    Default Pallet Challenge 2015 - Show Your Support

    The pallet challenge for 2015 entry closing date is on the 19th of July.

    According to the replies within the thread here the following members will be submitting an entry.

    wireliner
    fletty
    labr@
    Pirate323i
    fields
    Canoath
    shanesmith80
    Toymaker Len
    Eowyn
    Rod T
    RoyG
    asheddie
    Fuzzie
    Evanism
    MrPete
    Xcruiser
    Tritonitis
    mickgallagher

    That's a total of 18 people who have put up their hand to have a go at creating something from a pallet.

    During the 2000 Para Olympics I was fortunate enough to attend the closing ceremony. One of the last events was the long distance race. One thing that I noticed and not that uncommon in Australia is when the person coming in first was cheered loudly it also occurred just as loudly when the person coming in last.

    So that being said, I would like to invite the members of the forum to show your support by replying to this thread encouraging these competitors in completing their projects.

    Grabbed a few moments while grandsons are at the park with Nana heard there was a Pallet Challenge in progress.

    Looking at the list of names seems a great line up of minds and skills so the results should be stunning.

    I feel for the guys doing it though their age slows em down some, those still employed meaning they only get what free time they have after doing chores, family etc.
    Those with family commitments such as sport, the school holidays and caring for grand kids. Holiday time with the kid etc I hope its to a warmer climate.

    Its winter which means Snow season which means it bloody cold out in the shed (mine is 8C until late afternoon for about 15mins) and so is all the tools and machines. A greater time for injury as skin tears so be careful gents and ladies. Remember if your head doesn't feel like getting out of bed neither should it feel like entering a shed.

    Go for it fellas, show us what you can do

    Procrastination has kept me out of this year's challenge but I'm determined that next year I'm in... or at least to come up with a less shameful excuse.

    Whoa there fella!

    The competition judging post says "The poll will be open from the day the photo thread is up and will close at 6pm on Thursday, 30th of July 2015." so we'll have to wait a bit longer than that.

    We'll all have no fingernails left by then .
