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

Careful FMC. That guy’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. I’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 Johann…

Hmmm… hmm… :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 time…
I still have the parts somewhere… :person_facepalming:
The build thread has no more pictures…

I was gonna join the scratch build contest again, but can’t think of anything special and / or doable…
So i might join, but only when i have a good idea.

Sub-ed.

I’ve had stuff rattling around my head since seeing this thread. I’m starting to hone down my idea. Won’t be anything ground breaking but once I collect enough parts to make a start I’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 needed… :stuck_out_tongue:

FMC is a lightbuilder and an entertainer :smiley:

Let’s see what happens when he pushes the button :smiling_imp:

I’m sure Jack will fill FMC’s head with ideas.

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

1st Machine Made competitor joined! Please welcome Flashy Mike: 6th Annual Scratch Made Light Contest - Flashy Mike's machined project

At the very least I have to post in here, right? So, perhaps I will make an attempt to find my brain and see if there’s still something rattling around in there by way of ideas for an entry…

… I’ll be back.

You have shown us all here that you have more than rattles in your brain Dale. Your one of the wiz’s with all things flashlights here? :+1: :beer:

Thank you Steve, but the past year has been difficult and the past month has been brutal. Rattles may soon well be all I have left…

That sounds bad. I hope everything works out okay for you. :cry:

Justin used to say… it is what it is, y’all know I ain’t got sense enough to leave modding alone, regardless of how I feel. :stuck_out_tongue:

Lanterns are popular this year, first three entries….
