Tomorrow is the big day.

Actually, it is about 7 hours. That is when we can flood Bob's male box with all out entries.

Now Bob is going to tell everyone that skill level doesn't matter. And he is right. After all, this is his contest.
What he forgets to tell you, is that you can't win a prize without entering the contest. So, get your pens made and send the photos to him.
You have just over 2 weeks to make the winner.
And remember, only one entery per member.
Just think how great this could be, if we could get 100 entries.
It would drive Bob out of his mind.
He might even have to arrange three rounds of voting.

Just to Clarify....

- Bob doesn't have a MALE BOX, he has a MAIL BOX, very important
- Skill level does matter.....a beginner can make a ball point pen and enter AND WIN!
- out of my mind does not require any driving, a short walk will cover it
- check out the new bike made from leftover scrap wood, cool huh? Road trip!


Now just try flooding my MAIL box, I dare you !! I can handle anything you send my way ~

SEE? I can make foolish mistakes also!

I just had to walk away from my lathe. One last pass....... We have all said it and done it. My blank just blew up in about 7 pieces

Shaking my head and starting over.

(Wow Bob.......nice trade up for you!)
