Just curious, but would this level of customisation be available for the people who didn't win but wish to do the unoffical contest afterwards?

For the moment -yes.

I now have all the requirements in fom the contestants and will send the kits out tomorrow.

Good luck and I look forward to seeing the results.

Received my kit today...downloaded the instructions...wish me luck!

Well the progress report so far is that all has been very quiet on the email questions front so I assume that everyone is getting one fine with the one exception entrant who has had to drop out due to other commitments; so it is down to four.

Tim Eagling has started a blog so there may be some progress pictures in due course http://timmysconflictinginterests.blogspot.co...oject.html

There is about 12-14 days left to run before we get to see whats what.

I'm still figuring mine out. :eek: But, I hope to have it done by the end of the weekend.

I'm not in the contest :cry: but I finished my knife yesterday. Great kit, great instructions and great fun! Hope to start the scabbard/sheath next week. Won't post here until after the end of the contest, if at all.

I was hoping to have some in progress pictures to post up to whet our appetites, but none so far.

I have however asked if everyone can be ready to send me pictures of their finished pieces next Monday, so they have the weekend and then we will see..........

I am looking forward to this.

Regards

Tod

Here is the first knife hot off the press.

Excellent!

I was feeling a little down tonight having totally failed to stop a kitchen tap leaking - now having seen what you can make from what, to me, seems like a collection of scraps and unidentifiable bits of wood, I feel totally despondent. I could not do that in a million years.

It must be very satisfying to be so creative!

Mine is nearly completed - here are "in progress" pics:

Sorry, that its on FB - uploaded from my phone.

I know that I won't win - but I had a great time working on this project!

Here are the pictures that I sent to Tod:

Hello everyone,

Below is a link to progress and finished pictures of my contest knife. Tod has my final entry pictures. Making the eating knife was great fun.
