I see 2 entrances already (CRX did not say so litterally but I can not imagine him not entering ).
Ok, I enter too, in the hand-made category, but as a warning, out of the two of my previous attempts, one was never finished and one too late, somewhere late in autumn.

hi all I will again have a go at a machine made thingamabob.
best I get my thinking cap on
It will be a headlight based on a familiar theme
Will start abuild thread when supplies arrive
Ok all, this year I will attempt a Headlight for swmbo.
I stuffed up and ordered some 20700 batteries with my order from kd which finally arrived today.
Hence the delay in starting. And. after all that I’m going to use 18650’s anyway.

1 x narsil driver from lexel, 1 x usb charging board, and a momentary switch I stole from mrs dnf
and a lump of pine for the battery holder.
