Fritz made it, people loved it, the idea was born to make it availableā¦ first a small batch then a production run. But all along, the idea wasā¦
āFor a lot of us mere mortals, seeing the cool things machinists make on their lathe is just a dream.
Hence the finish of the FW3A will be clear anodisation, no sanding/beadblasting before anodisation.
The idea is to give all the chance to have a light looking like it came of a lathe with the protection of anodisation.ā
I made a first pass at merging the BLF interest lists together into a format a computer can process. The result is in post #4 now. There are still at least a few errors in the list due to a year of manual data entry, but those are getting cleaned up. Iām also still adding functions to make it handle cancellations, so those arenāt yet taken into account.
Information about the UI is also on the first page now, in post #3.
If your name on the list is not spelled correctly, please let us know. The list will be processed by a computer to send out notifications when purchases are enabled, so a misspelled name will prevent you from getting notified.
For now, Iām making a thing to verify each name matches someone who posted in the thread. That should help. It may also help with matching up requests to the posts where they were made.

Edit: It found 23 name errors and I fixed all but 4. I donāt see posts in this thread from:
ManWithoutShadow
Petroleum Lantern Guy
Rick
Throw me in to darkness ā¦
It looks like the posts or accounts may have been deleted.

Edit 2: These have all been accounted for. Every name in the database, at minimum, matches someone who posted in this thread. Canāt say for sure that all the data is correct, but at least an automated tool didnāt spot any more name discrepancies.
Thanks again! Iāve updated my list and script so it can find these two, and more generally so that it can match names which are longer than what BLF displays in the post header.
