The guys pictured here are not Woodworking’s Most Wanted. But if you can answer questions about them, the payoff might be big. The contest is under way.
The Rules
The contest opened with last night’s Wood Talk Online show. The trivia questions are about Marc Spagnuolo, Matt Vanderlist, Chris Schwarz, Chuck Bender, Bob Lang and Glen Huey. All of the answers to the questions can be found somewhere on any of the websites (check the blogs first, but don’t forget Popular Woodworking‘s article index).
Entries must be emailed to WoodTalkOnline@acanthus.com by 5 p.m. on March 10, 2009. I’m sure most of you will dig up the correct answers, so in the event of multiple entries with all correct answers, a random drawing from those entries determines the winner. The winner is announced on the next Wood Talk Online episode.
The Prize
The winner will choose a free weekend Fundamentals class at The Acanthus Workshop (all materials included) and $200 toward travel and lodging expenses. Basically, that’s a free class depending on where you originate.
For information on the Fundamentals class and schedule at Acanthus, click here. And if you missed the episode last night, go to Wood Talk Online and download or listen to the podcast , it’s episode 51.
