Posting a comment is so much work... Isn't there an easier way to enter?
Sounds like a great event. I would love a free pass.
Sorry everyone, they are going to pick me. Please let me know
ASAP because I was going to reserve my tickets today. Really...
I promise I will help promote this event when I am chosen. Would love to attend. Should I pack my bag?
Would love to go! I'll cross my fingers...
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I look forward to winning!
I would certainly like to attend! Hope I win.
Looks like it will be a great event-count me in for the pass drawing.
count me in please!
I'll bring the beer ;-)
Since knowledge is power, my desire it to become a more powerful woodworker by attending the seminar!! And so easy to win!
Tell the presenters fron maine "I'll drive"
Urge to attend FWW Live... rising!
Count me in . I would love to attend for FREEEE.
I've been to every FWW Live so far, so I don't want to miss this one!
Just taking a shot that I might get lucky and win. Was there last year and had a great time.
Will Nick Offermsn be there?
I've attended many woodworking events, but never for free. Put my name in the hat.
I'm not Canadian, but what's up with the "mathematical skill-testing question" required for our friends to the North?
I'd love to go!
Many magazines come and go, but Fine Woodworking has set the standard for many years.

Great magazine, website, and woodworking community. I would love to attend.
Yeah, I think I could squeeze in a FWW event like this into my schedule. The Mrs. will just have to wait another week for that side board.
would be great to go to a fww show
wishfully thinking about FWWLive!
I would to go to the show! Pick me !
The instructor line up is fantastic! Really looking forward to attending this event.
The dream of a life time.
Wow. I can't begin to imagine the wealth, depth, and integrity of knowledge and information that will be available at this event. It's almost overwhelming. I would love to be there.
@saschafer had to register to enter, they sucked me in :) My wife said I can go if I win, oooooh !
Lucky me, this year's show isn't far from my home. Even luckier would be to win the golden ticket!
There should be an easier way. I work with wood not computers.
A dream trip without the family!!!!
"Can you carve out some time for woodworking fun?" I know I can! Sounds like it's going to be a blast. I hope I win.
Sounds like a great opportunity.
I want to go!
Tickets, please.
This sounds like a great deal. Getting a free pass would certainly be budget friendly.
What a great prize for the winner. I can't think of a better way to spend a couple of days this summer.
Please help - my wife wasn't thrilled about making this our 2013 vacation but if we get a free pass then she couldn't say no! This would be much better than sitting on a beach somewhere reading FWW past issues.
Have Wood, Will Travel..
was thinking about coming...free ticket would be great!
New to woodworking, this website has helped me develop my skills a lot. A weekend with the best in the business would take me even further.....Unfortunately, I've spent all my money on tools.
I want a golden ticket!
I enjoy the Fine Wood Working magazine so much more than any other publication out there. I just made a triangle table for my mothers 75th birthday from the magazine. I am on my way home to North Dakota to surprise her and give her a beautiful piece of furniture. I attended last years Live event and would very much like to attend this years event with a golden ticket.
I am one of those people that prefer reading paper copies of your magazine to on line copies. Because I do have lots of back issues I download your index and use it to find articles in the copies that I have. However, your index stops in 2010. I have no index for the years following this. Why isn't this brought up to date? I have written before but received no answer.. and the index is still not up to date...
Looking forward to a free ticket and working along side C. Becksvoort....
I wold love to go, from west coast to east coast what an adventure.
looking forward to winning ticket !
hey would love to get a pass to the show thanks
Reasons I would drive 400 miles from Virginia to attend FWWL:
1) If Nick Offerman was attending.
2) If Nick Offerman's horny (can you say that on a "family" blog?), ex-wife from Parks and Recreation is attending
3) If I had the opportunity to meet a "glue up genie". I'm building Ed's Not So Big Workbench and no matter how many times I snap MY fingers, no glue up genie appears.
4) To see if Mike is really the "Imelda Marcos of hand planes".
Steve in Virginia
Hey there I wanna go ! After all free is a very good price!
All this talk about "Golden Tickets", is Willy Wonka part of Fine Woodworking now? Seriously your magazine is tops and I really enjoy the digital addition, particularly the videos. Keep up the good work and send me my free ticket.
Me!!
I would like my "hi" space guys!
Another hat in the ring..:>)
I've been trying to hone my commenting skills, but I think my stones a little dished... fingers crossed
I am definently a broke woodwoker...would love the oppourtunity to join everyone at fine woodworking live!
As a hobbyist woodworker, I think it would be a great opportunity to win an opportunity to go to FWW Live!
As a hobbyist woodworker, would love a chance to learn and interact with the best!
would love to attend
yes, please.
What a wonderful opportunity that would be.Thank you for offering.
Keep up the fine work, Dudes. Love the show.
-Sean Rubino
I would love to go.
Wouldn't that be awesome... hope to see you soon!
Love to go ! Great way to learn from the Best and get out of the shop to connect with other woodworkers face to face.
this can be the chance to learn woodworking not from the computer.
Would love a weekend dedicated to woodworking without the disruptions.
Go VOLS
I would love to go; this sounds like a great event!
See you in August.
A great event hope I win the free pass.
Sign me up! I'm sure that I will learn more at FWL then I could the rest of the year.
Love to go! A bit of a stretch from southern Colorado, kind of like the cartoon character, Rubberman (that's a test of your age). FW has been my woodworking drug of choice for more years than I want to think about!
I feel inadequate enough every time I browse through a new issue of Fine Woodworking...if I win a ticket and attend the conference, I'll surely reinforce those feelings of inadequacy as I watch the pros and true artists demonstrate their skills up close and personal, lol!
I feel inadequate enough every time I browse through a new issue of Fine Woodworking...if I win a ticket and attend the conference, I'll surely reinforce those feelings of inadequacy as I watch the pros and true artists demonstrate their skills up close and personal...not...well, maybe just a little...
It would be a real pleasure to attend this event. I work 7days in my shop and never get time off but I will definitely make time for this if I win and my wife will be happy too! Will be a nice drive from Texas to Connecticut.......in August glad to go anywhere out this Texas heat!! See you then!
Would Love to go. Please pick me!!!
Your magazine is great. What I really love are the books. Of course... experiencing would be even better.
I would love to sharpen my skills in the heat of August with the best of the best. Send me a ticket and I may be inclined to demonstrate the reason for my online name, in person of course.
Sign me up!
Love your mag and books. Online videos are great too!
I'd love to go to FWW Live
I humbly accept this prize.
This would absolutely great. Sign me up
Fine Woodworking magazine is aptly named. Yes, it is all about woodworking but it also a fine magazine. I find my subscription to the website is most infornative.
The weekend sounds great. I can't wait to soak in all the information.
This would be fantastic to win. Thanks for the chance.
I would love a chance to go to this!
I would love the chance to go, and learn some thing! Then all I would have to do is remember it all!
Sounds like a wonderful opportunity!
I spent all my money on tools. Please give me a free pass to this.
Hahahah I guess I'm a bit late...
