Make It In March Competition 2020
And the Winners are...
This year's Make It In March Competition has now ended! Thank you to everyone who entered. We have received a huge number of entries which showcased the pure talent within our customers. But, I'm afraid to say there can only be one (or in this case three) winners!
Congratulations Nic Marshall for coming first and winning the ultimate tool bundle!
Here's what our judges had to say about your project...
Cool design, designed for a practical purpose, nice choice of contrasting materials, crisp and well made.
Mark Woodhead - Halstock Cabinet Makers
If he is new to woodwork then I am impressed, as there seem to be some challenging things for him to master.
Richard Lee - Plankbridge Shepherd's Huts
Also, congratulations to our two runners up Jane Carpenter and Scott Hamilton!
The competition is now closed but you can see the other entries here...
