You are jumping the gun Obi. Martin will get something posted on the welcome page. We don't have all of the particulars as to finish dates etc.

 

Oh well … we can still have the challenge if it's only between you and I. there doesn't have to be any prizes … looks like all the other jocks are skeered anyways. Besides this is MY blog and I'll lie if I want to, lie if I want to, lie if I want to, it's my blog and I'll lie if I want to… (you know the rest of the song)

 

I didn't say that there wouldn't be any prizes, I just said that there wouldn't be any winners.

 

I'm famous for jumping the gun, Karson. It's called walking by faith. IS there a door? Is it open? If not kick it in and see whats behind it. Besides, it's easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission.

 

If you recall I stuck a Lumberjocks logo on my website without asking. Tell the world that there's a race and someone will show up. I expect Mark to put down his M&M's long enough to build a table. Dick will build anything, I'm sure he can build one. If Dusty has gotten out of jail for freezin that poor old woman to death, I'll bet he's in …

 

Hopefully we'll get all of the particulars out in a day or two. And then we can get to work.

But just to let you know you are probably behind because I've cut all the rough pieces and glued up the top. (Not the breadboards yet)

 

Mark told me he was in when I talked to him last week. I sent him the PDF last week. he doesn't get PW.

 

I figure it'll take at least a week… I'm still working on the $1,200.00 coffee table. I probably wont get started on this til tomorrow. But I gotta warn ya, Karson, I bought a Hunnerd Dollar Board just for this…

 

WHAT?? you started without me? whatta dog. What kinda wood you using?

 

What do you guess about 10 - 12 Bd ft of wood.

 

This maybe the preliminary, depending if I like it or not.

Just something that I had laying around. (not pine, I don't have pine laying around.)

 

Dont use crap sticks, I bought a Hunnerd Doller Board for this fight. You better be bustin out with your best "David Marks" style stash.

 

I'm going to get my two son's to make one also. And if I like their's better, I might say It's my wood so I'll trade you. No where in the rules is it going to say you can only make one anyways. Besides I'm making up the rules.

 

No … Make as many as you want, I'm making two and submitting the best one. But the rules are
1. yOU GOTTA MAKE IT AND GOD IS WATCHING.

 

You bet, I'm going for the stash, but I don't know which one will look better. This is no crap sticks. It's imported Dude. But just laying around. Besides anything left on the property when I die, will probably be sold at garage sale disaster prices. So I might as well use it in the challenge.

There's not enough there to build an entertainment center. And it's tough to pick up one board, little lone a completed project.

 

I didn't see that rule in what I submitted to Martin.

 

Well if that's the case I could buy the thing from David Marks and say it was mine… although mine will look better than David Marks.

 

Rule adjustment coming.

 

Any tools you have now at your disposal …
All jigs are acceptable
that table looks like three different sizes of wood
holes in the aprons are optional
dowels are optional
sizes are optional (can be taller, wider, longer)

 

Everything is optional. Drawers, no drawers, carvings, woodburning, minature, fullsize or larger, Rustic or tradational. Attached to a bed or to a sofa, sitting in front of a TV holding the remotes. Everyone, and I request "EVERYONE" should attempt to make something and call it a Green and Greene side table (SOMETHING)

 

That wasnt the Green and Green thing was it?

 

HOLD THE PHONE… ARE WE LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT TABLES?

 

Duh! It's the picture you posted.

 

iI was looking at the one on the front page
