Thank you everyone, for your genuine entries and interest in this giveaway!
We hope to host more in the future!

That's right! We are giving away a Precision Benchtop Router Table!

For your chance to win, you will need to start a new discussion within the forums. If you don't know how to start a discussion, we have included instructions below. Each community member may enter the giveaway once; multiple entries are not allowed.

The discussion you start needs to be about one of the following subjects:

•  Tell us what you like the most, or least, about your project workspace, and why.
• Create a list with a couple of your top tips for building projects.
• What is your favorite project that you built with Kreg tools? Tell us the story behind it. Feel free to include pictures, if you have some.
• Tell us about a project you'd really like to build, and how owning a Precision Benchtop Router Table would help make it possible.

Once you've selected a subject, this is how you start a discussion to post your answer:
1. Make sure that you are logged in. You must be a member of the community to start a discussion. From the community's main page, click on the navigation-bar tab that says Discussion Forums. After clicking, on the top left side of the page, you will see a button that says +Add. Click on that button to start your discussion.


2. This will take you to the page that lets you create a new discussion. First, give your discussion a title. The more specific and detailed, the better. A good title would be: My Current Shop Setup and Dream Shop Upgrades. If you want to add images, simply click on the photo icon highlighted below:

3. When you are finished writing, scroll down. This is where you can edit the category and details of your discussion. Start by selecting Community-Specific as the category. You can add tags (keywords) that relate to your discussion topic (i.e. tips, woodworking, etc.) and attach files (images, videos, etc.) here. But if you have images to include, we recommend uploading them by clicking on the photo icon pictured above. That way, they will display within your discussion post.

You can preview your discussion by clicking on the Preview button. Once you're happy with your post, hit the button that says Add Discussion. And that's it! Your discussion post is now live, which means you have successfully entered to win a Kreg Precision Benchtop Router Table! Good luck, and thank you for entering the giveaway!
