Well the lucky April fool, er, person who’s getting the $500 gift card to the home improvement store of their choosing – all thanks to Hometalk! – is… Rebecca (who says she and her husband really need a router table to change out some non-functional kitchen cabinets). Congrats!
Nope, this isn’t a joke. Someone somewhere in the world is gonna win $500 this week, and it’s all thanks to Hometalk. It’s a free community where DIYers and pros can exchange projects and advice, which makes it a great spot to discover new ideas (everything from major remodels to easy cleaning tips pop up).

Not a bad way to ring in April, right?

Rosa says
TOOL ME
We are looking to buy a Kreg Jig. I’ve had my hubby doing many woodworking projects and I hear this thing cut cut hours on our projects. For example, he just made me 2 square planters for the front porch and he spent a while making those little angled holes manually. He was aware of it but after much research, I think we want to go with it. Also, we just ‘invested’ in a new fancy drill and this would really come in handy!

Emily says
Tool Me!!! We could really use a table saw to cut boards for our basement remodel!!!
The Snow Family says
You guys are our inspiration! We have started to renovate our 1970s split entry and we’d love to have a few tools to make the job easier. I can usually get the honey to go along with it if I show him you guys have done it successfully.
A nailer, framer, heck just a newer drill would be awesome :)
Our recent project (started this weekend) was a small second bathroom where we discovered 1970s wallpaper behind a piece of acrylic shower sink backsplash (yeah we stopped asking what up after realizing the basement wood paneling was hiding the half concrete walls and THAT’s why the basement was laid out the way it was)
Kathe says
TOOL ME
I have been wanting my very own Skil saw forever! I’d use it for creating my own projects instead of having to ask Mr. B to make cuts for me! Great giveaway! Fingers crossed :-)

My boyfriend has so kindly offered to do crown molding in my house. The catch is he has never done it before. And in order to make sure this isn’t the last time he ever does it (or attempts it) I’d like to get some basics like a nail gun, saw, kreg jig crown pro, etc.
