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

Thread for unknown project will be created shortly!

Cheers CRX

Remember to post it in this category

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.

I resize all my pictures before uploading to PhotoBucket to stop the slow page opening happening.

Well said! Though the idea of a prize is nice, more significant to me is pushing past perceived limitations to achieve something no one thought of or thought possible.

ok I will give it a try in the machine, made category.

I’m in- handmade category. :sunglasses:

I am in for the handmade category. Scout's Entry: 4th Annual BLF/Old-Lumens Scratch Made Light Contest: Handmade

:wink:

Here’s my hand made build thread… The 4th Annual BLF / O-L Contest; MtnDon's Entry, Hand Made Class

again there is not enough time right now but at the end of september “фењерче” will be on the machine (“сијалица” will have to wait for next year) stay tuned…

Your build last year was amazing, so I am looking forwards to you joining in.

Another question regarding the contest. Somehow always the same people reply to the build threads. Those people also happen to be the contestants :smiley: Does the rest of the forum actually know that there is a contest? Maybe if there’d be another sticky in the modding area that would motivate some more people to join in. And the more people there are making lights the more fun it is, isn’t it? :beer:

Pretty sure most know about it given how often all the threads spend time at the beginning of the recent posts list there’s just always been a huge disparity between the number of people reading a thread and posting in it(read count listed at the bittom of the op in each thread). It does surprise me how few of the forum regulars respond to updates though. The contests thread itself I believe gets stickied already in its subforum.

I’ve hinted about doing a build, but never committed to making a thread…

As much as I’d love to be in the mix, this time around Real Life™ is taking precedence. Nothing bad is happening, quite the opposite actually.

I know there’s a bit of time left yet, & I have a pile of parts & even an idea(!), but I can’t see it getting done.

I’m watching all the builds when I get chance - there’s some great stuff going on this year :beer:

:+1:

Sometimes real life gets in the way. :stuck_out_tongue:

i know it is late, but i just realized it is time for the contest, just logged in first time in month or so, would it be ok to join this late?

It wouldn’t be only ok, but great! :slight_smile: Looking forward to seeing your build.

Another woody? :smiley:

i hope not, i want to build something different. but if i’m out of ideas 2 week before the end, i’ll have no choice but to build another one.

My light is now officially finished. Well it is if the wood doesn’t all fall off before the build time is up. :person_facepalming:
