The Bookcase Challenge is now official!
Lumberjocks, in partnership with Popular Woodworking, have given us this brand-new challenge: Design a bookcase we could build in our shop, win, and get published in Popular Woodworking Magazine!
From Martin’s announcement at Lumberjocks (also click on this link to learn other details about the Challenge, and Challenge Rules):
“This time it’s all about the bookcases. Everyone needs them. Are you ready to design a bookcase that catches the eyes of Popular Woodworking’s editors, establishes you as a paid and published author and presents your design to thousands of fellow woodworkers? I’ll bet you are.”
And in Glen Huey’s own words at the Popular Woodworking blog entry about this Challenge:
“The winning original design will be published in Popular Woodworking magazine. We’re talking a full-out article, not just photos of the best design shown in a gallery. You’ll become a published contributing author – a fully paid contributing author – with your own byline.”
If I can do it, YOU can do it, too. So, go to Lumberjocks and, if not yet a member, sign up, and make your entry to the Challenge as a blog entry.

Thanks, Neil!
Do you have a Carlo Mollino bookcase concept to enter (I have not found one anywhere)? THAT would be something else. I would love to see you enter this challenge, and will be looking forward to it.
Hi Al:
Way to participate Al. Big believer in these challenges.
Woodworking is a participatory sport, one you can’t get good at unless you part-take.
with Respect………Neil
