Hello again, my name is Tim, the Woodworking Maniac, and I am extremely excited the previous week, I actually exceeded a thousand subscribers on my YouTube channel. This happened a lot quicker than I expected it to, and it's all because of So, thank you. And as I thank you, from the beginning, I had planned at a thousand subscribers to do a giveaway, because that was kind of a landmark that it's a big t I mean, a thousand subscribers, that's a lot. So, as I thank you, I had planned to do a giveaway. I was going to give away one of my own products that I make and so, I'm going to have a two-week giveaway on my website. You can go there and sign up. But, I'm actually doing it a little further. I'm actually giving away three items. And the product that I make, w It's made of cherry, ash, yellow heart, walnut, curly maple, and quarter sawn w It's a nice cutting board. It's about 10 inches by 15 inches in overall size. Got a nice handle on it. T I don't even have one yet. I do have one on order and I'm waiting for it to show up. I don't have one here to show you yet because it hasn't made it here yet. But, that will be a t But, grand prize will actually be a Bessie Tools product. I'm going to be giving away a pair of 24-inch K-Body style Revo clamps and some accessories. And what really brought t A viewer by the name of Howard Springsteen. I hope I'm not messing up the name. He actually commented on my video about some cross pieces I was using when I was clamping up my clock. And I did have some extra video that I had shot when I was actually putting the clock together of those cross pieces when I was putting those pieces on the clamps and stuff. But I ended up editing it out because I was trying to keep the video a little shorter. I was feeling that the video was getting too long. I wanted to keep the video under 10 minutes and it was getting just a little long. So, I edited it down and kind of cropped that footage out of there. But, I figured today I'll go ahead and go back, pull some of that footage back into t So, let me go ahead and show you what it is that I'm going to be giving away. And to get that started, let me show you what I used in the other video. Take a look. So, that footage is actually from last week that I actually edited out of the clock build video. And I edited that out to actually shorten the clock build video overall. And I used pliers to actually remove the jaw pads simply because it's just a little easier. These actually hold on quite tight because there's a small lip on there. And that's actually a good t So, I appreciate that. But, use some pliers, they pop right off and then the jaw adapters slide right on. And as you can see here, the jaw adapters, they have a lot of movement. They'll actually go 15 degrees in both directions. And they have a soft rubber here and even at 15 degree, when you clamp down, they will grab a hold and clamp a very strong force and they don't move. So, what you're going to be getting as a grand prize is a pair of the K-Body Revo 24 inch clamps and a set of the KRAS jaw adapters. They're going to be brand new, not full of glue Straight from Bessie so, I don't have the product here, that's actually going to come straight from Bessie. That is good for anybody in the US, in the continental US and Canada. I am going to be s And that is also for US and Canada. And for a t So, three lucky winners are going to win some great prizes and I'm super excited to do it. Now, as far as the timeframe, I will be announcing the winner on my next shop update w The drawing will happen at midnight on Thursday evening. So, on April 2nd at 11. 59pm, the entries will stop. And that's Eastern Standard Time. So, at 11. 59 Eastern Standard Time on April 2nd, the computer will stop taking them and it will automatically do a random drawing and give me some names. So, early Friday morning I will actually edit the video, create a video and announce some names, announce some winners for you. And that's going to be an early nice early morning for me, but I am going to be excited to announce all those winners. But, I'm super excited and I once again want to thank I'm excited that And I'm just glad that you all are wanting to see what I have going. And also, I wanted to give a little shout out. A drunken woodworker actually featured me on Walnut and Curly Maple. Beautiful clock. Looking forward to more videos from the woodworking maniac. And so, for that, cheers to you. I only have water in here, but thank you, David. Y'all have a good one. God bless.
