Overview

Waste not, want not! While it is fun to buy supplies, there is a special feeling that comes along with taking old materials and transforming them into something new. For the Reclaimed Contest, reclaim materials that were used to make one thing and use them to create a whole new project!

Tear out all the wood, plastic, metal, fabric and more from your old and failed projects. It’s time to see what new creation emerges from these reclaimed materials for a chance to win a selection of tools from Woodcraft including a Band Saw with Open Stand, Disc Sander, or Wolverine Sharpening Kit!

The Reclaimed Contest 2017 is closed.
