The 2 x 4 entries

So, last night I was at the St. Petersburg Woodworkers Guild meeting where all of the 2 x 4 entries were brought to show off. I have got to tell you  – WOW… some impressive entries.  Here’s a look at the projects that were turned in…

OK, so I didn’t walk away with top honors, but I have got to tell you that I learned a lot about how to build efficiently with limited materials, I built my first domed lid and I had a blast.  Next year, I think I’m going to be back building again…

  1. Great entries, all.
    That magazine rack is outstanding.
    I think I’m going to try a domed box.
    Great contest by a great Guild.
    You have a lot of very talented woodworkers there.
