OK - I’ve been stumped with a decent enough idea until this afternoon.

I was sitting on the couch eating hot chilli/cheese, watching some pre-recorded Top Gear, & drinking beer (…so you know it’s got to be a quality idea…)

I spotted something s) sitting on the living room table that would work…

I’m now in for a hand-made, single emitter build

Is it plastic?
Whoops I meant to say bump. I’m still waiting for someone to give me an idea on what to build. I looked on my lounge room table and saw empty beer cans. Do I have to recycle these in a furnace to build a light?

No, but you can fit quite the reflector in the end of a beer can….

[dave1 (dave_)]

Thanks for moving the end date!
I probably will not have time bevore July 12th, so I would like to enter with a really quick&dirty build in the hand made category, just for the fun of it. (Building stuff with things found in the bits and bobs box is always fun, won’t buy any parts for it. )

[eebowler]

Wow talk about a challenge… Unlike you mainland based guys, there is no time (or $$)for me to bring in parts so I have to use what I have and what the hardware provides…

For people who are curious about flashlights I’ve slapped together from random parts, check out my Ugly babies thread

[Rufusbduck]

Eebowler, I’m thinking that consideration will be given to location problems. I’ll be using only parts already on hand for this one but half the fun is figuring out how to Mcguyver something together out of odd bits and sparse tools.

How about a beer can with 5 x 18650 and 5 x XML or 4 cells 2s2p with an mtg2? Just imagine what you could fit in a Foster’s can. Beer flood.

Well, there goes MY idea...

Sorry, Cx. I thought you were going to do a keg.

I dont know when the last time I saw a fosters can was. Green cans here are VB (Victoria Bitter). I seriously have no idea what to build.

I’d love to know how Fosters became ‘the beer of Australia’ in every country other than Australia…. It’s swill - I’m warning you!!!

[lunaras]

I’m in for the machine-made category.

[vestureofblood]

3 DAYS LEFT!!! Almost time to get the party started

[Old-Lumens]

It's getting closer for sure! I'm going to have to go back and see if I can figure out who is really entering or not, so I can make a list! It's like Santa, making a list and checking who's naughty and who's nice.

I think I'm loosing it...

[MRsDNF]

@Old-Lumens

I think I’m loosing it…

I’m not sure where you thought this up from. I’m afraid to tell you that you have already lost it and from the above comment delusional as well.
I’m in but cant start for a couple off weeks in the m/c section. Looks like l’ll need that long to think off something. Thanks again.

[Old-Lumens]

I put up a list of contestants (so far).

If I did not include you, or put you in the wrong category, PM me and I will change it.
