\"Prizes<\/a>

The top three entries in this contest win some fantastic tools from our fine vendors.<\/p><\/div>\n

I really hope you spend more than a few minutes browsing the gallery of marvelous projects below. The 99 lidded boxes you’ll see are the entries in our latest woodworking contest, and we’d sure like your help picking the best ones. No doubt, it might be overwhelming. 99 boxes is a lot of boxes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We set two requirements:\u00a01).\u00a0the boxes must be no larger than 16″, and 2). they must have a lid. With that, these woodworkers\u00a0sauntered to their shops\u00a0and created some stunning work.<\/p>\n

You’ll find triangle boxes, hinged boxes, sliding lid boxes, one “secret puzzle” locking box, several turnings, dovetail joints, a few scroll-sawn boxes, some with fancy exotic woods, others with reclaimed and repurposed materials, and dozens of others that’ll simply blow your mind. The boxes are made by\u00a0hobbyist woodworkers who, as you’ll see, have some fascinating skills that should be celebrated. So that’s what we’re going to do.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, March 21 at 5:00 there’s going to be an awards ceremony and maker reception at Practical Art<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(Central & Camelback in downtown Phoenix) – if you can be there, you should! There’s nothing quite like getting to see these great looking projects up close. In fact, there are more than a few pictures below that just can’t convey the detail, artistry, and well-honed skill that went into creating the boxes. Come see these in person if you can, we’re collecting votes for your favorite three entries at Practical Art. (If you can’t come on Saturday,\u00a0try to swing by anytime this week between 11:00 am and 7:00 pm – it’s open.)<\/p>\n

First Place: Tormek T-4 wet sharpener
\nSecond Place: Wilton Tradesmen Vise
\nThird Place: Tenryu Gold Medal 10″ Table Saw Blade
\n+ more prizes<\/p>\n
