Good stuff! 
[FINISHED: 06 - 12 -2020] MascaratumB’s entry – Old Lumens Contest 2020/21 - Modified Light Category
Thanks MtnDon 
Nice to see you are back in the contest, MascaratumB. 
Entered and finished in two days! Who can ever beat this? You are the fastest modder around! 
Very nice flashlight! I like the custom vintage look of the wood. You could set this up next to your build from last year and continue the series next year. 
It is always good to have a flashlight on hand to drain Alkalines completely so that you can throw them away without having wasted a single percent.
Thanks Skylight!
Ahah, rain, cold, confinement and time managemente made me do it yesterday because I knew that it would not be good to drag it for days 
Well, next year, let’s see what comes in the way, but if I go back to my original idea for this year, that I abandoned, it will be woody too A bit more complex than this one, though
Yeah, havin these small lights feeding on the almost depleted cells is quite good, almost apocalyptical, though, but good!
Also, this one can be on my bedside for just a shy illumination before sleeping
Nice finish MascaratumB
Lots of pics and explanation showing your progress. I really like your finish color design and enthusiasm to bring the Old Lumens spirit of competition built into your light. That is why we are here, to have fun and enjoy each others input, help, and Friendship.
Thanks CNCman
That is true, indeed ! I am not from the time of Old Lumens, unfortunately, but I feel like the contest is an awesome opportunity to learn and to goe a but beyond our comfort zone
This year I was not “able” to get others’ inputs during the build, given the time of finish, but I’ll be looking to get critiques or comments on that !
And I’ll keep an eye on your build too
Nice! I think i like this one better than your last years entry Good to see you did end up joining the comp 
Great work, love the vintage look. Maybe not quite a Louis XIV, but at least a Louis XIII½.
Wow! Fantastic! Thanks for documenting it all for us to see.
Congrats, MascaratumB!!
Good job mate, it looks awesome nice and rustic
Well woodjewlook at that. Great work.
Looks good ! Very unique
Thank you pinkpanda3310 Well, it surely is different thing, and although not perfect, it has a different taste than the last one Surely more on the budget side too
Thanks!
Thank you Henk4U2 I bet the king would have liked to have one of these in his collection of artifacts! But then he’d the “flashlight king” and not the “Sun King”
Thank you!
Ahaha, thank you Blahblahblahhuh Well, this is a challenge for you, as I know the modding bug has bitten you too! So…will we see you in next year? :innocent:
Thank you everydaysurvivalgear Won’t you join the competition this year mate?
BTW, my girlfriend said it looked like a small photography camera and even tried to “flash” me
Thanks man!
Thank you drewski Well the name could have been better, but I tried to transform the “joule thief” into “jewl” Not the best conversion , but it will do the job
Thanks!!
Thank you Rdubya18 Well, I guess it will be really unique as I don’t want to burn my fingers again with the hot glue
At least I tried something different than what I am used to do and it was a good challenge
Thank you!
BTW, with a diffuser onto it, in my bedside table
Cool! A night light too
Ahah, improvised, but yes
This is the time I wish I used a different LED, warmer at least!
But not being its primordial function, it will only be that way if/when needed
Lots more content, yes. Love the torch. I’d be careful taking it camping as it will camouflage into the surroundings.
Well done.
Thank you MRsDNF
Well, that is a great advice!!! I’d hate losing it in the “woods” But this will probably stay inside, I don’t want it exposed to the weather, specially water :cry:
Very nicely done! I’m glad to see that you ended up in the contest after all.
Ahah, thanks gchart
Well, I modded some pieces of wood after all
So, what do you say about the “gchart’ed” collection of lights?
