You should contact Jeff through James to let him know. He probably has an old entry just lying around.

Hi There!
I don't have any old puzzles lying around, but I do have a couple of plans yet to be implemented. If I can get my kitchen cabinets done, I'll spend some time on one of the puzzle boxes and submit to the competition.

Hi Jeff,
Welcome to the forum. So far I have had exactly ZERO interest in, or feedback on the contest, so its existance is in jeopardy. We'll see how things work out. Right now you could send in a paper airplane and claim first prize.

Eric,
Well consider this my notification of intent to enter! I promise I'll do better than a paper airplane. I should get the kitchen done by the end of July; I'll finish a box by the end of August and ship it off!

Sounds good, but if I receive less than 8-10 entries, the whole deal will probably be cancelled. I'll come up with some kind of consolation prize in that event.

Eric,
I hope you're able to attract some other puzzle makers! I think the contest is a great idea.
I'll make mention of the contest on the Fine Woodworking web site - maybe we can stir up some additional interest.

When you know how the magic works, you cast the spell that brings a smile of mystification. When you don't know the sleight of hand, the trick of the eye, beware: what you see is what you don't get.

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate that. I had high hopes as well but honestly have run into a wall when it comes to promoting the contest. I've posted on a few woodworking forums but have received no interest. I thought the prizes were pretty generous ('specially since the cash is coming out of my pocket!)....I mean, c'mon! $500 bucks is like 9 gallons or gas or something!

Once the IPP is over, things will no doubt change. |

Eric, I would encourage you to hang in there with the contest as well. I had mentioned the contest to a number of others when the contest was first announced, and I know at least 2 more were interested. I think there are more interested who just haven't spoken up yet.
