Woodworker's Supply® proudly presents . . .
We would like to sincerely thank everyone who took part in our Solve A Woodworking Problem Contest! Ideas ranged from system improvements to performance upgrades to new tool concepts and were presented as simple, written descriptions all the way up to detailed CAD drawings. Entries came from across the United States and Puerto Rico from both professional and amateur woodworkers. Since the contest began, earlier this year, 30 members of our team spent over 500 man hours reviewing and rating the entries. The contest prize winners, whose winning solutions will remain confidential, include:
