I forgot to set the poll to close, voting will end on 4/26.

 

[Leo Voisine]

Oh Boy - Not I gotta go figure out what the winner will get.

Is there a FIRST prize - SECOND prizr and or THIRD prize -- OR -- is it only one winner?

 

[Mike Stafford]

Will the winners in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place please PM me with your snail mail address. I will send you a MAJOR AWARD!

These major awards are final and non-returnable. You won 'em, you keep 'em.

Not sure I'd consider myself a kind soul, but I voted for your Poplar coat rack not for its looks, but for its functionality.

Thank you sir, for your vote and for recognizing the beauty of function. If it doesn’t win the coat rack prize it’s going to a special show at MOMA featuring road kill as art in the 21st century. What better way than hanging from a street sign!

I would just like to say anyone who can build a coat rack/hat rack upon which the fairer sex is willing to place their chest harnesses wins my vote. I admire and am envious of you, sir.

 

[Toni Ciuraneta]

Well guys this has been a loooong challenge, I want to thank all the participants, administrators, followers and helpers and of course voters who made this possible.
What I can guarantee is that the next one will be much shorter in time.
BTW it will be appreciated that the winners post pictures of the prizes when they receive them. Congratulations to all!

 

[Ted Calver]

Thank you, Toni for inspiring some of us to get off our duffs and build something useful. Both of my projects are getting used daily and we are glad to have them.
Congratulations to all participants for your creativity and craftsmanship.

Received in the mail today from Mike Stafford was this combo magnetic pick up tool/pointer with a beautifully turned cocobolo?? handle. Thank you, Mike for your generous support and encouragement.

I agree with Ted. Many thanks to Toni for being the instigator of this challenge. I learned several lessons along the way, including to not settle for good enough. I wasn't happy with my entry, so I re-did it just so I wouldn't have to look at it every day. I just now posted the pics here.
