[sorce]

Why would you not enter?

Some sort of self conflict of interest.

Since I already have one, if I do enter and win I'll give you one.

Thanks for displaying the righteousness this Contest is based upon!

You....Are the man!

I'm really confused on this contest- so many thread and rules keep changing. I like the prizes but not sure where to post and ez to read rules

I apologize for any confusion.

That thread is set to be wiped clean of entries so that you can follow the proper entry format I posted.

Just letting you know....

I am still talking with Another Sponsor.

Communications are a bit slow for a couple of reasons...

That's the only hint I can give to keep you guessing excitedly!

Also....

I can't make any promises....
But I am working on Special Prizes Specifically for Newbs!

I've been getting worried that no one is going to enter!

Then I remember how awesome these prizes are!

Even though there has been several bumps and much confusion, I really appreciate the effort that has been put into this by sorce and the sponsors. Its a really great opportunity.


I'm going today to look for my entry... Hopefully I can find something!

 

[sorce]

appreciate the effort

Thanks Joe!

I apologize for any confusion.

Little from the Who's In thread actually made it to the Contest.

Understanding that should help understand how easy it really is to participate.

Nice!

But I meant rules and information....

Little of what was talked about is IN the Rules....
I realized too many rules just disallow everyone from participating.

Now...

FEW from that thread, as in people, have made it to the Contest page...

But I appreciate Attention to Detail...
So please take your time!

We do have an acceptable entry up.

From here on.
Anyone close to the proper entry format will be left.

Accidental "pre-entry" posts...
Will be moved to the Who's In thread.

Bogus comments will be deleted.
(any non entry comment is bogus!)

There is no clarity in Chaos...

Have fun!

Decisions Decisions....

You are more than welcome to post pics and ask questions...

Though I would prefer you put them in the Who's In thread.



That Said.


I think tomorrow morning I will get the Actual Conformation Email from our yet unnamed sponsor.


Stay tuned!

Good Morning, Evening, or whatever time it is where you are.....

It is about 6 A.M. here CST.
About 8 P.M. where our next prize will ship from......

It has been No less exciting every morning I found I have received an email with this subject line....


You didn't think I was going to run a Contest without support from the Motherland did you!?

Of Sekishi City in the Gifu Prefecture of Japan!

Mr. Masashi Nishimura has donated a steel contest prize in the form of this....


Yes! Please Thank and Welcome our next Sponsor, Kaneshin Cutlery Mfg. Co. Ltd.!!!

A better look?


Have a read and feel free to browse for other Very Well Made tools here....

I can not tell you enough about how easy it is to shop with Mr. Nishimura at Kaneshin.

When I placed my first order I had concerns about International Shipping, taxes, conversion, etc.
I sent Mr. Nishimura an email with the products I wanted to purchase, and he returned my email with an exact total for each of 3 different shipping methods.
I selected one, payed through Paypal, and my goods arrived on time and with no extra costs at all!

Please, if you are looking for quality tools, at excellent prices, shop Kaneshin direct.
You will not be disappointed!

...............

As soon as I realized International Shipping was a must for at least some of these prizes, I took a look at where Kaneshin shipped and found Oman.

Oman, New Zealand, South Africa, Cost Rica.........

It doesn't matter where you BonsaiNut!

You too can win!

Thanks Mr. Nishimura!
