The 6th Annual BLF / Old Lumens Scratch Made Light Contest

I would love to enter the contest for the first time. I have some very interesting things in mind but there is too much to figure out to have it done in this timeframeā€¦ And I will probably dont have enough time anyway.

I will follow this, and good luck to the participants.

:+1: :beer: :sunglasses:

Yes, hopefully youā€™ll see that even the lack of a reflector doesnā€™t necessarily mean you canā€™t enter. :wink:

Morning bump.

Is a sign of a healthy circulatory system, from what I hear.

:+1: :smiley: :smiley:

Careful FMC. That guyā€™s trouble! :smiling_imp:

Oh oh, he has a keyboard! :open_mouth:
Run for your lives :smiling_imp:

(and take a flashlight with you :stuck_out_tongue: )

Bump.

Bumpity-bump, MRsDNF. Iā€™m mentally sorting through the 2 or 3 ideas I came up with. The one that seems most likely to come out on top seems to involve more assorted wood pieces than metal. :laughing:

I will open a build thread when I decide which way to go.

But then here comes Johannā€¦

Hmmmā€¦ hmmā€¦ :expressionless:
I entered once in 2014, 1x AAA angle light, and i hardly finished, that is, the light worked for about an hour, and then a short circuit developed, and the tiny TIR dedomed a 219B for the second timeā€¦
I still have the parts somewhereā€¦ :person_facepalming:
The build thread has no more picturesā€¦

I was gonna join the scratch build contest again, but canā€™t think of anything special and / or doableā€¦
So i might join, but only when i have a good idea.

Sub-ed.

Iā€™ve had stuff rattling around my head since seeing this thread. Iā€™m starting to hone down my idea. Wonā€™t be anything ground breaking but once I collect enough parts to make a start Iā€™ll open a thread :disguised_face:

We have 1st build thread live! Go and check it out here! Good job gchart!

Ps. I noticed Jack has got a keyboard. :person_facepalming: Bad things may happen. Hopefully Mr. Admin is awake and will ban him if/when neededā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue:

FMC is a lightbuilder and an entertainer :smiley:

Letā€™s see what happens when he pushes the button :smiling_imp:

Iā€™m sure Jack will fill FMCā€™s head with ideas.

Going to have to miss this one again this year due to the financial mess left from my exā€¦ These build contests are a lot of fun!
I still use my to past contest entries while camping and traveling.
