GIVEAWAY TIME!

This giveaway is now closed.

Oh heyyyyy, IT’S FRIDAY!! Three cheers for sure! I’m still not sure why I look forward to the weekend… being a stay-at-home mommy and all. Maybe it’s because I get unlimited time with my man-child! Yep, that’s definitely it!

This is neither here nor there, but we had our entire septic line replaced yesterday, which really bites the big one. Although now I can do laundry and shower again, which is a plus (kind of?). Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and that’s when you drop-kick life all Jackie Chan-like. Take that septic system.

But there’s good news for ONE OF YOU! Because we’re giving away a RYOBI Compound Sliding Miter Saw (with a LASER) to one of our lucky readers!!

RYOBI Compound Sliding Miter Saw Giveaway! {Sawdust and Embryos}

Ryobi Nation - leaderboard1

THIS IS HUGE my people. If you’re a fellow DIYer, you’ll find you could use this thing for SO many different things (crown molding, picture frames, furniture making, finish carpentry, etc). Not only does it cut perfect/precise angles (like we did for our Crown Molding Tutorials… it also just plain cuts wood, which just plain comes in handy!

And… it’s simple enough that you can rock this thing even if you have no experience with power tools!

Crown Molding Tutorial using Ryobi Tools {Sawdust and Embryos}

Let’s say for example, that you’re the DIY-type, but your husband, well… ISN’T.

If he came home to a beast-of-a power tool with a big bow on it… well it could be a big incentive to get his man-juices flowing and inspire him to build some things for you.

It can’t hurt for you to stroke his biceps either. I speak from experience.

Enough of this chit chat though… do I really need to talk you into this? I think not.

    I could use this Miter Saw in so many ways. My fiancé and I are DIY people; we just created a 2’x3′ heart and strung red yarn across the screws we used to outline the heart – the backboard was a nice piece of pressboard that we spray painted a Rust-oleum Hammered Metal color – it looks great! Beyond that, the robotics team I coach could benefit from having a nice miter saw like this one! Thanks for hosting the give-a-way!

    I’ve pinned, shared on facebook, and thanks for reading through my comment. Talk to you Friday : )

    I found your blog through “All Things Thrifty” and was excited by your DIY projects and also your woodworking DIY projects. So, I had to enter your Giveaway, especially because my power tools are limited to a power drill and borrowing my Mom’s circular saw. Looking forward to more of your projects.

    If you wait for hubs to do list to get done, you’ll be waiting a long time. I am the DIY’er in our house, lol! Since I don’t have one of those saws, and I couldn’t afford to buy or rent one, I got creative. I created a guide for my circular saw, used my adjustable T square to draw a line on my board, clamped on the guide, and cut a miter angle. It’s a lot of work, and not nearly as accurate as a miter saw though! Would love to win one!

    I’m just curious….why are bloggers pushing so hard for FB likes? Is there a monetary compensation with FB followers? I read a couple dozen home improvement blogs and I’ve noticed in the last few months this annoying & tiresome push to like all of them on FB. For some of us, FB is not a part of our lives for a reason. So, no contest entry for me – even though my handy husband would love the Ryobi.
