Match the Shop now open!

Sorry for the delay (office computer decided 10 years was enough, didn't want to play anymore!) I have adjusted the closing date to allow a full week! New closing date is Friday the 18th at noon EST.

Thanks
Jon

Jon, if we entered a shop pic, are we allowed to play or not? How many entries May one member submit?

Glad you have a happy computer now!

The 18th is not Friday, it is a Tuesday. Did you mean Friday the 14th or Tuesday the 18th?
 
Mine's in too - probably too late to win a prize (assuming I got them all right), but it was fun trying to figure them out.

I'd have gotten my finished sooner if my boss hadn't insisted that I do some productive work today.
 
Honestly I don't know any. But, you folks make some HUGE pens. How do you get around with them just sort of hanging there in mid air?
 
Well, apparently I have to come up with something more challenging for next year! Three of the first four entries submitted had all of the shops correct, including the Mystery Shop.

The big winners:

1st: lyonsacc , Dave Lyons: Burls/acrylic blanks from Displaced Canadian and Glues fromSatellite City instant glues value $40

2nd: walshjp17, John Walsh: Gift Certificate from Lee Valley value $50 and box of blanks from edohmann

3rd Mason Kuettel: Glues from Satellite City instant glues value $40 and 16 oz casting kit from Alumilite value $20

Random.org offered up the magic number 15 for the added random drawing, the 15th entry received was from Mike Powell, congrats!

Mike, Please forward me your mailing info and your choice of 1) a box of blanks or 2) a couple nice blanks….quantity or quality…the choice is yours!

ManyThanks to all who submitted pictures of their shops…I believe the variety shows that beautiful pens can come from a lathe on a bench or a mad scientist's lab…the end results can all be fantastic!

The correct listing:
1 Gimpy's
2 Wooden_Pen_Turner_11
3 Tellico Turnings
4 Edohmann
5 Robert Sherlock
6 OLDMAN5050
7 Charlie_W
8 sschering
9 Alan Kulwicki7
10 Skiprat (Mystery Shop)
11 Bob Wemm

Thanks to all for playing!

Ill put money on I didnt get one of them right! But a box of blanks it is for me... Thanks GoodTurns.

PM has been sent with the info requested.

If I could ask a huge favor, I still have a couple of months before I get home, could you mark what the blanks are please?
 
Jon,

Thanks for running this contest. Sending PM to all who need my address.

Once again, well done and thanks to you and those who donated prizes -- Ed Dohmann & Lee Valley. Woo-hoo!!:biggrin::biggrin:

Thanks for running this contest! I didn't have time to do this last year, but being iced in for a spell gave me the opportunity this year and I liked getting to do a little investigating. Guess it paid off! Thanks again!
