Who Will Own Fogtainer 1 ? A Contest - This contest ends Sunday, August 29, 2010 at midnight EDT.
As part of the Fogtainer project, Fogtainer 1 will be given away to a lucky member of the FOG. Who is it? Only Shane and I know. We need to see if you know.
Here is the jist. Fogtainer will be shipped out on Friday to a member who has participated in one of the Fogtainer threads. I have gone thru those threads and have made my decision on whom to award it to. That part is done.
The fun part is that I want to see which member can guess who it is. We will not know who it is until the recipient posts pictures of the Fogtainer 1. It has been made more special and even I have not seen it! Note ? attendees at the last class in Lebanon ? please do not post about its appearance.
Here are the rules ? I made them up:
Go thru the threads regarding the FOGtainers, think about who might be worthy of FOGtainer 1. Post here with your guess.
You get one guess. If you modify your initial guess, you are disqualified. If you post a guess by mistake again, the first guess counts. So search and think carefully. Remember that I am a teaser and I may consider others that are not the most obvious - or not.
Once the recipient reveals her / his identity, then we will know if anyone guessed correctly. If one member guesses correctly, then it is easy. They win. If more than one guesses correctly, then I will draw a name from the pool of correct guessers.
For those of you in far away lands, you may compete in this contest. Festool employees and myself may not enter. Dealers may enter!
A winner will be announced via a video on Festool.tv if there are multiple members in the running and there is a drawing. Of course a link will be published here. If only one member guesses correctly, then there will be an announcement here.
What is the prize? You will have to be patient and wait and see. I have been given the green light to do another project similar to the FOGtainer and the recipient will be receiving a prototype to test and report back on. It will be cool ? the BIG GUY thought it was a good idea. The recipient of the prize will not be allowed to reveal what the prize is, but will be involved in the official announcement of its availability to the FOG.
This is a thank you for all the support that you have given to the FOGtainer project even if you were not able to purchase one.
I hope that all of you will participate and play.
Happy searching and reading.
How do I enter: Post your guess in this thread.
Peter
EDIT: An announcement: Everyone who posts in this thread and guesses a member in accordance with the goofy rules above and is WRONG will be entered into a a drawing to receive the same prize as the winner. Your odds of winning will just be lower.
Have fun with this. That is what this is all about!

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

Who Will Own Fogtainer 1 ?
To clarify, that does not mean just that it's a Systainer size 1. That means the inaugural FOGtainer, the first, numero uno, the alpha, the mother of all FOGtainers... you get the idea. You guys just don't know what a great choice you made when you voted Peter into his moderator position. I can't imagine a moderator being more devoted and dedicated to the forum and its members. <Edited for clarification> |

Shane,
Numero Uno is a sys 1 in size though.
But heck, who cares about size anyway.

Uhm, I already know who the Owner of the FOGtainer -1 will be, so I guess I'm disqualified from this contest. Thanks for blabbing, Peter!   On Edit: Since I can qualify in the consolation prize portion of the contest by guessing incorrectly, I'll guess Shane.  |

My guess is BRICE BURRELL. He was the first person on that thread to suggest a group buy on a custom printed systainer. BTW, he also said, when he was told the minimum order for printing would likely be 50 pieces, "50 may be hard to swing"!!! And we finished on what, 275 or something like that? Not bad, really! |

I'd say Johnny round boy, and may victory be his! I really like the FOGtainer idea and appreciate all the effort that went into it, but sadly couldn?t afford to participate in the buy at this moment in time, economy being as it is. If only they would be available for Toolpoints, i would actually bother to register these.... Anyway: I wish Johnny the best of luck with his FOGtainer #1, and I'll gladly test my prize ( I suspect it's a FOGtop for my MFT-3 ) for durability and colour-fastness  Regards, Job |

I searched the original custom sysport thread where the fogtainer was born and this poster was the first one that put his hand up for an order. So my vote goes to Charimon.
"I would be up for 2-3 sys 2's If anyone wants to start it
Shane? Could you bring up the idea of a Fog group special edition run of the Dk Blue w/ Green Latches??? (heck, instead of FESTOOL Systainer have it FOG SE Systainer and use the Tanos handles too Thanks Thanks

