Jerommel is building mine. I'm not sure how he is going as I have not heard anything from him. I hope though he hasn't started the build yet as I would have to disqualify him and then you would have to build me a light. This light building sure is confusing. Best I have a lie down.
Sign-up is closed? I really wanted to sign up, Thought the deadline would be March 31st. Come on Old Lumens, give us 1 more day to sign up! OP gave no date, so this should be a technicality and make sign-up end on 31st. By the way, can you add me to the list if it's not too late, late? 1 day extension please! Edit: Please put me in Handmade category as allI have is my trusty dremel!
Thanks for the support MRsDNF. I really think I can create a flashlight of the future with my hand-tools! I believe Old Lumens will do the right thing and make deadline the end of March 31st. From me lurking his thousands of posts, I believe he will make this right, as no sign-up deadline was specified in the OP. Plus, I secretly, ok openly admire now, Old Lumens work/mods he does!
Thanks Pinkpanther. I know I need it. To be honest, I'll be happy just to complete my build. There are some seriously talented members competing. I'm looking forward to what everyone creates.
Mr O-L. Can I get a ruling on something? Do the following tools qualify for hand build:
Table saw?
Scroll saw?
Torches (not flashlight, I mean, propane, etc)?
The first two seem to fit under the category of "Cutoff saw including band saw". They are typical tools average people could have and operate. Definitely require the use of your hands. Had mine forever just for doing work around the property.
