It's time again for another swap. GR8HUNTER is finishing up the surprise swap now(which was great surpriseswap2020 check it out if you havent) and we have all decided to move on to another. In regular standing, I have completely ripped off the theme intro, rules, etc. format from the previous swap. I would hate to break tradition here.
The theme for this swap is a turning or box swap. Anythong you can make on a lathe is game. For those who dont have lathes there are ways to make pens/pencils or holders without a lathe but you can also make boxes for this swap. I was going to limit the size but that's just going to hinder one's imagination.
A Note: This is in no way officially sponsored by, run by, or otherwise tied to "LumberJocks" as a company or organization, or to any of the parent or sibling holdings thereof. It is simply run by those of us who participate on LumberJocks.
Basic Details
If you have not participated in one of our LumberJocks Shop Made Swaps before, Welcome! It's relatively simple; each participant makes their swap item(s) and will get a name and address via e-mail a few weeks before the shipping deadline to where they will be mailing their entry. Postage is to be paid by the sender. The LumberJock who you're shipping to, as well as the one who is shipping to you, will be completely random. Unless there are special circumstances - like the need for international shipping - I will not influence who anyone is paired with.
Rules for this swap
- Teaser shots are allowed, but please do not post full in-progress or finished pictures until after the reveal date. Remember we want everyone to be surprised when they receive their package!
- A progress pic (sent to me) will be required NO LATER THAN the due date listed near the end of this post. The progress pic needs to show that you've put sufficient time and work into the project to be able to complete it by the ship date. I know things come up so if you don't have a progress pic by the required date but are confident you'll still be able to complete your tool(s) by the ship date, just e-mail me BEFORE the progress pic due date and we'll make arrangements. Anyone who doesn't e-mail me a progress pic or let me know why they haven't by 11:59 pm EDT on the due date WILL BE DROPPED from the list of participants.
What we're making
I can't believe some of the amazing work I see come out of these swaps . I volunteered like a dummy to run it :<))
The theme for this swap is turning or boxes.
Bonus Items are completely optional and are not in any way required or expected. In past swaps, some folks include an extra "goody" along with their swap items. Bonus items do not have to be related to the swap theme, or even woodworking for that matter. If you like to make dice mallets and want to include one go ahead. Maybe you brew your own beer and want to send your recipient a bottle or twelve, go for it! Nobody's expecting anything other than swap items though, so don't feel any obligation whatsoever to add anything extra. It's just something that I think has kind of evolved in past swaps so I wanted to address it up front.
Also include a letter in your package telling the recipient about the wood and project.
How to sign up

- LumberJocks Username

Also post in the thread that you want to participate so I make sure to see you. Also like you to pop into the thread and post something from time to time so we know you're still around.
