Popular Post derekcohen Posted July 18, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Quote Do you have any thoughts on how to find or how you found competitions to be apart of? I never really see them other than youtube 2x4 challenges ect Your local woodworking club may have a competition, or one that is affiliated to a wood show. There are those advertised by magazines (such as the Pop Wood comp last year. They have these most years, I believe). In Australia, a few years ago, I entered a tool making competition run by the Australian Wood Review magazine. I came third in that one (winning some beautiful tools by Colen Clenton). My tool was the brace on the cover .. This was an improved version of one I made for a tool competition run by WoodCentral woodwork forum in 2008 ... Aren't these fun to do? It does not matter where you come - I only received an Honourable Mention for the latter - it is just great to be joining in. And there is such inspiration gained that goes along with taking part. The winner of the WoodCentral comp made an exquisite bridle plough plane, and I then set my sites on building one as well. Not for a competition, however. Here is mine ...

derekcohen Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 The West Australian Woodshow was this past weekend. I was there for the furniture competition. I had entered the Sofa Table (with hidden drawer) ... This year I won first prize. Regards from Perth Derek 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guiness? A damn good stout beer, what does that have to do with competition? That's a sideline effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
