T, t, t, t, tick, tick, tick, tick. I’m channeling Styx. Only two week ends left and I’m back to working full time. The good news is work is good therapy for the wrist but I’ll have to figure out what I can bring with me on the road if I’m going to be able to finish. It’s times like this I wish were rich and retired.

There are lots of times I wish I was rich and retired. I’m half retired and maybe half rich…. or is it half poor……… :person_facepalming:

Made From Scratch Brass Millipede EDC (4th annual competition entry)

If there was a prize for the person who farted around the most before getting started on this project it’d be to me for sure. That said, hopefully if I get up early enough tomorrow, don’t take any phone calls, and steer clear of the internet, I will be able to turn this hunk of brass into a flashlight in time.

The competition ends in 2 hours! Please finish your build threads in time and don’t change it after the time is up! Posting more comments to those threads is ok, but posts with timestamp later than the end time will not be taken into account.

Judges will start their work right after the competition time ends. Judging will take about 1-2 weeks, so please be patient and enjoy the build threads meanwhile!

So many beautiful and amazing lights done this year. Such a wonderful tribute and such a talented body of members here. We are all blessed to have this little corner of the world. I thank all of you who tried this year. I have seen things that I never would have imagined and that is the fun part, learning new things, trying new things.

Thank you BLF and thank you all for such an entertaining year of builds. May this little corner of the world stay a special place for years to come.