I think I will go with Richard on this one, Charimon from what I could gather put out an idea that i think was just how the real deal went down with the FOGtainers. If I reeeeeeealy had it my way though i would have Peter keep the FOGtainer 1. Peter, alot of us helped put the idea on the table but your the one who made it all happen.......THREE CHEERS FOR FOGtainer Pete.  My final vote is for Charimon. Good luck. |

No disrespect Charimon and I applaud the fact that you were brave enough to be the first to order, but I think Wayne's renderings really sold them. For the first time, one could actually see the finished product and almost smell its newness  My vote remains unchanged for Wayne and now..... we wait |

My guess is Shane Holland. It's going to be shipped from my desk to my house via the Big Red Ram Express.  Seriously, though, there's no reason why ALL members shouldn't participate here. Who is your guess for the lucky FOGtainer Numero Uno to be sent to? |

It seems you just gave a hint to everyone that did not guess yet by stating the correct answer was not guessed yet. Not really fair.

Nick,
I don't see that anyone has said if or if not a guess has been correct or not. Members will keep guessing until the deadline. It means that there will be more members in the drawing for the prize for the correct answer ( unless only one guesses correctly) and there will be more members in the drawing for the consolation prize.
Nobody should read into anything as being a hint.
Peter

Uhm, I already know who the Owner of the FOGtainer -1 will be, so I guess I'm disqualified from this contest. Thanks for blabbing, Peter! On Edit: Since I can qualify in the consolation prize portion of the contest by guessing incorrectly, I'll guess Shane. Didn't you edit your initial answer so you are re-disqualified |

Well I don't get that hint at all. Are you referring to people participating or what?
A hint only make a person second guess who they are going to choose, so maybe no more hints. Hints should have only been before the voting, IMHO.

Double disqualified!  Heh, heh, heh. But, that's okay. It's really fun watching this all unfold. Keep guessing guys! |

Nick, That was not a hint. I was referring to the fact that it seems difficult to get participation in this thread. My apologies if I gave a different impression. Peter |

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

... I was referring to the fact that it seems difficult to get participation in this thread.
...
Peter
Hmmm. Wonder if there is anything that I can do to help increase participation??? Oh, how about if I were to accept bribes? That might work. |

First a big thank you to everyone that played a hand in making this idea come to fruition. As there are so many people that had a hand in this, I am going to choose the long shot .... JORAFT. I would like a youtube video posted when his wife opens the door to the UPS man standing there with a box stamped all over ADULT MATERIAL.   -Dan |

Let the record show that Toolman54 became a member, participated in the group buy, and then later posted for the first time. Gotta love that Guy!.

Well, I think Peter or Wayne deserve the prototype. I know Peter is too generous to keep it for himself so Wayne is the next logical choice. Since I never win anything I'm not going to ruin the chances of all the guys that picked Wayne. I'm going to make my pick for someone else that isn't the most obvious, in fact, he didn't even post in the FOGtainer threads that I know so I'm sort throwing my guess away. My selection, Matthew Schenker. Without all his work to get this place off the ground we wouldn't be here. |

I agree that Wayne Lang deserves some kind of token from us for his great work and photo documentation but there are others such as Frank Pellow who have provided us with some very entertaining threads.
I also agree with Brice that a memento to Matthew as a small token of gratitude for making the FOG what it is would be very nice.

UPDATE: FOGtainer 1 has left the buidling and is on its way to a new home! Only thirty six members have entered this contest? Talk about good odds!
Contest is open until midnight US EDT this Sunday! Then we wait. How long? I can't tell!

So then, If the contest closes Sunday midnight, then I guess it could be delivered to it's destination on Monday morning. And since it's only just left, that pretty much rules out anyone not in mainland USA... |

Jonny,
Not true. I didn't say when it would be delivered. Just that it shipped. It could take days or weeks or months to get to its destination. Heck - it could even get lost along the way! Note: Boy will I be angry if that happens! We will have to wait and see.

Just in case the recipient of FOGtainer 1 is looking for instructions on what to do, whenever you receive it, please post here with pictures of everything, if possible, if you want. I haven't seen the little guy in over a month and I have heard rumors that it isn't what I remember. Shane passed the little guy out and I think there are fingerprints and drool on it.
Shane. You did clean up the little guy before shipped it didn't you?
GOOD LUCK! And a heartfelt thank you for participating in this groundbreaking, precedent setting, Forum enriching project! Hope that you get as much a kick out of it as we have!
Peter

It's DNA! The recipient will be able to clone people who work at Festool USA as well as the attendees of the last class. Don't worry, I wiped it down after I touched it!

