2011 Forum Competition ? Does anyone fancy joining in ?

[skeetoids]

Hi Blister,

This sounds like a really great idea.

I take it there now needs to be a list of 12 projects, 1 per month, for us to work on?

By the looks of the list it seems like a lot of us haven't been turning long, this will limit those who don't have the necessary tools for certain projects. I'm thinking along the lines of hollow forms or deep vases etc. I for one don't have the tools for that work yet.

Really looking forward to the list of projects, holler if I can be of any help.

Cheers,

Lee.

This is a mixture of face plate / chuck / spindle work , easy to start with ( January ) becoming more difficult as the months pass , some are plain and let the wood / craftsmanship show through , some are artistic , lets your imagination design and handwork take precedence Hope you like them :mrgreen:

Just an idea , but I subscribe to the Woodturning mag , does not cost a fortune , lots of WIP projects and lots of our forum users doing them , you could give it a try for a year , and its cheaper on a annual subscription :mrgreen:

Hi Blister,

Sorry, I'm a bit late on this one!! (again!! :roll: :roll: ) I won't be able to enter (if this year carries on like last - fingers crossed!! :wink: ), but I would be willing to give a hand judging, whether as a judge or as someone for the judges to talk to re any particular points or pieces.

I was one of the judges for the last competition that Tom ran on here a year or so ago and it is surprisingly hard. Being a solo judge, with no one to ask a second opinion would be tough! Either way, let me know if I can help out!

Cheers

Richard

Blister, thanks for organising this, it's a really good idea.

I would like to enter, but i'm not sure I could commit to all 12 months/items. Would it cause any problems if I didn't enter every month?


Cheers
