Congratulations to the winners of our "Giveaway and Poll: The Most Requested Woodworking Gifts of 2009."

	Laguna DriftMaster Bandsaw Fence Harvey Wildes
	Laguna LT Ceramic Bandsaw Guides Lawrence Lucas
	60 1/2 Adjustable Mouth Block Plane Shannon Brantley
	Lie-Nielsen Brass Cross Penn Hammer Hubert Kunnemeyer
	Leigh 18" Dovetail Jig Thomas Charland
	Oneida Dust Deputy Deluxe Michael Shelley

 Below you'll find the final breakdown of polling results in descending order of popularity (top three). Perhaps the most intriguing results came from the "Most Popular Shop Gear" category. Good old lumber took the top spot and we can't help but wonder if perhaps that is a reflection of the tough economic times we're facing these days. Folks could have gone with clamps for the top spot, or perhaps even a bench. Instead, it was a simple stock pile of materials that most folks were after.
