The box they submitted is now our community icon and they are credited on our sidebar. It's a beautiful box with (walnut?) lid and mitered plywood. Nice work, champ!
Well that was fun, huh? Would anyone like to do something like this again?
Thanks y'all :-) Very nice submissions of everybody. There's a lot to learn for me from you!
I'd be in favor of more contests like this to keep the community active and engaged. IMO themes should be easy enough for everyone to participate.
How about some home dekor or figurines for the next theme? I think its difficult to draw the line between woodworking and DIY handicrafts. I wouldn't mind touching the handicrafts area a little bit, since professional woodworking is not something I can do with my skillset, tools, and time.
I'm so glad you felt that way because that was just what I was hoping for. Home decor or figurines are both excellent ideas for a new challenge. I was thinking of announcing it in Sept. I like handicrafts too. I'm more into spoon carving and whittling than furniture building and cabinetry. Maybe one day Lemmy will have communities for those things.
