Closed: The 4th Annual BLF / Old Lumens Scratch Made Light Contest - Winners announced!

You have certainly been busy behind the scenes the. Its good to see the diverse range of shops getting behind the comp with their rewards to the entrants.
All the best to all the combatants, I’d hate to be a judge going on past years.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone builds this year! :+1:

Great! :partying_face:

The Orca Torch brand would look great in the OP hint hint. :wink:

Tentatively in, machine category. Been thinking about something and might as well do it here, right? :wink:

Which something to be determined…

Edit: DB Custom’s 4th Annual Old-Lumens Scratch Build aka: DBC-04 This is in the Machine Category, but will also involve a good bit of hand work unless I miss my guess…

I’m leaning towards a hand made something the other. Missed out on last years, don’t plan on missing out this year!

I’ll enter the hand made category

Thread made - 4th annual scratch / OL build comp thread for pinkpanda

It just dawned on me that this is the 4th annual and will be my 4th build. :slight_smile: Epic! lol

Nice!

Oxygen tank, 10000 lumens on low, 15xLED, just a few highly interesting things that now have been shown. Oh boy!

Here’s the link to my contest build thread.

My build thread is (will be) here. I’m entering for the HandMade category.

I am so glad to see the contest take shape and I hope there will be many more members that try to make something this year.

There is no pass or fail here.

Each idea is unique and each person has different methods of working with the materials they have on hand.

I cannot tell you how many times I learn new ideas here and this is what it's all about. It's not the competition. It's not the prizes. It's all about the individual's learning curve and the development and thought processes that go into making something from scratch. It's about the path you take and what you learn and share, not the prize at the end. The prize should be the fulfillment of making something by hand that you thought you might not really be able to do and proving it to yourself that you can, or learning your missed steps even f you can't.

I wish all of you good luck and good fortune with your builds and I will be watching here, in spirit, as you make them the one of a kind masterpieces that you will create.

My build thread in the machine made category is here: fritz15 - Machine Made - Last UPDATE 10/31
Good luck to all contestants!

The only way to fail is to not enter this challenge. Yes I have failed before :weary: but no longer! I AM A WINNER!! :crown: :laughing:

Hi folks, I would like to join the contest, but it will be a month or more before I can devote any time to the project (which may take many months to complete!) Should I start a thread now, or wait until I can actually start the project?

Just start a thread now and add to it when you can.

Thread for unknown project will be created shortly!

Cheers CRX

Pages can get real slow to load when they get pic heavy. It might be a good idea to spread sections of the build thread to posts on later pages and just link them in the op to relieve this.
