[Alaska]

Well, that teaches me to read the small print befor jumping in with both feet. I joined up earlier this weekend and started posting and adding some projects. At post number 11 currently with a small hobby project posted as well as the first part of a custom welding table. So - I am in, although a bit late but will build up some speed.

Thanks for this opporunity! Even though I alread purchased a PowerPlasma 60 and will be picking up the 250EX soon from Ray I have my eyes on a straiget ARC welder, something to replace my old HEAVY tumbstone with. Thinking the 200.

Well count me in with 419 posts...

Well up to 523 posts.. and one F/B contest share on 8/19

Man this has gone by fast... I have been pretty busy lately...

[EmptyNester]

I haven't be on the forums in a while - I was to busy with work and finishing the hovercraft.

But I'm getting back to doing some metal working now. I'm starting a CNC table build - so I'm in at 100.

It's only fitting that as the contest is finishing I am finishing the CNC Table for my Power Plasma 50. I started it at the beginning of the contest and just did my first cut tonight. Couldn't have done it as quickly or as well without the help of the great folks on this forum.

I'm at 222 posts now and I have two project entries:
the

• CNC table: http://www.everlastgenerators.com/fo...ools-CNC-Table

• Hovercraft Exhaust: http://www.everlastgenerators.com/fo...for-Hovercraft

I did another mini-project for the hovercraft, but that's in the same category (offroad) so I won't take credit for that one.

My "non-project" project that's ongoing is the Arduino based THC. If that works well - it will be cool.

[DaveO]

I am joining the contest! This will be post #567.

I'm camping with the Cub Scouts this weekend so I'll summarize early too: qualified on post count- now at 672, just made it.

[redbeard]

Might as well call it too, start at 379, this one should be 500 on the nose. No time for any worthy projects, just the FB bonus for a total of 2 again.

That should put me at 11 entries.

Good luck everyone and THANK YOU Everlast for the opportunity to be part of this contest.

It has been a lot of fun and I have learned a lot. Looking forward to the next contest as well.

One suggestion, on the next contest let youtube videos count toward the media sharing part. They have more potential exposure than facebook/tweeter posts.

Count me in with 246 posts. I have a handful of projects coming up, some tractor repairs and customizations on a Peterbilt, some shop tools for sheet metal work, cart modification/build (my old one doesn't work as well as I'd like for the two welders) custom sheet metal for my chopper project, some pieces for around the house, etc.

Have my new 200DX, so I have a lot lined up to run with it.

Well, between work, health and non-welding projects I fell short of my goal. Didn't get my new cart started beyond concept and mock-up, maybe it can be used in another contest later.

Hit my 100 posts this one should make 347.

One project, not sure if it should be general repair or automotive, I posted it in general repair: http://www.everlastgenerators.com/fo...epair-(re-run)

I also "liked" on my family/work Facebook account.

That should have me in for 3 entries, hopefully I'll be a bit more productive next round.

Looks like I forgot a project, but I think it falls in the same General Repair category, so no extra entry

Ok, so I have to ask... when will we hear?
