Triton Tools Masters of Wood competition

Amateur or advanced woodworkers have the opportunity to win a full set of all Triton products currently available in South Africa.

 

The aim of this competition is to engage with the woodworking community and to increase the quality of project plans available on the Triton Tools website.

The competition is open to amateur woodworkers for all categories; professional woodworkers may enter the Masters of Wood category only. There are no limits to the number of entries an individual may submit. Winners and highly commended projects will be written up and posted on the Triton website together with the name of the original designer.

The best projects in each category will be made up, with the process being filmed and shared via the Triton YouTube channel. Filming will take place either in the Triton workshop or potentially at the winner’s own workshop if that is deemed suitable potentially with one of the brand champions.

PROJECT CATEGORIES:

Kid’s projects - Easy to access projects that can be done with your kids. Limited exposure to more dangerous tools and producing something kids would enjoy.

Beginner Projects - Simple starter projects you can complete in a day.

Intermediate Projects - Projects to extend your woodworking skills over a weekend

Advanced Projects - Projects to test your skill set for the real enthusiast

Master of Wood Project - Advanced level project in terms of design and execution, this category is open to anyone including those who earn their living from working with wood

JUDGING CRITERIA:

Originality and smart thinking. If we haven’t seen it before or it’s a great new twist on an old favourite we will love it. Meet the brief in terms of the project category - meaning a beginner project should not require a high degree of skill but still produce something worthwhile. An intermediate project should be possible with a moderate set of hand and power tools and facilities in a weekend. An advanced project should be a challenge but achievable. A Master of Wood project should demonstrate excellence in the craft from both a design and delivery point of view. Projects with very clear and concise directions will score highly
