The lucky winners

Last fall, Woodcraft, in partnership with SawStop, presented a new contest, the Sawsome Sweepstakes, where participants could win a SawStop compact table saw and stand in a random drawing. Entries were accepted through October, and winners were announced in February.

Drew Christensen, of Mukwongago, Wisc., won the grand prize, picked from 47,667 eligible entries.

“A woodworker who does a lot of home renovation and cabinetry, Christensen said he is currently finishing a shed to serve as his shop and hopes to have it finished soon. He said his first project in the shop with the SawStop will be installing board and batten in his home’s foyer. And, with his new work area and woodworking equipment, he anticipates more than renovation projects in his future,” Woodcraft said in a statement.

Christensen also won a $500 Woodcraft gift card, WoodRiver glue-line rip saw blade, and SawStop swag pack.

Colleen Helz of Montgomery, Texas, and Steve Ward of Centennial, Co., won second- and third-place prizes.

“Woodcraft congratulates these winners and wishes them well in their woodworking journeys,” president and CEO Jack Bigger said. “Also, thanks to SawStop for joining with Woodcraft to offer the sweepstakes.”
