Berry picker comp registration

[falling rain]

Well I'll come clean and admit I havn't got around to making one yet
As I suspect maybe the case with some of the other people who showed some initial interest. Do folks want a couple of weeks extension or go with what we've got. Which appears to be around 2 entries at the moment
I'm easy, we can vote on the 2 entries or if everyone agrees (of course including the 2 who've got their backsides in gear) we can give it a couple more weeks or so.............................. I'm as guilty as anyone else, but do still want to make one.
What d'ya think

 

[clcuckow]

I am all right with the extension and isn't it 4 entries?

 

[clcuckow]

make that 5 as Sam did two.

 

[JohnC]

Im embarrased to say I forgot I was making some knifes and got caught up with that.. sorry..

 

[falling rain]

OK 5 entries it is. Shall we say another 4 weeks then...give people plenty of time.?.............15th April sound about right ?

 

[clcuckow]

That might give me time to make another but what about the other entrants? Might not 2 weeks be better since some of use that have already entered one might not want to take the extra time to either improve there entry pickers of make a 'better' one?Just my two peneth worth, what do the other 'guys' think?

I don't mind extending the competition. I might even try to produce a more photogenic entry!

 

[rickety-root]

i have made one but haven't gotten round to photographing and posting it yet - was going to do it after work this evening, as today was the deadline.

 

[jon r]

i say another 2 weeks

 

[woodwalker]

thankyou very much for extending the deadline. I have even more work on top of me than the last time I posted, but I should be clear in a couple of weeks. I have a couple of designs up my sleeve for this one...

At last, here is my effort. Not terribly nice to look at, maybe (bit of a Franfenstein's monster!), and not terribly natural I know, but cheap and I think it would work, which I can say since I can't actually try it out!

Made from a 25p Asda fish slice and a 50p Ikea jug, ten minutes with a Dremil and three pot rivets.

Looks pretty good to me!

I was thinking that one of the dustpans that are quite enclosed with a similar modification to the front could work well.

 

[jon r]

nice work! looks really professional!

When is the closing date?

 

[clcuckow]

When is the closing date?

That would be down to falling rain.

 

[falling rain]

Well as a lot of people have been busy, shall we give it till 15th April. I know it's a lot longer than we originally planned, but there's no rush.
So we'll give it another couple of weeks to give folks a bit longer

confused! - just noticed this thread and thought - 'eek, wheres my post gone' - then i realised there are two similar threads so as not knowing which one is the 'master' i'll link to my other post HERE!

 

[jon r]

oh yea! i didnt realise that either! This thread is called "berry picker comp registration" and the other is called "Berry picker competition"

 

[falling rain]

I'll be taking a small break for a while so I won't be able to continue with this. Feel free someone else to pick up the organisation and good luck.

Cheers and thanks for those who took part, there's some good looking 'pickers 'bin made.

 

[clcuckow]

Well the 15th has been and gone, are we ready for the poll?

 

[jon r]

cool yea! i forgot! M ay the best man win!
