since lots of the members are into woodworking as I am, I decided I start a small contest. so far I have garnered several prizes from generous people and institutions.
From Bosch Phils. (our ever supportive Mr. Golden Maranan) we have three router bits...
and from Panda (thru our good friend Mr. Edward Sy) we have a set of Gator clamps.
there might still be prizes to come but until then, there will only be two top prizes to be won.

No, you can start with a fresh board and start anew. btw, you do have to post "I'm in" to join...
lets see some creativity and imagination... plenty of things can be done with this board size. No. exotic wood please. only Tanguille is allowed.
4 members can even share one 8 foot board to save money.
remember the tools you have should not be a limit of what you can achieve...
