🧠 What’s the One Project You Keep Saying You’ll Build ‘Someday’? (Win $100 Gift Card!)
Every woodworker has that dream build — a workbench upgrade, a rocking chair, maybe even a canoe. You’ve got the plans, maybe even the wood… but somehow “someday” keeps getting pushed back. What’s that project you can’t stop thinking about but haven’t started yet? 🏆 Prize: $100 Sawinery Gift Card (maybe this will be the nudge to finally start!) 📅 Winner announced on December 8! 📍 Open to U.S. customers only (for now). We’re working on making them available in more locations soon!

I have been wanting to build my wife a desk, made from walnut, and finished so smooth she will never stop talking about the desk. This idea has been brewing in my mind since 2015. I now have the wood, milled and kiln treated and ready for the opportunity.

Tell us what it is and why it’s earned a permanent spot on your bench! 🏆 Prize: $100 Sawinery Gift Card (a great excuse to grab another shop essential 😄) 📅 Winner announced on November 10!

My 6 inch machinist rule. Accurate, easy to read, and so useful in so many jobs.

I moved from joinery to sharpening my tools back to joinery and once again working on proper sharpening of chisel and plane blades. There is a great deal of satisfaction in using nice sharp hand tools but sharpening is a skill I need to work on to achieve that good edge.
🦺 What’s the One Safety Tip You Always Follow (or Wish You Did)? (Win $100 Gift Card!)
Woodworking is rewarding, but safety is always part of the craft. Everyone has that one habit or rule that helps them stay safe — or one they know they should follow. We’d love to build a collection of those hard-won insights. Share the safety tip you live by (or the one you wish you always remembered) in the comments below! 🏆 Prize: $100 Sawinery Gift Card (aka guilt-free tool money 😉) 📅 Winner announced on October 6!

Act like your an airplane pilot and go through a check list before applying power, then and only then you can make your cut. Eyes on the prize!
🔨 What’s the Tool You’d Recommend to Every Beginner? (Win $100 Gift Card!)
Every woodworker started somewhere — and for most beginners, there’s that one tool that makes everything click. Maybe it’s a good set of chisels that taught you precision, a sturdy workbench that changed your workflow, or a random orbital sander that made finishing feel effortless. What’s the one tool you think every beginner should have in their shop? Tell us in the comments (and feel free to share why it’s a must-have)! 🏆 Prize: $100 Sawinery Gift Card (perfect for picking up your next favorite tool 😉) 📅 Winner announced on October 27!

A circular saw is one of the more versatile tools to start to make saw dust, and out of that cloud of dust emerges something you made. Most beginners won't start with high cost items and good hand tools is where they should start. But, to pick just one is a tough call.