There was a package at my door when I got home from work today??. Apparently Peter deemed me worthy of the coveted FOGtainer 1.  I?m honored, I really am. I can?t say enough about Peter?s generosity, and a special thanks to the Festool staff and all of the forum members that supported this great project. Here are a few pictures of the FOGtainer 1.   Some of the Festool USA staff were kind enough to sign the top. From left to right: Brian Sedgeley, Minni Gleb, Christian Oltzscher, Shane Holland, Michael Williams and Rick Bush.   When I opened it up I found this, a certificate from Peter?. It reads: Congratulations!
Brice Burrell
You posted the following on March 6, 2010:
?Hmmmm, I wonder if we could put together a big enough group order to have a custom color (I like dark blue) with a custom FOG logo made up. Anyone interested??
The result was a project with unprecedented participation that fostered community spirit, encouraged participation provided fun and humor, and enriched the live of Forum members.
As a thank you I pronounce you to be the new owner if this, THE one and only prototype of the Fogtainer Project.
FOGtainer 1 !
I hope you will enjoy this as much as I have enjoyed this entire experience! Thanks again to everyone involved! Now, let the next phase of this contest begin, picking the winners.  |

Haha! I was right!!! My guess is BRICE BURRELL.
He was the first person on that thread to suggest a group buy on a custom printed systainer.
Congrats Brice. As I said, it was you who suggested it first, so it's right you should have gotten it. Looks like I'm in with a chance of winning something too! |

Brice, Congrats! I was not expecting it to arrive today so unfortunately the drawing for the two other winners of something yet to be announced will be tomorrow.
BUT,
In the meantime, I want to announce that there are TWO other winners of Fogtainers. Thru this entire project two members have contributed much time and effort to the project. This time and effort goes far beyond what we saw on the forum - so much goes on behind the scenes. Remember that old saying " a picture is worth a thousand words"? We have a saying here that is similar "If you don't have pictures it didn't happen!" Maybe from now on we can have a new saying: "If you have pictures - It CAN happen!"
Well, those two members were instrumental in the development and continuation of this project and have pestered me to death with questions about what else they could do to take a load off of me. Well, I have an answer for them finally.
Wayne and Jonathan. It seems that I will be getting some Fogtainers in the future, and I don't have room to keep a few. So, in recognition of your skills and efforts to make this project the sensational success that it has become, as fully evidenced by the comments of others here, I hope that you will enjoy your new Fogtainers as a thank you from all of us.
JONATHAN & WAYNE, CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations Brice! So well deserved, truly. Not only for catalyzing the Fogtainer project into a "retail" movement, but for all you contribute to this forum and we all benefit from. Congrats also to Wayne and Johnny. You guys have an alternative career in 3d modeling / CG content. I dunno if your pictures were worth a thousand words.. my jaw just dropped and I was kinda stunned quiet. |

Congrats Brice - well deserved in both your idea for such an event and overall contributions to the FOG.
Congrats also to Jonathan & Wayne as well. That was a nice, unexpected gesture Peter - good move and a testament to your always considering the other guy, and the next guy, and the next guy...

Thanks Neil and to everyone else. I'm so glad Jonny and Wayne will be getting Fogtainers of their own. BTW, the I Fogtainer 1 won't see a jobsite, I'd hate for it to get beat up. I plan to proudly display next to my desk that way it can keep an eye on the FOG. |

!!!!!!!!!! FREAK !!!!!!!!!! last night there was nothing on now a million posts, feels like i woke up a week later. CONGRATULATIONS Brice!! You really deserve the one and only FOGtainer I, without your idea i dont think anyone would have thought of actually getting this project up and running. Again thanks to Peter for making this experience so amazingly fun for all of us. Also for all the hard work that i dont think many people would have done. I cant imagine how much behind the scenes work you had to do, and still have to do. ( But like you said if there arnt any pictures it didnt happen ). And Im getting FOGtainers too!!! This week just gets better and better. THANKS A MILLION PETER. And congrats to Johny also, I hope you enjoy yours as much as im going to enjoy mine. |

Should have known it would be Brice... these rockstars get all the benefits Pun aside: I think you all deserve the extra attention and appreciation. Oh, and the prizes are welcome as well, I imagine. Great work guys, you can be proud of yourselves. Random note to all: Shouldn't Peter be awarded as well somehow? Regards, Job |

Congratulations guys on a well deserved win! Nice Blaklader shorts Brice! Next time you win you'll have to wear their kilt and mittens!
I think Peter should be awarded with a Festool position, something like Overseer of import for NAINA goods, Vice Big Cheese or something along those lines and maybe some stock in the company.

