LumberJocks Winter 2010 Woodworking Award Winners Announced

Rockler was the proud sponsor of the Winter 2010 LumberJocks' Woodworking Awards, and the winners were announced today! LJ had a record-breaking 151 entrants for this season's challenge which was "Yin Yang, The Dark and the Light". The idea was to create a project that used color (dark and light) "to convey how contrasts work together to make the whole". Imagine 151 variations on this theme! Completing and submitting an entry for this contest was a huge accomplishment, and we congratulate all the entrants on their efforts!

The voting was done by the LumberJocks themselves. Anyone who had ever posted a project on the site was eligible to vote, and the four top vote-getters won prizes from Rockler.

It's Pinewood Derby Time!

Ah, Pinewood Derby time. That magical time of year when you and your child spend hours in your workshop turning a plain block of wood and four plastic wheels into a lean, mean, racing machine.

Where do you get all those ideas?

Note from the Blogmaster: Today we introduce to you a new contributor to Buzz Saw, Ralph Bagnall of ConsultingWoodworker.com. Ralph is a consultant and a woodworker, and he has written pieces for Woodworker's Journal and other publications. Many of you will also recognize Ralph from woodworking communities on various websites, most notably as Consultingwood on Twitter. He maintains a very active online presence, and we're very pleased to have him join the blog. Welcome, Ralph!

Like many of you, I need to come up with creative gift ideas for family and friends every year. Weddings, housewarmings, birthdays and Christmas can tax even the most creative minds.
