Is there a delay in posting photos or am I not looking in the correct place?

 

[GoodTurns]

Match the Shop now open!

Sorry for the delay (office computer decided 10 years was enough, didn't want to play anymore!) I have adjusted the closing date to allow a full week! New closing date is Friday the 18th at noon EST.

Thanks
Jon

 

[Charlie_W]

Jon, if we entered a shop pic, are we allowed to play or not? How many entries May one member submit?

Glad you have a happy computer now!

The 18th is not Friday, it is a Tuesday. Did you mean Friday the 14th or Tuesday the 18th?

Which one is yours? :biggrin:

 

[lyonsacc]

Gee - I wonder if anyone is about 1/2 way through . . . or more . . . :biggrin:

 

[Wooden_Pen_Turner_11]

I can't get the link on my iphone and won't be home for a few hours. I hope the tie breaker isn't time!

 

[Charlie_W]

I will let you know in a couple of weeks! :biggrin:

I know 2 of them! ( one is mine )

 

[Edgar]

I know 1 of them - the rest are tough!

 

[GoodTurns]

yes, you can enter...that's your bonus for submitting a pic...you SHOULD get at least one right!

One entry per player, please!

Can't even blame that one on the calendar...just bad math (and I'm an accountant! lol)

FRIDAY the 14th....One week to play

Thanks

Entry submitted.

 

[Mason Kuettel]

Sent mine in...I think I got them all figured out! The only one I didn't have to look up was the bonus (not sure how that worked?!).

 

[Edgar]

Mine's in too - probably too late to win a prize (assuming I got them all right), but it was fun trying to figure them out.

I'd have gotten my finished sooner if my boss hadn't insisted that I do some productive work today.

 

[Wooden_Pen_Turner_11]

Shoot, now I'm in too. I think I would've done better if I knew this was coming today! Oh well. I definitely got one right.

 

[Charlie_W]

I sent my entry in last night. Will be interesting to see the mystery shop results to see if my guess was correct.

 

[alankulwicki7]

I've got all but the mystery shop. That one seems to be a real bugger...

 

[Wooden_Pen_Turner_11]

I've got all but the mystery shop. That one seems to be a real bugger...

Yep.. I found it to be a real pest.

 

[Robert Sherlock]

Entry submitted...I have a good feeling about the mystery shop

 

[tim self]

Mystery shop was easy. Others took a couple days.

 

[Haynie]

Honestly I don't know any. But, you folks make some HUGE pens. How do you get around with them just sort of hanging there in mid air?

 

[The Penguin]

that was rather easy. wish I had taken the time on Friday to get it done!

 

[alankulwicki7]

Mystery shop was easy. Others took a couple days.

Easy? Really? That's the one that's killing me. I think I've seen every picture on the IAP twice but can't identify the mystery shop. I'm still searching....
The others took me a few hours.....

 

[The Penguin]

I recognized the mystery pen, so finding the creator was easy.

 

[GoodTurns]

Still a couple of days to enter...

Bonus Prize added: Random drawing from all entries received for a box of blanks from my shop!

 

[GoodTurns]

Well, apparently I have to come up with something more challenging for next year! Three of the first four entries submitted had all of the shops correct, including the Mystery Shop.

The big winners:

1st: lyonsacc , Dave Lyons: Burls/acrylic blanks from Displaced Canadian and Glues fromSatellite City instant glues value $40

2nd: walshjp17, John Walsh: Gift Certificate from Lee Valley value $50 and box of blanks from edohmann

3rd Mason Kuettel: Glues from Satellite City instant glues value $40 and 16 oz casting kit from Alumilite value $20

Random.org offered up the magic number 15 for the added random drawing, the 15th entry received was from Mike Powell, congrats!

Mike, Please forward me your mailing info and your choice of 1) a box of blanks or 2) a couple nice blanks….quantity or quality…the choice is yours!

ManyThanks to all who submitted pictures of their shops…I believe the variety shows that beautiful pens can come from a lathe on a bench or a mad scientist's lab…the end results can all be fantastic!

The correct listing:
1 Gimpy's
2 Wooden_Pen_Turner_11
3 Tellico Turnings
4 Edohmann
5 Robert Sherlock
6 OLDMAN5050

[Wooden_Pen_Turner_11]

Well done!

 

[Mike Powell]

Ill put money on I didnt get one of them right! But a box of blanks it is for me... Thanks GoodTurns.

PM has been sent with the info requested.

If I could ask a huge favor, I still have a couple of months before I get home, could you mark what the blanks are please?

 

[skiprat]

[Charlie_W]

Bummer.....:frown:
I had 2 shops reversed and didn't get the mystery shop.
Still fun!
Congrats to the winners! Good job!

No Derek, #7 was one of the two that I didn't have to search for!

 

[walshjp17]

[tim self]

Yep, had fun even though I swapped 2 names (but I got skippy right.) Two days looking.

 

[Mason Kuettel]

Thanks for running this contest! I didn't have time to do this last year, but being iced in for a spell gave me the opportunity this year and I liked getting to do a little investigating. Guess it paid off! Thanks again!

 

[plano_harry]

Lot of fun! Thanks for taking the time to set it up and congrats to the winners!

Harry

 

[firewhatfire]

I only knew 2 and didnt have time to play. I knew #7 by the pen and mystery #10 by the pen also

 

[Wooden_Pen_Turner_11]

Just wondering, Jon. Do you have any stats on the most often and least often guessed shops?
