A while back JohnnyDemonic suggested the idea that we need some more regular competitions around this place. Well the team thinks this is a good idea, and since there is no time like the present, lets kick the competitions off with Johnny D's idea of
Unique Scales!
Here are the rules for this round, adapted from the ones suggested by JohnnyDemonic.
Rules:
Must be a found material. Dig in your garage, basement, shed, barn or local dumpster and find something that you would never make scales from. The idea is to recycle something and make a functional set of scales.
You can't buy the material.
You can buy the pins and washers if you like, but your inventiveness will give you brownie points. Same goes for the wedge.
Take a photo of the material before you begin work. We need to see where/what it came from.
Take a photo half-way through your work.
Take a final photo(s) of your completed work.
Tell us how you did it. Doesn't need to be an essay, just describe your process.
Post your entries here in this thread.
Deadline:
One month from.... Now! I make that 11 November, USA time.
The deadline leaves plenty of time for parts to cure and to find something to work with.
Your design (work) can be beautiful or gross--up to you. It doesn't need to be extreme. Remember, it has to be functional.
The B&B community will vote on their favourite design and choose the winner.
If we get a bunch of entries (and I hope we do) I might narrow it down to five or six and then put up a pole for everyone to vote.
Prize:
Bragging rights & owning a very unique razor. And the mods will provide the winner with the much coveted custom title, signifying to all what a champion you are! The exact wording of the CT will be up to the mods (yes, I know how dangerous this is...) but I'm sure it will be something cool.
Depending on the interest and participation in this contest we might well keep them going as a regular event, so it is up to you to enter and make this a good race!
So have at it, gents. Start raiding the attic, digging through the recycling and hunting the unicorns, because the competition is now... ON!
