Little Wizard II Giveaway

It's not too late to enter our Little Wizard II Planer and Jointer
Saver giveaway! Just take a few photos of a jig, rig or shop
machine you've built, and post them, along with a description
of the process, at WOODWEB's Shop Built Equipment Forum.
Participants who post acceptable photos and descriptions will
receive a FREE Little Wizard II. Seven Little Wizards have
already been sent out.

The Little Wizard II Jointer and Planer Saver is a portable,
hand-held metal detector designed specifically for woodworkers.
It helps detect small metal objects which can be buried inside
new or used lumber. For more information, visit:
