After much discussion (with myself)  :ahhh I have concluded that there cannot be just one winner this round!

Therefore, and in no particular order, are:

Legend with the LEGO entry on day one.  I love LEGO, especially the ones after the 70s and 80s...the current ones are so fun to build.  When I was a kid they were mainly rectangular bricks.

Vicman on day 3 with the Fender Amplifier.  I bet it makes cool sound and makes me want to become a groupie.  :cheers:

Honorable mention to Legend's daughter for being a good sport and Daddy's little helper on day 2.  :tu:

Congratulations to the winners!

But wait FoBe, what do they win?   :pok:

Each winner has the choice of having $20 put into their PayPal or Amazon account  OR a lunch delivered to each winner by DoorDash (to me the better deal), but you must decide!

Day 4

Pens!  Fountain pens have been a favorite of mine, including Parker ink to use with them.
Beautiful fountain pens!
I never mastered writing with fountain pens, being left handed never could maintain the proper angle of pen to paper.  So, when Parker and Pentel introduced ROLLARBALL  pens, I  took to them like a duck to water.

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Yep LC, lefty here as well.  Lots of smearing until I contorted in such a way that my hand is under the line I'm writing.  Love me some rollerballs too!  :hatsoff:

I like to conclude business so that I can free up my mind to figure out the next mini-challenge.  :hatsoff:  :woohoo:

I always had trouble with consistency and pressure.  Nibs would bend or separating causing GOBS and blobs.

Always wrote with hand under the line,  never with the bent wrist technique 😉

Work forms always involved Carbon copies, so ball point pens the norm. 
Today, I have fun with Birthday cards,  eloquent penmanship that is a hybrid of cursive and print .

Sad that some of my grandkids can not read cursive.  It is  foreign to them.  A secret code. 😁
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I’d love to do more cursive handwriting, just haven’t done it in awhile.  I use a pencil for most writing though.  I don’t use pens that much anymore.

Thanks to FolderBeholder I was able to finally pickup this leather bound journal from Amazon.  I have a lot of keepsakes and whatnot related to Leatherman that I wanted to scrapbook into something like this.  Perfect opportunity to finally go for it.

Thank you for stopping in Rich_SD.

My fault for thinking up this challenge at the last minute.  My apologies.  :hatsoff:

Oh!  Almost forgot.  I'm doing a challenge on the 7th for anyone!  Read below:

For anyone not in the challenge I have come up with a way for you to participate for a prize on February 7th!  :woohoo:

Your challenge is to create a Leap, out of paper or whatever, even if it is printed and cut out and post it in the thread on Feb 7th.  :tu:

The people in the regular 29 day challenge can participate as well as long as they create a Leap as outlined above.

The prize for the winning entry will be a $50 gift card to Amazon, or whatever place you shop.  This is open to international members as well.  :hatsoff:

DAY 5

I used the Leap's saw to cut a notch in a piece of wood just to see how it works.

The cutting edge of the saw is only 2", so it limits the length of the strokes, but it works fine if you just need to saw a small piece of wood or cut a notch in it. :)

I have included a couple of pictures for size comparison to a few other multitool saws.
