Ontario’s Ed Schwartz is the big winner of SCM’s sliding table saw giveaway.
As part of SCM 70th year celebrations, SCM North America held a contest commencing with the announcement of the winner at IWF 2022 for woodworkers in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico to enter for the chance to win a Nova SI 400 10' sliding table saw. And for every entry, SCM committed to donating $100 USD to the Semper Fi & America’s Fund.
“This year marks 70 years around the sun for SCM and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to show our appreciation to those who matter most — our customers and the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.
To enter the contest, SCM asked customers to “Show us your woodworking skills for a chance to become the new owner of an SCM sliding table saw.
Projects of any size could be entered in the contest, they just had to be made 75 per cent from wood.
The winning project was a grandfather clock by Schwartz, who said: “I built this clock for my great-grandson, so it's truly a grandfather clock in every sense of the word! I wanted to build something to outlast me that could be passed on for future generations in my family to enjoy, that was both meaningful and representative of my passion for woodwork.
“The clock itself is fully-functioning and made entirely out of Baltic birch plywood - even the gears! Each piece was hand-crafted using custom-built jigs. It was a lot of fun to build and I am grateful that my love of woodworking has carried on to my son who has built his own custom cabinetry business. Winning this contest would not only make for even more amazing stories/memories associated with this clock, but I’d also love the opportunity to gift the sliding table saw to my son to help grow his business. I appreciate the opportunity to showcase my work and greatly appreciate your vote!
Thank you to everyone who participated! Your entry helped SCM donate $100 each to Semper Fi & America's Fund on your behalf + the value of the sliding table saw.
