LumberJocks.com Winter Woodworking Awards – Yin Yang

Posted by on under amp light, wood stains, th time, e type, yin yang, january 1st, jock, woodworking, lumber, gift card, bench, ace, prizes, furniture, vote |

I really enjoy the Lumber Jock contests and seeing what everyone comes up with. This time we should also see a little wider range of build entries as it’s not specific to any one type of furniture but instead a theme so entries could really be almost anything. Happy Building!  

Category: Yin Yang – the dark and the light. Where would one be without the other? Create a project that uses color dark & light (wood, stains, etc.) to convey how contrasts work together to make the whole. When you post your project describe the Yin Yang effect that you created.

Submit your project between January 1st – 31st

Vote on all the projects between February 1st -7th

Prizes include Bench Cookies for top 11 spots and for 1st place an additional $400 gift card, all from Rockler

Check out the GarageJournal.com Blog & Forum

The Garage Journal is a great blog/forum site we were introduced to several months ago by the guys from The Garage Slab Magazine. Who knew there was so much interest in garages right, to have dedicated magazines and forums? Once you dive on in however my guess is, if you are like me, you will find far too much of it extremely interesting. The “garage” encompasses so much from cars, tools, woodworking, gadgets, beer making, construction and you could probably relate anything else you are interested in without stretching too far. Here was one interesting post that caught my eye, The Bunker Garage, which goes through the whole process of building this interesting garage. In the blog they always seem to have lots of posts on tools and work benches (see Mega Bench). Check it out it’s worth a visit!
