Thanks for the welcome.

Karson -groan – you may make me rethink this place :-) (Just kidding)

Zuki – I did see the box and 2×4 contest but I have a question – does it have to be something made just for the contest, or can it just be something made recently? I did a couple of boxes last year that I’d consider entering one, but if it’s only supposed to be projects built for the contest I don’t think I will have time.

Kerry . . . here is the link to the contest – http://lumberjocks.com/awards/winter_2008

Not Just Any Box – There are boxes and then there are “boxes”. Whether you are a beginning woodworker or a skilled craftsman, a box can provide a challenge to bring your woodworking skills to a new level by mixing technique with artistry. It’s time to “step out of the box” and create “not just any box”. Entries for this category are to be boxes with dimensions (height, width, depth), each not to exceed 18 inches / 45.72 centimeters.

I cant seem to find the blog regarding questions on the contest. I believe it would be eligible. Can someone help Kerry out?

-- The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them

Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah blah, happy times all around, there’s more here than you can get through on any given evening nor would even want to. HA!!!

But seriously Kerry, you’ve found a good place to commiserate. There’s all skill levels here and something for everyone, from esoteric to traditionalist, from machined to handcut and everything in between, welcome!

Welcome aboard! I have received a lot of support and encouragement from the members here as well as learned a lot from them. I think you will too!

Welcome to LJ Kerry.
This is one of the better designed forums.

As stated above , the buzz word here has to be encouragement, you’ll not find a better supportive group of folks anywhere. Welcome!
