Contest is now closed! Winner’s list coming shortly, along with instructions to claim your prize.
OK - winners have been drawn.
Here’s how the selections were made.
-
I took everybody who followed the rules, and even a bunch of people who didn’t but got close enough for government work
-
Everyone got assigned a number, and entered into a hat (actually a spreadsheet)
-
Gold and Platinum members got assigned two numbers (so if they entered, they had double the chance to win, but of course, no one can win more than one gift card)
-
I used a random number generator to pick the winners.
For this particular contest, there was no judging the “quality” of the posts, so if you did an awesome post and didn’t win, don’t take it personally. Hopefully you can take comfort in knowing that the average bench exchange post gets 300-500 views in the first few days after posting - so people are learning a lot by your generous contribution of content.
In any event, enough chatter - here are the winners of the $100 gift cards. To claim your prize, click here and fill out your full contact information. If we don’t have all of your information we can’t process your prize.

I can’t reach your form from inside my firewall here, but I should be able to update when I get home tonight. So exciting! Ben
Hi Seth
How very exciting!
I’ve messaged you my addresses and since tried the to use the form again just to see if I missed something obvious. For some reason I cant get on to Google at all right now. I will try again on Monday when I am not using a wifi connection.

All prizes mailed out, except @gigimama1. Need that address. Contest closed! Congrats guys and gals! And thanks @RioGrande
Thanks @RioGrande & Seth & everyone at Ganoksin.
The contest pushed me to post ( and I’m sure others as well ).
A great idea to get the newly ( greatly appreciated BTW) formatted forum active.
Thank you,

Mine came too, and I’m making a wish list from Rio. Can’t decide if I want supplies or equipment, because it’s ALL there. Decisions. decisions!

I got mine…yeah!
I am going to purchase either a bunch of little things, like mandrels, buffs, etc…
or…
Buy some of the “one day” list and use the gc as a super big discount.
Decisions, decisions.
Thank you!

I think I am sort of eying the Wolf Belt Sander … just not entirely sure how much use I would get out of it … but it sure seems like a tool I would use the heck out of!
I have a Wolf Belt Sander. I use it polishing edges of sterling pieces. It takes a lot less time than using a metal file.

I have one as well. I use it to sand flat edges. Works great. Much faster than by hand and easier on my fingers.
