Nice idea for a GAW. Iāll be keeping an eye on this and watching it come together. Please count me in.
I just gave a wuben t046r to a tech averse older friend. It is a perfect gift for the uninitiated because of the built in micro usb charging feature. I could tell he was just used to maglight levels of brightness and was blown away by this relatively little pocket rocket. Often times, giving feels better than receiving.
Love to win something.
Iāve never done a giveaway on here but I have given many of my lights to friendās and family. I always want anyone I know to be able to reach out and light someone
I am in. Thanks for the GAW and congratulations on your 3000 posts.
I have given countless flashlights to family and friends over the years, hoping they will enjoy and use them.
Best of luck on your expertise in the flashlight build.
Hey man, Iām interested in a shot at this light here, since I didnāt see anything indicating youāve already finished it.
Regarding what Iāve given away, my flashlight hobby is known by most people, and I have no qualms about reinforcing that view of me. Iāve gifted Nitecore MT06MD penlights to friends when they graduated nursing school, Iāve given many a headlamp to friends working in industrial settings, and Iāve offered countless recommendations to people who ask me. Iāve done modding work for various people, as well, not charging more than a few dollars for my time on top of the cost of parts (generally just enough to round out a dollar value).
Only the tube and the CRX gaw light looks beautiful already. Sweet GAW!
Just gave grandma (recently widowed and canāt see well) an Astrolux A01 219B, Convoy S9 in NW & Nightwatch NA40SE SST20 95 CRI.
She isnāt afraid of the dark anymore and also loves high CRI lights. Big upgrade from D cell Mag from 1999ā¦ā¦
I would like to enter. My recent non financial GAW have been my time. I am a merit badge counselor for the Boy Scouts and I have met with several scouts over the past year. Guessing 10 - 15 hours in 2018. If youāre looking for something physical, my wife and I gave away a baked lasagna and bread to some local homeless folks.
Iāve never been rich money-wise but I did give my car to my buddy who needed it. My buddy sold me his car for a couple hundred bucks so I gave my car to my buddy who had a new job and a broken-down car. It was trickle down economics that actually worked. I think part of his first paycheck paid for one of his parentās health bill or something. Crazy how it all flowed down and it was fun to be part of a serendipitous giving chain.
Other more boring things Iāve given are random gift cards that I get in presents or birthday cards. Sometimes Iāll mail them to other people just to surprise them. Usually with an anonymous note just to make them smile. Iāve only done it a few times, really, but once a buddy told me about getting one of those cards in the mail and I just acted surprised and enjoyed seeing his smile as he was talking about it. I didnāt get to see him open it but I could tell it was like a random Christmas-morning feeling for him.
Please donāt count me in.
Iāve given freely many good flashlights to friends who appreciate them but I donāt deserve to participate in this great GAW, as I had the honor to be picked as the winer of your amazing Carbon Fibre & Brass Flashlight (CRX 1000 Post Giveaway), so someone else deserves more than I do to win your handmade piece of art.
Congratulations and please count me in. I absolutely love your flashlights. I like to gift a good flashlight or knife to my hiking and camping companions. Cheers mate!
I have been clearing out the workshop, my two sheds, and garage for several months, a little at a time. I have given several loads of construction materials to Habitat for Humanity. Unused building materials. Nails, bolts, screws, and other assorted home building and renovating hardware. Assorted power tools and hand tools I no longer use or need as newer mostly cordless tools have supplanted them. Assorted lengths of pipe as well as boxes plumbing fittings. Electrical outlets, switches, boxes, and wire staples. The exercise has helped me clean up, free up space and made things tidier here. Habitat will use items for the community home building they do or sell items in their ReStore. Those proceeds are used to help the community.
And I gifted this years contest project to my son. He uses it every day. Or at least everyday I drop by his home.
