Green because that’s in and could be challenging. 2×4 because I’m new to this and wouldn’t mind something simple to get started.

-- Jerry L.

1- 2X4 and Wood Joinery because this would be within reason for someone that is on a limited budget.

-- " All Things At First Appear Difficult"

2×4, green, garden, mixed media (use the runners up for the winter contest!)

looks like 2×4 is way ahead—as of this moment. How exciting to be able to watch “the race” !!
This is great Martin. Thanks.

oh.. gee.. now I have something else to keep me attached to the computer. I’ll be checking the poll every hour now!! :)

Hi,
I was wondering if everyone is using the official ballot that Martin set up for this?

2×4 x ???? 8?, 10, 12, 100?

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

Dick, Yes,

Rob, just the one (96”) – unless you can pick up a 100’ 2x at your Home Depot ;)

I knew it was just one, I was asking about the length and at the Texas Home Depot you can get the 2”X4”X100’. It’s for our wide open spaces, ha!!!!

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

It also says 2×4…gonna get a 2’ x 4’ x 100’ and build a house…:)

-- Bob, Carver Massachusetts, Sawdust Maker http://www.capecodbaychallenge.org

1 – 2×4, garden project, featuring joinery and has 1 or more drawers. :)

Shucks!
I was thinking 2” x 4” x 8”.

2×4, and Garden

The stats look strange. Are they supposed to add to 100%?

-- We must guard our enthusiasm as we would our life - James Krenov

looks like each option is a percentage of the total, seperately. Odd that.

Wayne, they will not add to 100% because I’ve enabled multiple choices option. I’d like everybody to pick 2 favorite ones.

Thanks for voting, it’s an exciting race ;)

I picked omething with drawers and opposite woods. But I might have been one of the early people to suggest 2×4 I’m comfortable with that choice.

I guess if 2 X 4 is one of the winners we would have to design the rules to interperite other items that might be used. Biscuts, dowells, accent pieces of wood, wheels, etc.

Garden and single sheet. Garden project from a single sheet?

-- John

It looks like we need more votes. So far there are only 38 votes. The garden project is leading with 39%, closely followed by single 2×4 at 34% and wood joinery at 32%.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Sunday is fast approaching …. it will be interesting to see what the outcome is

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

: ^ )

I’ll give you a hard time about the percentages another day….

-- We must guard our enthusiasm as we would our life - James Krenov

I’m already spinning ideas for some categories, though with the categories not yet decided, that’s a dangerous thing.

I can see it now, Scott .. Martin posts the results on Monday and you already have the two items built!!!!

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Wouldn’t that be funny?... Yeah, but they’ll be the wrong projects, and I’ll still have my Thorsen table to wrap up!

I’m thinking about making a 2’ X 4’ Garden in my backyard.

That’s about all the room I have, & I can’t afford anymore seeds than that.

Garden Projects sounds good to me.

Garden projects seem to be a popular theme, since the nice weather is on its way. So far, 2×4 is barely ahead of wood joinery.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

—-ha!!!....my place is filled up and over-flowing this time of year with garden projects, every where I go I see garden projects. Outside at garden side my wife says ”honey do….”; in the woods the trees say ”will you please….” and then in the fields the brush says ”can you please….”, so much so that the only place I can go to get away from projected garden projects is in my barn of a work shop and there my machines speak a different language, such as….”can you please do some work and maintenance me?”

It’s time I go and curl some chips of wood….
GODSPEED,
Frank

-- --frank, NH, http://frank.wordpress.com/

I can’t find the “vote” button, so here is my vote:
GREEN—Great for barnwood
GARDEN PROJECT—Plenty to do, here!

Anyway, it will be fun to see what everyone does. I may even pick up an idea or trick along the way!

I am still working on my Thorson table…LOL

Too Blessed to Stress!
Hawg

-- Saving barnwood from the scrapyards

looks like the voting time is now over and the results are in….

38% Wood Joinery

33% Garden Project and 33% 2×4

So now we just need to figure out how to break the tie (perhaps Hawg’s vote could be counted) and then the details for what the expectations are, for each category.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

—-well, I’m glad to see ‘wood joinery in there as number one!
....and….’garden projects’, well as I was saying, they’re all around me
....and….well I will have to think about 2×4’s since I never use them, all mine are 3×4’s from the sawmill, hmmm….guess I’ll have to cut them down to 2×4’s….!

Anyways, time to get started on thinking about summer….
GODSPEED,
Frank
