We compiled the results last night and discussed each project, which was recorded for a podcast episode.
This episode will be a video where we will show each of the projects.
Also, I’ll be adding a page (or pages) to show each project too

We are in the process of notifying the winners now.

Anxiously awaiting the results! Will we get a chance to see all the entries, or just the winning entries?

I’ve made a lot of progress over the last 3 days. Today I plan on finishing up the dividers and beginning my pencil tray. Hope it comes in on time!

So far, so good.

It’s been a good sort of project for testing one’s dedication and planning ability. Juggling work, an 11-month old, and village noise ordinances that prohibit power tools after 8pm, it’s been a good exercise to marshal what what little shop time one gets to keep moving the ball down the field.

Hi Michael……..alright. A little mix of maples. That 62 degree polishing plane sounds interesting, I remember reading in your blog about you also picking up a coffin palm plane (?) hope I’m naming it correctly. Rick had a requirement that if you judge you had to build, so I designed trying to use different design elements within the constraints so we had a sort of design elements teaching tool when we’re done, JEEEZ, I had a heck of a time with the constraint of pen/pencil storage, but on paper anyway got it to work in the element of juxtapositioning. Late nights are coming, but that the exciting part.

OH…. I also saw we have a constraint that calls for a picture taken during construction. I have to remeber that.

Very curious as to what we see…………..Neil

Funny you should ask Neil. I was going to send Rick an email this morning. Instead I’ll post it here for everyone.

I started milling up some curly maple last night. Had two boards too wide to resaw on my little bandsaw so I ripped them down. Then passed them through the bandsaw and glued them up for panels. This was from my stash so the 2.5 BF will fall into my ‘scrap’ quantity. These will be the sides, dividers, draw front & pencil holders. The rest of the project will be made out of straight grain maple that I picked up at HD last weekend.

My hand planes came in handy working with these boards. They did a nice job flattening one edge prior to resaw and after for the glue up. They will also help in flattening the panels. I’ll have to use my 62 degree Chinese polishing plane to get the final finish. The tear out is real bad if I am not careful because the curl is real tight. Total time on this stage was 2.5 hours.
