Thank you all for the nominations, and keep them coming.

One request. We are a large group, spread-out all over the state. If you nominate someone, could you please give a couple of sentences about the person and what makes you nominate them. Some of our group might not be as familiar with some of them.

It’s hard to pick just one, I’ve personally received some great advice from many, in particular for my patio sun room project questions, as well as received great support in general. As I view the forum and Facebook group together, @Artisan Pirate does stand out as a strong contributor of scroll saw expertise, freely sharing plans, techniques, tips, etc - I tend to enjoy posts that go beyond the “see my latest project” to offer insights on the design and process. All my other choices are previous winners so not sure they would still qualify.