Thank you to everyone for participating in this project for so many months. It has been an enjoyable experience for me, and Kevin D. was correct in that my biggest enjoyment has been the way the members have embraced this idea and the way they have made it their own.
I had originally planned on a video of the drawing, but frankly, the trial runs were awful. So I am working on the post to come a little later tonight.
Were you expecting just two winners? WRONG!
Be back in a bit....

Well, at long last, it is time to do the drawing for the prizes in the Contest Brought to YOU by the Fogtainers. Originally I had planned to do a video, but after 5 trial runs and tripping over my tongue, I decided to do it this way. I took each legitimate entry in the thread and assigned it a number, which was written on a domino. Shane?s guess was excluded, but Corwin?s was allowed in the consolation drawing. Dots were entered onto the dominos that represented members who correctly guessed Brice as the recipient.  Here they are sorted out.  And placed into the drawing bowl  Welcome my lovely assistant Bethany who will be doing the drawing this evening.  Bethany draws. The winner is #31.  Here are the consolation entries in the drawing bowl.  Bethany Drawing again.  And the winner is?  Lucky #39  Congratulations numbers 31 and 39! You are the winners of this portion of the contest! But wait; there is the Bethany award. As someone who has lived thru this project and lived the highs and lows and has tried to scrape me off the ceiling at times, she was given the task to pick someone after reading the threads for whatever reason she came up with. Her choice? Well, she is still reading. Other winners are some of those who helped us achieve milestones in the purchase process. Congratulations to the winners! All of these members will be an integral part of the next fun project here. They will all be testers of prototypes. They will be asked to give feedback to me so that we can strive to hit an even bigger homerun next time. They will be asked to not share here on the forum what this next project is. The Winners Are:Winner of the Contest: #13 - Tom Bellemare!
Runner up: # 39 - Mac!
Bethany Award: Chris Meggersee!
A few benchmark award prizes: First order ? skylar !
250th ordered ? seth semenza !
Last Order in the Announced Timeframe ? Dan Claremont !Personally, I feel I have received far too much recognition in this whole project. Without Jonathan and Wayne, Festool USA, Tanos USA, Japan Woodworker, and most importantly ? YOU - this would have been a nothing. There are two other members who deserve recognition for acts that I can not disclose. OssieTim and Corwin - I offer the following: Your offers will come to be. You epitomize my wildest dreams of what the FOG can grow to be. There isn?t a prize that could stand up to your generosity and verve. So all I can ask is for you come join us in this next project . Congratulations to Tom, Mac, Chris, Skylar, Seth, Dan, OsiieTim, and Corwin!
And Congratulations to All of YOU! |

Wow! Little ole' me was the first order in? As someone who has voluntarily taken on large projects similar to this, I know what you mean by "hi's and low's" Peter. But seeing it through to completion is a truly great feeling. Thanks again to all who made this happen, it's things like this that make this the best forum with the best members on the web, period. I can't wait to see what's next Peter! Skylar |

Congrats to all the winners and a big thank you to Brice, Wayne, Jonathan, Peter and everyone who had a hand in the success of this project.
Also a thank you to Bethany.
Wayne, that trophy is very cool and Peter is well deserving of it! I wonder if we all pool our money together...

I'm afraid Peter would set up a new contest immediately, with the trophy as its prize.... |

Wayne, What can I say other than thanks! Your poor computer probably hates you about now . The next project will probably be hard to render though. I am looking forward to the next steps with the FOGtainers and also the next project. Who knows, maybe there will be another contest involved with that one? Peter |

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

Congrats to all you winners. Wayne, your renderings (and Woodworking ) skills are truly amazing.
The truth is, we are all winners for being a part of this great Forum.

