Maybe they will make a contest for you guys separate. Who knows. Then we can see your stuff.
Enjoy the projects. Some of them are outstanding. I wish I could find some of the type of wood they have found though.
Keep makin chips..

Benthoven writes: I don't think US and Canada DVDs work in UK DVD players, as our fearless leader found out when he gave UK's prime minister a useless collection of US DVD movies on his recent visit.

However, I'd love to see the pen and pencil set given in return to our president that was lathed from wood salvaged from the old slave-rescue smuggling ship!

Livermore writes: I have looked at the rules and I don't see if you can enter more then once, I do a lot of recycled material wood working, working green is my thing. Can one enter more then once? Either way good contest.

Mr_Shaker writes: I agree with you guys, it sucks. Imagine, the contest is restricted to US and Canada, I live in Canada (province of Quebec) but this province is excluded! Try to understand why? Will the next contest only be for males between 38 and 41, living in Liechtenstein and are 6'5" or more?

Cheerio.

locsird writes: Ditto on the comments above, I can understand when the prizes are power tools which may have voltage problems etc but why can I be allowed to win a Mug or a DVD? Why dont you have some stuff for non US Canada residents? We are still paying! Unhappy :( UK subscriber!
