in woodworking •  7 years ago  (edited)

Welcome to the second week of the woodworking competition.

This is to encourage writing within the woodworking category.

The Judges are myself and @ skycranehandwork.

Because people of different skill abilities , from novice to master, will be entering the winner will be based on many things not just end results.

Things such as ingenuity, personal improvement, original ideas/ designs and technique.

This will be a lot of fun and promote a healthy competitive spirit within the community.

We have decided to change the format of the competition, It is all a learning curve.

The prizes will be:

1st Prize: 50% of the total SBD (after curation rewards) of this post, plus a link to your post in next weeks winners section.

2nd Prize : 25% of the total SBD (after curation rewards) of this post, plus a link to your post in next weeks winners section.

3rd Prize: A link to your post in next weeks winners section.

SMALL PRINT! As we know the pay out for a post is partly in sbd and partly in sp after any curation costs. The prizes will be a percentage of this sbd amount and not the amount shown on the post. Any pay outs can be verified by looking at my wallet transactions.

Oh well onwards and upwards.

There were a lot of good woodworking posts though, and although these posts will go without a monetary prize, we have highlighted our favourites below.

Here or our three choices from last week,

  1. My Best Friend’s Building a Camper… (Part 1) by @jayjayjeffery
    A great post showing a full strip down of a camper. It has given me all sorts of ideas and I am looking forward to part 2.

  2. How to make a Harmonograph by @idea4u
    A very interesting post. I could see Stephan's engineering past coming through. Well explained and well presented video. ( If it doesn't work on dtube you can see it on the woodworking on steem discord channel)

  3. My 3year old makes Chopsticks by @gohba.handcrafts
    The perfect project to get the younger generation involved. I will be starting my youngest son with this one.

So there we have it the results are in.

The competition for week two is now officially open so get writing.

Good Luck!

I sure hope winter let's up some day so I can go use my shop. It's hard being a woodwork hobbiest in Northern Canada!

I have to admit I have been in the shop less than normal due to the cold. Not as cold here though so I have no excuses.

well I thought for sure at least a couple would have entered. I would have but I just didn't have anything new going on but that might just change this week....... The heater works pretty good in the shop and I have enough hand tools I can do this without my table saw............. I hope......lol

I will hopefully see your post. Good that the new heater is doing the job.

I participate, post on my blog

Great. Thanks I am looking forward to reading it

Thank you. What a nice surprise :)

Here you go fellas, if I need to send an entry fee please advise. https://steemit.com/woodworking/@jerryt/backyard-alter-sanctuary-from-d-logs

I know nominations for First aren't a thing in this contest, but you've got mine so far.

Thank you.

Excellent. No entry fees needed my friend.

I'd say this is closer to beginner level, and not as engaging as other posts I've made, but the more entries the merrier.

Great, thanks for your entry.

Thanks for the mention guys, I'm honoured :)

It was well deserved.

Yay! Thanks jist! I'll have to tell my buddy his camper won ( :

Hi, I think I have talked to you over on discord, not sure. But I was on discord , on the woodworking group, for like a week or so. But I was not connected to steemit or Dtube yet. Well, I am now connected to steemit. Hence my writing you a note here. I still have to join Dtube. So, I am really trying to involve myself and its a bumpy ride. Please explain a few things to me. One....you require two things here....upvote???? and....shucks, something else. Is an upvote where I just , well not sure really, I think its like....hitting a thumbs up button, like on youtube...am I correct? and then the other thing...I forget what you call it, is that like Sharing the video, but you have no video here...so not sure what I am sharing and to whom....LAST Question....I am a woodworker....so, what am I supposed to MAKE For this contest? Your directions really do not make it clear as to WHAT is the theme, or thing I am supposed to make. Maybe I missed it. Can you clarify please? Does the TOPIC Change weekly? or do you mean to say just MAKE ANYTHING....And submit my project. Maybe its THAT Simple and somehow I missed that part in your description. I still need to connect over at Dtube...right? am working on it. THANKS!!!

Hi Shelly,

If you click on the three lines in the top right hand side of the screen a menu will come up. At the top is 'Welcome' That will explain everything about steemit better than I can .

This is a very old post and the woodworking competition is now held on @woodworkcurators. The competition is for the best woodworking posts written that week. You can read this weeks competition rules here Weekly Woodworking Competition #9

I hope that helps,

Thanks, @jist
