6/7/13: The Contest begins on Midnight UTC 06/08/2013 and runs until Midnight UTC 07/15/2013 (hope that helps). Do not start your build before the contest starts.
I see no reason that the contest should not start when the entry period closes, so I moved the date up a day. That at least gives some people some Saturday time.
Contestants, remember when you post your build thread, to send me a PM with the link to it. I will put all of the links in one post here, so that Judges and other members have one easy access point to build threads.
I don’t know about the welder. Like I told another member, go ahead and take the easy way, (I’m just kidding)… I would like to seee you use a torch and rod to weld. It’s possible you know. Done it many times. If you want in, it’s ok, just try to stick with hand made if you are in that category. Of course, a welder does peak my curiosity.
just running ideas through my head at this point. when i think machine made i think lathes, drill press, cnc... i work day to day using my hands as a welder. but now i think about it more, solder and/or brazing would make more sense for materials more suited to the end product
I think of a welder as a tool for making a stronger joint. As long as the fitting is done by hand/dremel/drill, who cares how you make it stick together? Just no cut off saws.
like i said, im just running ideas threw my head at this point. i got some ideas of what i will do, but nothing definite. just seeing how far i can push my luck :P
My thread is there .
I’m already quite curious about all the cool things people will come up with!
(And hope I will not embarrass myself to much mith my handicrafting skills. A 5 years old would be proud! :P)
too much lol.
