I need to think of something to build. Is a really hot fire allowed in the handmade category?
How many can we build? I want to do 3 hand built lights!!!

I am acquiring the parts needed to build the replica Steam pipe light. I have some parts on order and should receive them in a week or two.

Can’t wait to see the contestants’ arts!
Can we have multiple entries in 1 category?

if i enter a new light build of my own (separate of the replica prize light i’m offering) it will likely be in the hand-made category again.

No. Only one entry per contestant. You have to choose only the best one. :)

Really hot fire, like melting & pouring metal? Yes.
Really hot fire, like gas (oxy-fuel) welding? Yes.
Really hot fire, like exploding two parts together? Yes. (and would give you some extra points! )
Really hot fire, like plasma cutter? No. (OTOH, a hand held plasma cutting might be acceptable?)

Wait, doesn’t the light have to be portable? An apparatus for melting and pouring metal wouldn’t be portable, would it? Doesn’t the light have to also be AC-mains free?

Maybe I misunderstood what was requested.. I meant that melting & pouring is allowed for building the light.
The light itself must be battery operated and hand held.

I was thinking molten metal as part of the build process. And not just safe low temp stuff like solder.
The first annual contest had an entry that was forged so I’d say yes. That would be worth seeing.

I’ll need to make more charcoal, and make some casting flasks, and make or buy some greensand, and I really should build a permanent furnace to replace the stack of bricks I used last time, and I still need to come up with an idea for what I should make.
