Drawing date?

[Red97]

When is Santa gonna pull names? Before Christmas, for Christmas ish arrival or after?

Just trying to figure out if the saw needs to come to work with me. Won't be home till Christmas eve...

I was wondering the same thing Joe

 

[Red97]

Kind of think after Christmas may be best? Sure would hate to lose a saw fighting with all the other Christmas shipments...

I guess we could draw numbers at the gtg. Write numbers on 12 nickels and have someone draw them for each of us. Then someone else draw that's not in it for the numbers and each one in order goes to the numbers?

I noticed Wiggs is missing?

Will all parties be at the GTG? If the drawing is held there, it would be nice to have it videod.

My saw is ready, but I think after Christmas would reduce a lot of the holiday craziness with shipping.

if they do the drawing at the gtg i will video al

Other than following each individual build thread, is there a list of the saws being traded? Who built what for the swap?

 

[Red97]

Guess it's gonna ride along...

Just in case

I'm not the boss, but I am good with the idea of a non-participant drawing coins (or similar) out of a hat (or burlap potato sack, crown royal bag, etc.) and matching them up to a name at the GTG.

I went back to my PM history and the group message Santa sent all the builders. He said this "We need to finalize a drawing date. This can happen anytime, but I would prefer it be announced on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. This will build suspense and keep it fair. And, in the unfortunate situation someone cannot complete the build, we will not have to 're-draw' saws."

I like surprises, too, so if we can find an honest, salt of the earth type person, to conduct the drawing in private, and post a video link on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, that would be cool, too.

I will agree shipping should take place after January 1 to miss the holiday rush and reduce the odds of lost/damaged/stolen shipments.

That sound good to me

I have no dog in this fight, but I think a cool thing to do would be have an anonymous drawing. Whoever picks the names out only contacts you to tell you where to ship your saw. You have no idea what saw you are getting until it shows up.

Drawing at the GTG sounds good.

I've got a new saw for the build.......gonna start a thread after the GTG.

 

[RI Chevy]

Ahhh. Keeping it a secret, huh? Lol

 

[Miller Mod Saws]

I'm bring mine to the gtg to get an honest opinion. Ditch it and start over or hammer down. Lol.

 

[Mastermind]

Ahhh. Keeping it a secret, huh? Lol

More like.....a surprise.

 

[RI Chevy]

Got ya. Great idea. Like a saw in a wrapped up box.

Hanukkah begins at sundown on December 24th, just sayin' and stuff.

God Bless you.

Did you all get it figured out? I have nothing to do with this, but I'm getting excited...
