I hope that all of you that participated in the Hand Tool Olympics had a good time. We do our best to enter everything accurately. Keep in mind that this is for fun. Prizes were awarded to the winning conference attendee in each event and raffled to a conference attendee that participated in an event.
A big thank you to Bad Axe Tool Works for the donation of two tenon saws
to Lee Valley for the donation of 2 bevel up jointing planes
to Jim Bode tools for the donation of two 2101 Stanley/Yankee braces
to Ron Herman for two Crosscut and two Rip saws, nicely refurbished
To JCP Toolworks for two sets of of chisels
and to Klaus and Pedder for the loan of 2 fine dovetail saws.
I would also like to thank my crew of people that helped run the event,it wouldn't happen without them, Jim Van Hoven, Dean Jansa, Tom Howard, Steve Schwabacher and Jeff Hand. Thanks too to Tom Iovino and Emily Bonham-Owen for helping out.
The name of the event will be highlighted in black. The scores are based on a combination of time and the number of cards the judge could fit in to gaps in that particular event. If you really need to know a time and score I can look them up if you e-mail me. Mike
