I am proud to announce the first of what will be a monthly drawing for tools provided by one of my sponsors, Sommerfeld Tools for Wood. At this time, entries from North America only can be accepted – the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The May drawing will be for two sets of router bits, for two winners (click on the links to view the information for each set at the Sommerfeld web site):
The Starter Router Bit Set – a great way to start your router bit collection, or replace bits you already have, and
The Miniature Router Bit Set – perfect for small boxes, and all small projects requiring edge details and embellishments
Winner #1 gets: Winner #2 gets:

Clicking on either side will allow you to go to the next or the previous image (if one exists), until you have viewed all three images. To close the image window, either click outside of the image window, or click on the “Close” link at the bottom-right corner of the photo.

Mike,
ALL reputable companies keep a data base of customers, and repeat customers. These are kept totally Confidential. They are used to alert their customers and potential customers of new products and promotions.
This is the case with this monthly drawing, too. For several years I have been first a customer of Sommerfeld, and now they are one of two sponsors of my blog. In fact, you may want to also read http://sandal-woodsblog.com/2008/04/06/i-have-new-sponsors/ , in which I explain my philosophy. I also post it here (extracted from the same link):
…I have been a customer of Leigh and Sommerfeld for a long time, and certainly before I started this blog. I will never take on a sponsor without knowing their products, using them, and backing them 100%. I stand behind the Leigh and Sommerfeld products…
Great site
How about some indication of how our addresses and info will be handled/used.
I enjoy reading the posts.
Thanks, Rich. I appreciate you entering the Giveaway! You are now entered for every month’s contest.