Hello, At first, I missed this discussion, then I decided to wait until it was over to comment. My summer has been serioiusly busy with new projects, including taking care of a toddler. My selection, Matthew Schenker. Without all his work to get this place off the ground we wouldn't be here. I also agree that Peter, Wayne, and Matthew all deserve it. Peter, are you really multiple people? I also agree with Brice that a memento to Matthew as a small token of gratitude for making the FOG what it is would be very nice. Thank you Brice, Tom, and Neill for your nomination. But someone else can surely make more use of the prize. I have not had much time for woodworking these days! Besides -- and although this sounds corny I mean it absolutely -- the greatest prize for me is seeing this forum succeed. It's a private sense of success, but it really matters. And even though I have been somewhat silent since the transfer of ownership, I still tell everyone I know how great Festool is in all ways. Thank you so much for thinking of me. Matthew |

Taking care of the kids has been the best part of my life to date.
Have fun with the toddler, soon the kid will be asking for the car keys and staying out all night worrying the crap out of you. Then away to college and graduation and you will be lucky to see the kid once a month.
I have stayed home during the day with 4 of the 6 kids from baby on and wouldn't trade it for the world. One out of college, one in college, two in high school and two 8 year olds that are the last. What to do when the twins are grown?
Out of all the kids only the 8 year old girl shows any like and natural talent for woodworking, she is already designing me things in her little space in the workshop. She has a portfolio of over 100 designs! Start that kid young!

The one who says it can't be done should avoid interrupting the person doing it.

Nick,
I remember you talking about being home with the kids back a couple of years ago. I've got just one child -- and I waited until I was older! That means I am a little more tired, but on the other hand it means I had a prolonged period of non-parenthood in which to do things like, oh, let's say -- create a woodworking forum! Never would have done that if I had started a family 10 years ago. Everything in life balances out.
It's interesting, isn't it, how the FOG is weaved into the life stories of a lot of people here? Whether we had fun, or whether we had disagreements or even battles -- it's all part of our story now.
Hope all is well with you.
Thanks,
Matthew

Well, at long last, it is time to do the drawing for the prizes in the Contest Brought to YOU by the Fogtainers. Originally I had planned to do a video, but after 5 trial runs and tripping over my tongue, I decided to do it this way.
I took each legitimate entry in the thread and assigned it a number, which was written on a domino. Shane?s guess was excluded, but Corwin?s was allowed in the consolation drawing. Dots were entered onto the dominos that represented members who correctly guessed Brice as the recipient.
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
Here they are sorted out.
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
And placed into the drawing bowl
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
Welcome my lovely assistant Bethany who will be doing the drawing this evening.
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
Bethany draws. The winner is #31.
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
Here are the consolation entries in the drawing bowl.
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
Bethany Drawing again.
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
And the winner is?
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
Lucky #39
[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ]
Congratulations numbers 31 and 39! You are the winners of this portion of the contest!
But wait; there is the Bethany award. As someone who has lived thru this project and lived the highs and lows and has tried to scrape me off the ceiling at times, she was given the task to pick someone after reading the threads for whatever reason she came up with.
Her choice? Well, she is still reading.
Other winners are some of those who helped us achieve milestones in the purchase process.
Congratulations to the winners! All of these members will be an integral part of the next fun project here. They will all be testers of prototypes. They will be asked to give feedback to me so that we can strive to hit an even bigger homerun next time. They will be asked to not share here on the forum what this next project is.
The Winners Are:
Winner of the Contest: #13 - Tom Bellemare!
Runner up: # 39 - Mac!
Bethany Award: Chris Meggersee!
A few benchmark award prizes:
First order ? skylar !
250th ordered ? seth semenza !
Last Order in the Announced Timeframe ? Dan Claremont !
Personally, I feel I have received far too much recognition in this whole project. Without Jonathan and Wayne, Festool USA, Tanos USA, Japan Woodworker, and most importantly ? YOU - this would have been a nothing.
There are two other members who deserve recognition for acts that I can not disclose.
OssieTim and Corwin - I offer the following: Your offers will come to be. You epitomize my wildest dreams of what the FOG can grow to be. There isn?t a prize that could stand up to your generosity and verve. So all I can ask is for you come join us in this next project .
Congratulations to Tom, Mac, Chris, Skylar, Seth, Dan, OsiieTim, and Corwin!
And Congratulations to All of YOU!
Hey, cool! Nothing like good timing Looking forward to my FOGtainer set and whatever else Peter has in mind. Seth srs |

In the spirit of winning, anyone that sends me a tool order and in the comments section or by phone says, "You're a winner, Tom", will get a free t-shirt, hat or whatever so that they will be winners also.
I get in trouble if I raffle off a Kapex...
