Teams will get a drill/driver, jigsaw, screws, bits, a measuring tape and a mission: to design and build a piece of furniture in 1-1/2 hours or so. We won’t announce the exact type of furniture until the night of the event. Winners will take home their tools, a feature on FineWoodworking.com, and bragging rights for a full calendar year!
