 1957 that was handed down from my uncle to me. it originally belonged to my grandfather.

I’ll be here next week, and in the meantime… My diabolical plan factory is already hard at work brainstorming for total worldwide bookshelve domination!

oh yah chuck… I can hear the evil laugh from here!

Bring it on!!!

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Hey, CutNRun – don’t watch from the sidelines – Martin said you’d be able to submit hand-drawn plans, too.

Man, I don’t know NOTHIN’ about design or bookshelves. But you better bet I’ll be thinking about something to submit!

Sharpen up the ol’ mouse ball…

I’ve been dying to make a bookcase for my woodworker and woodturner magazines and my collection of woodworking books

-- A. Molloy

Just getting ready to start my bookcases. Won’t kill me to wait another week. Count me in guys.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

I was excited up to the point that I read where sketchup was part of it… or plans of any time. I dont do plans. I get the dimensions and then do it in my head. Guess I’ll be watching from the bench.

This should be good….

-- Maplewood, MN

get thinking anyway, Obi… maybe the details that we hear about next week will change your mind. What’s the harm with thinking? :)

-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

yeah.. the prize is going to be really special… any guesses? ;)

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com

Thinking! Why that could be dangerous. After all a mind is a terrible thing.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

Special prize…....I’m going to guess that it is to be published in the mag, and possibly a trip to the shop for photos…...or (hopefully) a brand new unisaw with 52” fence :)

-- If you can't set a good example, at least serve as a horrible warning... www.rarewoodcreations.com

yah.. we’ve done the bandsaw… now what…

Martin said, “You will have to wait until next week …”

I tell you, this site is reminding me more and more of a few young ladies I used know … tease, tease, tease!

;-)

-- If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a darn fool about it.

lol
kinda reminds me of a young child who has made a special gift for his parents .. “I can’t tell you what it is… it’s a…” :)

We’ll have Glen Huey make it for us.

I’m hoping for a 100 thousand dollar grand prize !

-- Hey ! I was born in IOWA .... don't blame me

EVERYONE please read … I down loaded Google SketchUp (as Martin mentions) recently. It’s a hoot … Try it. Then try Google Earth and hang on to your socks. They are both FREE.

-- Odie, Confucius say, "He who laughs at one's self is BUTT of joke".

Perfect timing! My grandmother just asked me to design and build a floor-to-ceiling bookcase for all her photo albums.

-- Sawdust is life

Grand Prize – Sam Maloof comes to your shop and helps you build your design???

I’m sharpening my pencil…I still prefer to do my drawings by hand. Its almost as enjoyable as building the project. I just don’t get the tactile pleasure from using the computer to do it (that and I just can’s seem to get the hang of it.) I guess I’ll be one of the only ones to submit hand drawings.

BTW….I already have the first sketch done, front view. Next is the side veiw, followed by the shop drawings.

-- Greg - Charles Town, WV

so when does this contest start and what are the details etc ?

-- Hey ! I was born in IOWA .... don't blame me

... and the waiting is over ;)
