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.
I built my dad a copy of my L6, but in the silver and without a lighted switch. It was a birthday gift last year. Now, I have built a C8F 18650 XPL-HI triple for a friend, and am in the process of getting parts for a triple SST-20 95CRI red convoy S2+ for another friend. Also birthday gifts
Your lights are not mere torches, they are masterpieces and demand their own gallery. I would love to visit a art gallery for flashlights, actually.
May I participate in this GAW, please?
I shall giveaway a few lights freely as I have done it before; however, I am also currently building a new light for my aunt who has breast cancer and is facing (unfortunately) a bad prognosis. She is a florist and requires near-distance high CRI lights for her creations.
A large number of Fenix E0s (I was fascinated when they first came out), a couple of E05s, several dozens of various (on sale) led flashlights, in the last couple of months an olight aaa and a Sofirn SP32A .
There have also been a couple of cheap UV lights and many other odd lights, for years I have been trying to get friends and family into led lights and glove compartment and key chain lights, blackout headlights, and rechargeable batteries, including li-ion.
Along with the early E0s I also gifted some early Lightwave lights, the Classic2000 and Pro4000, they were really something at the time. http://www.flashlightmuseum.com/flashlights_list.cfm?list_method=browse&brand=Lightwave
also a couple of CMG Infinity lights and other interesting lights, too many to remember but it is interesting to think about some of those early models.
