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
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.
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’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.
Do we have to be certain on the category before we start?
I will opt for hand made, which I have been put into… But working with a dremel, knowing I have a bench-grinder,drill press and various other stuff at my side. I may end up using those tools instead for certain tasks depending on how the build turns out and if I get too fed up with the Dremel, for the sake of using the dremel.
So there is a possibility that I will disqualify for the “hand made” category and end up in the “machine made” category despite doing a 98,5% “hand-made” light…
I assume that is OK as long as Im honest about it?
It would be nice to be able to do the decisions while doing the build, depending on how things turns out. I have no idea how I will do certain things on the light yet.
And if I get the feeling that I am using a stone in order to knock a nail into wood, I may end up picking up the hammer that is easily available…
Having a hard time deciding. Functional is a given but then there’s funky, foolish, fun, fantasmagorical, and I’m thinking flexible too. Phooey, I’m flummoxed.
