February Turning Challenge

[Emiliano Achaval]

For this month's challenge, we are going again with a theme. It's February already! So we are going to help you get motivated and turn something for Valentine's day! Extra points will be given if what you turn really makes you say, that's Valentine's gift. Hearts, flowers, a painted or pyrography decorated platter, a box with a heart as a finial. The possibilities are endless!

And now, the legal stuff:

• Only one entry per person and only one photo of the entry. This is a turning contest, not an old photo contest, LOL. So make sure your work is something you turned for the challenge.
• Turnings submitted for the February challenge must be started no earlier than February 10, 2022.
• Entries must be posted in this thread.
• The deadline for posting entries is midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on February 23, 2022.
• Voting will take place from February 24 through midnight UTC February 28, 2022.
• The winner might have to pass a lie detector test before collecting the prizes. Good luck, have fun, make shavings!!

When voting begins you are allowed one vote and once you have voted you won't be able to go back and change your vote. After you have voted you will be able to track the vote totals. The voting is secret (just like a real election) so nobody other than you can see who you voted for (not even the moderators/administrators). The voting will end at midnight UTC on February 28, 2022. In case of a tie vote, the forum moderators will gather in a virtual smoke-filled room to sort out the winner.

We are sorry for the delay, but the challenge is here, now! Looking forward to seeing what you make! Aloha.

This may be a dumb question, but as a newbie to AAW forum, how does one vote?

 

[Bernie Hrytzak]

One of the administrators has to declare the posting period over and to set up the voting buttons.

Not a dumb question. Due to the late start of this month's challenge, the deadline is being extended until midnight UTC of February 25, 2022 (In the US and Canada that would be 6 PM CST Friday, February 25, 2022).

As Bernie said, we will set up a poll in a new thread and this thread will be locked.

Searching for "vote" turned up many posts but nothing for February. An advanced search for "vote February" didn't find anything. What am I doing wrong?

. You missed bills post.

Come back in 5 hours + a constant to be known later in case Bill can’t get to a computer right at 6 or in case I messed up the time zone conversions.

The February challenge is now closed and the poll will be posted in a few hours. This thread will be locked until voting ends. Posts that aren't contest submissions will be hidden from view until the thread is unlocked.
