The Bailey's Pigroast chainsaw door prize. We're giving it away again!

[Jeff]

The winner of the Chainsaw that Bailey's donated for a Forum door prize has decided that she really does not need a saw and it was just not right for her to keep it, so Carol and Joe Wade wanted to donate it back to the Forestry Forum for us to do with as we see fit. It has been decided that we should give it away on the Forum.  I've not decided how, but I'm entertaining ideas. I have no intentions of this being a fund raiser, so those type of idears are out. ;)

[UPDATE]

Contest has started. Details can be found here!

pick a number?

how about narrowing the field by a chainsaw saftey test?

the one to solicit the most blocks for the cabin's porch ceiling?

[Cedarman]

Some sort of random drawing of those that meet whatever eligability requirement that there might be.

[fuzzybear]

   How about every member who has been active in the last 30 days gets their names thrown into a hat?

[gunman63]

raffle or auction........... procedes to a charity

[red oaks lumber]

funny story about that. last week i ran my ms660 over with the skidsteer(9300lbs) not much left worth fixin :(
so i think i would flunk chainsaw saftey ;D

[beenthere]

At a minimum, I'd say it should go to one of those who made it to the Piggy roast.  That was the intention, I'm thinking. ;)

[gunman63]

I thought it was given as a door prize, and those people  have  gave gracusiously(sp) gave it back. problem being if i won  a raffle, jeff would have to give it away again.

ouch. i happen to know what one of those costs. ouch!!!!

or is this another sign to speed up that retirement thing you were talking about?  pc

[Magicman]

At a minimum, I'd say it should go to one of those who made it to the Piggy roast.  That was the intention, I'm thinking. ;) 

But, there are many active and contributing members that for economic, job, family, or other reasons beyond their control, they were not able to attend.

I would think that something along fuzzybear's idea would be appropriate.

[fishpharmer]

I agree.

[Woodhauler]

Yes you should redraw names from those who was at the pig roast and did not win a prize.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I was not at the pig roast, but I think the fair thing to do is to give the others a chance to win the saw who were at the pig roast.
So I agree with Woodhauler.

[Roxie]

How many ceiling tiles do you still need?  I like the idea of giving those that haven't made them yet to get them in, and then draw a name from the tiles. 

I'm just expounding on the Paul Case suggestion. 

[Jeff]

I don't think the members that were at the pigroast would begrudge others to be able to participate in a new drawing or contest.

This will be a new chance with a slightly recycled (but still new and unused) prize.

[isawlogs]

I,ll back up what ever you decide to do with how the saw goes  ;)    

[Meadows Miller]

Gday

Well I am happy with whatever you decide Jeff  ;) But I would just pick a day and the first new member gets a Welome to The Forum with and you have won a new chainsaw ;) ;) ;D 8)

I think everyone present at the pigroast got several nice gifts.  There was gobs of stuff, enough for everyone several times over.

[martyinmi]

Jeff-
   I'm thinking that the saw should remain in your (our) state 8) My kid, who's 9 now, saw that saw (pun intended) and immediately thought he needed it. So, we will happily send you the postage amount necessary to ship it 75 miles due south to St. Johns, or we will also entertain our only other feasible option- we will bribe you(money,food, cord of wood, what ever it takes)! My son's thoughts on the subject were that it should find it's home with someone who's birthday is in February. Wouldn't ya know, both our birthdays are in February! As you can plainly see, the only logical place for that saw would be with me and my family :P She would be in the company of 3 Stihls, 2 Mac's, and a Poulan, as well as a 35 ton TSC splitter.

As per Paul Case and Roxie ...

Use a random drawing from all the ceiling tiles that you've received by September 15. That should get the ceiling finished.

[Coon]

Well, my tile will be on it's way shortly.  I just sawed the perfect piece today.... spalted manitoba maple (box elder to you southern folks  ;) )  So ya I say the ceiling tiles idea would be the best idear as long as mine arrives at it's destination prior to the deadline.   ;D  Guess I had better look up Da Boss' address from the post.   ;)  Block will be on the way this week.  I will let you know when it leaves "Sasquatchland" so we can all track how long it takes.   :D 

[thecfarm]

Have a drawing for the ones that don't like grits.  ;D  Whatever you want to do with it is fine by me. 

[Chuck White]

How about writing down the names that are on the blocks we've sent for your porch ceiling and put the names in a bucket shake it and have the youngest or oldest person present draw one name from the bucket.

Winner....... Ta dah  ;D

[Jeff]

Okay, the ceiling squares are the ticket. I'll start a separate thread announcing the contest on this giving people that have not sent a block to still have a chance to do so.
