I don't know if this idea has legs or not, but how about a comp where all entries were of exactly the same piece? I'll tell you what gave me the idea, my Uncle Tom and I were at the Stoneleigh show and we saw a lovely liittle clock by Gary Rance, like this Bandstand Clock here:

We bought the plans. OK they are not brill, but they give the basic dimensions and the rest you can work out for yourself. I fancy making it, and he fancies making it, so I plan to challenge him to a duel. Now I am NOT a good turner, but he is a very good metal turner, and a beginner woodworker (at 80!) so I think that is fair.
Unless someone can donate a prize, it would be for the glory, and we'd have to agree a project, but it could be fun, donchathink?
Cheers
Steve
