Need my TBN Friends help

BloomingtonMike · Nov 25, 2008

Hi guys. Mike Heidrick (Deere 3320 owner - don't hold that against me please! LOL)

I need my TBN friends who can appreciate a hobbyist competeing against pros. I am in a Dewalt tools contest. I was to build a project competeing aginst the Top 17 finish carpenters Dewalt selected last September. The public then votes for their favorite project. I submitted as my project idea a 3-piece play kitchen for my daughter.

My project is here:
Mike Heidrick's Top 17 Contest Play Kitchen.

Now the voting has started.

If you like the play kitchen and can appreciate a Wood Working project for a kid I sure could use your vote. I worked pretty hard on this - during the weekends and at night as I have a full time 60+ hour regular job like many others here. Wood Working is my hobby along with my CUT.

Some of the pro contestants are playing up their professional years of experience and their other projects in the news papers and online - some feel they have this all bagged up.

That really gets to me and makes me want to show a hobbyist can perform just as well.

Sure could use some TBN support.

Please and thank you.

You can vote 3X a day per dewalt account from now till 12/14/2008. Signing in does not send spam and you will not be bothered by Dewalt.

Again, thanks.

Mikie

Wow, I don't know how you find time to do the woodworking and put together a website like that in addition to your job. Very impressive.

Mike,

Nice job on the Play Kitchen.

Did they give you some tools for this?

I went through the contenstants and looked at their projects, and while everyone is good with some quality work, Stan Foster and his curved staircases are just unbeivable. He's at a level that nobody else there is even close to!!!

Top 17 Finalists

I don't know of anything more difficult the making wood curve and attaching stuff it it. He makes it look easy and his joinery appears flawless. Whatever he charges, he's worth it.

got my vote...cute kid, great work and TBN memeber wins out. Although I agree that the curved staircase is unreal.

Great shop BTW I thought I had a lot of stuff in my garage...

You guys do not know how nice it is to read the kind positive comments.

All the top 17 competitors are awesome and most of the submitted projects are just outstanding.

A few forums are upset at my entry in the contest! LOL

THANKS so much for the support so far. Come on 12/15!
