Tom Cancelleri Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I know we all enter the monthly Wood Whisperer giveaway and probably Festool's monthly tool giveaway. I got an email from Popular Woodworking to enter to win a shops worth of Jet, Bessey and Woodpecker stuff. So it never hurts to enter, even though I have a better chance of cutting down a tree and it magically turning into dimensional lumber. Figured I'd pass on the chances to you guys as well. In no way am I associated with Popular Woodworking or anything like that. Just another hobbyist sharing with his hobbyist friends. http://popularwoodworking.upickem.net/engine/YourSubmission.aspx?contestid=157569&srid=75394991 Good luck! Hope one of the forum guys here wins. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hell, if I win that bunch.... I'd have to go to the bank to build a whole new shop. I entered anyway! I wouldn't mind a new monthly payment... I lie about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Dang that is quite a haul. Good luck to all. I couldn't find anywhere that it said when the drawing was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All entries need to be in by May 31st. I'm guessing the drawing is June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 If you win that you could end up in a high tax bracket... although I guess what you would pay in taxes is cheaper then the tools them selves. Might as well give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 donate your old stuff to a school wood shop, tax write off to offset. I don't think it'd move me in a tax bracket. It's probably about a $3000 tax. Damn government not allowing people to have nice things given to them without them having to take their cut.

Eric. Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Since PWW has basically died a certain kind of death with the departure of their core contributors, you can call it an inheritance...they can't tax you unless it's over a million dollars. I have a better chance of landing a date with Giada in her porno kitchen than winning any drawing. But if anyone else here wins, I get the Woodpeck's saw gauge and coping sled. I'll PM you my address. Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenaqua Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Well Eric last I heard Giada is a single girl again, I would say the odds have improved for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Really? Well then I'm oiling up my skillet and heading to Los Angeles. Gonna make her my baby mama! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn government not allowing people to have nice things given to them without them having to take their cut. I'm sure the gift wouldn't move many people up or down. I'm just saying, I love my CPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bailey Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I know what everyone is thinking here, that one of you guys who already has a shop full of tools is going to win this. Speaking as the guy with not much more than a table saw, a ROS, and a hundred year old union #3, all I have to say is, when that happens remember us little people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's going to be won by someone who won't use it and will sell it all. Someone enters contests as their profession. (Yes there are people who enter contests with thousands of entries) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochese Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 If I won, I'd probably sell off the parallel clamps and planer, sell old stuff to make room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CessnaPilotBarry Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I had to Google Giada... Wow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
