After much deliberation, we chose the winner for his ideas and his instructive manner in which he described how to perform the project. Cane Pole should have been an obvious choice, but he only showed us all his accomplishments and ideas, he did not tell us how to do them. So I declair the winner to be:

NYHellbender

Great job. Great ideas, and great write up.

I would also like to declare Cane Pole and Olesilverside very competitive runner ups! I will provide consolation prizes to them as well.

I'd like to thank all the participants, all the entries were great. Thank you very much for sharing your ideas.

I'll need the addressees of NYHellbender, Cane Pole and Olesilverside. Please include "DIY Idea Contest" in your PM to me so I know what to send.
