Wow!! I am finding this crazy hard. I have been following the “Forum” diligently for years. My old mind does not organizes or retain things as well as it should. I read a post on the Forum and in my mind say “yep”, I see what he did. Days or weeks later I read a post by the same person, and it doesn’t necessarily relate back to the previous. It is just another post and I say “yep” I see what he did.  
But here where you have all the post related to one builder, in one place, it all flows together for me. I had to watch all of Dustin Moore’s post to catch up. I remembered someone building a fire brick Wk, but to read and see all of the posts leading up, was mush more relevant me. It took well over an hour.  
Then I went to Joseph Hauler’s build. I saw his truck at Argos so I was curious about his story. Yes I remembered some about it and was actually a little surprise to see I had commented at on time. The history, took a couple hours of reading and I’m not caught up yet.  
Glen Well’s was totally knew to me. Some how I had never put his post together in my mind.  
Any way I have a little more studying to do Baillie’s tractor and Arvids tractor a sort of familiar to me but I can wait to read all the post put together. I am a Big Fan of Gary Gilmore’s and so happy he got into transportation. His post have been fairly recent to I “think” I remember most of his but I’m sure reading it again will be very inspiring.  
I really do like this posting, but honestly, I think it makes it much harder to make my decision on who to vote for. Some have added new engineering to the subject, some have persevered through problems, which have allow other to learn. All of them deserve their credits.

Chris, some how your list of builds in the US showed up through today’s viewing. Have you updated that lately? I see some names in Wi. that I don’t know about. How can I find them on a map. Great job. TomC

Hi Tom, you’re right it’s a lot to keep up with. This batch of nominations came straight off the Projects and WK Projects category pages. Worth a look.

Haven’t updated it in a while. Maybe you can contact them through the site?

A woodgassers map has been requested several times, I’m all for it but haven’t currently got time to build it.

I’m sorry if I am sort of dominating this discussion, but ---- I am not seeing how to vote. Wait!!! I just figured it out, but for the other who are posting " I want to vote for ----- --------, I don’t think they have figured it out.

TO VOTE FOR A BUILD==== go to that build and click on “LIKE”. That will be one vote.

I hope I have that correct Chris. TomC

Thanks Tom, that’s correct. Each like is one vote. That’s why posting separately won’t help your candidate… I have to be able to tally the votes.

Last day to vote for this go round!

We’re a little behind, so this round we have two featured projects.

**September:** Top voted was Dustin Moore’s firebrick gasifier. Congrats Dustin!

This gasifier is so far “outside the box”, he had to cut a hole in the box to make more room!

LET’S VOTE EARLY; Newer guys — this is the best way for you to catch up on the posting. Pick a name and scroll up to the address for his build and read it straight through. I learned a lot by reading these and I have been around for a while. You can vote for more than one and I assure you, that is a good thing because you will find something excellent in each build. You might judge each one differently. Some I vote for on workmanship, some on engineering and modifications, and even perseverance for the problems involved in completing the project I hope Chris will add to this list as info becomes available.

Gordon Ooghe – G.O. we need an update  
Green Dragon  
Doug Drost — lots of info but need a walk around  
Calvin Rader  
Paul McCombie  
Wes Kuehl  
Michael Briere ( Mr. Lipstick Red) Need a final and walk about  
Avid Olson — tractors  
Joesph Hauler  
Glen Wells — could us some build pictures  
David Baillie — charcoal tractor
