I want to congratulate everyone who entered the contest and I thank you for your votes!
Your votes mean very much to me considering the fact that you are my fellow woodworkers!
It was a great contest.
It wouldn’t have been possible were it not for Matrin. Three cheers for Martin!

Okay…I already commented…and I am still excited to have taken part in my first contest…Here is a qwuestion I have about FUTURE contests…so forgive me for not enjoying the fact that LJ’s just finished a great one…
Here is my question: Will we ever repeat a contest??
Such as an annual 2×4 contest…and annual summer outdoor projects…a furniture style contest (as opposed to thorsen side table—-a style accessible by a wide variety—like thorsen, but changing each year…
And then one or more NEW ones…
Just currious if that has ever been discussed…
