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

oooooo . . . . the suspense is overwhelming!

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.

nice…

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!

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….

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

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

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

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka

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 :)

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!

;-)

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

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 !

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.

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

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.

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