Thank you!!!! As I have said often, I really enjoy MAKING the videos. But, when this "competition" started, I was very interested to see how "my peers" felt about the value of the vids. I appreciate knowing that you find some merit to them.

To all who have written articles or added videos, I thank you all for helping to advance the "knowledge level" of the IAP membership. I will continue to try to do so, as well.

Tom did a great job of making the library better, Wayne has further improved. Now, let's ALL attempt to give it more and better content!!!

Thanks again for this honor,

Ed

I tip my hat to you Ed. That's a move that is not at all expected by ME. It is what it is, from my point of view. You have 1st place, and very deserving of it.

Thanks to all the voters!

Would just to say how excited I was to get 3rd place in this contest!

Today I received my price from JohnU, a mind blowingly beautiful set of Jr feather blanks, he even included a small feather cast to make a matching finial.

Not only that, John included some very nice blanks, Maple, Cherry, Jutoba-Brazilian Cherry and Pear.

John my heartfelt thanks for this prize and I am sorry you drew the short straw and had to send your donation all the way to Oz.:biggrin:
