We Have A Winner!
Congratulations to Jerry Spring, the lucky winner of our Cool Joke Challenge. Jerry will be receiving an LED cube kit complete with the matrix assembly jig and acrylic case kit.
(Valued at nearly $110)
If you're just a little bit jealous of Jerry, you can get even by sending in your entry for the Workbench Challenge, which will greatly increase your chances of winning, since you have to enter to win. Even if you don't care about such things as prizes, here are 5 reasons you should still enter.
Selfless Reasons
- Help a newbie get started putting their bench together and embark on a fascinating and rewarding hobby.
- Share your expertise with others so they can gain valuable insight from your knowledge and experience.
Selfish Reasons
(not judging)
- Add your name to our growing list of winners who have won stuff. (You would be the second since Jerry was first.)
- Show off your awesome workbench so others will see just how awesome you really are.
- Become a household name in the field of workbench technology.
Now that you have plenty of reasons to enter, go to the Workbench Challenge block below, get the details, then do it!
Then, be sure to go check out ServoCity's big sale (see ad below) and other great products since they were good enough to sponsor all this for another week!
That's it, Enjoy!
