I’ve been running a little contest on my Facebook page with the idea of highlighting creativity in workbenches, jigs, and/or storage. Take a look at the album here and click on the like button for each one you do, in fact, like. The one with the most likes on Dec. 15 will receive a prize.
This may turn into a monthly contest, so stay tuned!
