Yayyyyy! Today’s the day!

I can finally reveal the two very special projects I worked on for CRAFTSMAN® and the #CRAFTSMANCUPCONTEST.

Project #1 is a child-sized picnic table with a DIY hockey theme, in celebration of the upcoming 2019 Memorial Cup in Halifax.

I’m sharing the full tutorial for the DIY hockey picnic table over on CraftsmanCupContest.ca, so head over for a list of materials and step-by-step instructions.

While you’re there, enter the CRAFTSMAN® Cup contest for a chance to win a VIP Memorial Cup experience.

The grand prize is four tickets to the 2019 Memorial Cup Championship Game presented by Kia on May 26, and a V.I.P. behind-the-scenes experience — plus airfare, hotel accommodations, CRAFTSMAN® tools and swag, a prepaid Visa and a RONA gift card.

Don’t forget to pin this post for later so you can find it again easily when you’re ready to build the coolest hockey-themed table around.

So go read the tutorial — please! — and let me know what you think of the design. Feel free to ask any questions, too, and I’ll do my best to answer them without using terms like “thingamajig.”
