Yikes - I've been outed [scared]!

So not only did I have to graduate from being a lurker...which I'd done prior to this thread's start....but also to being a member who has to create substantive posts - of which I deem this one NOT...[eek]

Holy Nakashima, what's a poor wood butcher to do ???

Anyway, instead of two winners a choice of one year of either FW or FH....howzabout one winner two years of both!  I like that much better, at least if I were to win it...... ;D

I promise something more substantive down the road......

AR, welcome to the forum. You drive a tough bargain. How about I throw in a free limited edition Festool beer stein to each of the winners to sweeten the pot?

Also, special thanks to our friends at Taunton for donating the magazine subscriptions and for their collaborative effort on promoting our $10,000 Ultimate System Sweepstakes earlier this year.  Visit http://www.taunton.com to learning more about the "fine" publications offered by them.

Shane hasn't had an opportunity to update this list - he has been working on some REALLY cool secret stuff.

The end of the month is quickly approaching.  If you are a new member in North America - don't forget to make three posts in accordance with the rules by the end of the month to be entered into the contest for a free subscription.  If you are a visitor - sign up now.  The rules are at the top of this thread!

 

[Administrator_JSVN]

Tick tock, tick tock. Time is running out.  Sign up for a free account and make a few posts for your chance to win a free annual magazine subscription.

 

[Administrator_JSVN]

Calling all members who signed up for a forum account in August!  This is your final reminder to get at least three posts in before tomorrow night at midnight for your chance to be entered into our drawing.  Good luck to you all.

 

[peter halle]

For those who haven't seen or read either Fine Homebuilding or Fine Homebuilding magazines - they are top notch!  I have a collection going back to around 1986 and I use them for reference all the time.

Well worth the wear on your fingertips for a chance to get a years worth!

 

[peter halle]

About 1.5 hours left. Tick,tick,tick...

Talk it up for a subscription!

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who participated. We had an overall increase in new members this month, which is a positive thing.  Our winners were randomly selected from those who qualified by signing up for a new forum account in the month of August and making at least three posts.

We're glad to have all of the new members who signed up in August, welcome!

Congratulations to the winners.  In regards to the beer stein, I just received one for another FOG contest, and it is very nice.  Just note that there is a little glue on sticker on the inside of the soft aluminum flip lid.  Don't use a scouring pad to try to remove, as it will scratch the finish.  Get something like Citrus Solve to remove it with an abrasive free cloth/towel.

It might actually be a good thing to include this kind of instruction with the mugs Shane.  I scratched mine notrealizing how soft the metal was, but luckily noticed it quickly before it became major. [sad]

Wow! Holy smokes.

Boy-o-boy, this ranks right up there with that time I won the Powerball.  You know, what enabled me to start drinking the green Kool-aid....or rather, to start being able to afford to....[unsure]

Thank you, everybody.   Now, do Slyder and I have to arm-wrestle ourselves to determine which of us gets FH and which FWW?  I have a slight preference for FWW...... (I subscribed from Vol. 1 through about 120, but have let it lapse for the last decade....)

THANKS AGAIN!
