COMPETITION...the end is nigh

[Karl]

I doubt i'm going to get mine finished (started?) before the deadline. I did have the last week in October set aside for construction, but i've just booked a job in for that week.

If the deadline were put back, i'd make a determined effort to ensure it's done by the new deadline. As is, I will probably only get the timber dimensioned - and I doubt that constitutes "under construction". :lol:

Cheers

Karl :lol:

I'm going to be rather embarrassed if I win the advanced section. Imagine the X Factor with only one person appearing every week :lol:

Would that be worse that being beaten by an unfinished entry?

(Sadly, all entries have to be finished to be in consideration... Looks like you're on your own, then. )

 

[jlawrence]

Fingers crossed and I might 'just' have mine finished in time.
I've got this week to get it done as I'm hardly at home for the rest of the month.
WIP stuff will be along shortly for the desk part of mine.

Sorry, deadlines is deadlines...the Competition will close at midnight on the 31 October - Rob

Ouch! :shock:

Come on Rob relent just a little bit please please please. I'm going to be rather embarrassed if I win the advanced section. Imagine the X Factor with only one person appearing every week :lol:

In robs defence i'd say that i moved the dealine on the turning comp just 12 hours and was subsequently subject to a storm of tirade pms from a member who didnt win a category after the succesful winner was a very slightly late entrant.

if i were doing it again i'd be inclined to follow the line robs taking here - its not his fault that we havent got it together in time to enter - the fact that you did show that its possible

BSM - thanks for the support, appreciated The competition has been running now for six months and I did say right at the beginning that it was a serious competition with serious prizes. Clearly some entrants have 'fallen behind' :wink: with their organizational and making schedule. Whilst I have some sympathy for those that have had health issues, such as Frugal... the deadline remains midnight on the 31 Oct...that's if I can persuade Philly to go without a couple of hours beauty sleep and stay awake until the appointed hour :lol: - Rob

Looks like this judging lark's going to be a breeze, then!

How does it work, Rob? Do we all get put up in a posh hotel for the weekend while we consider our verdicts?

No?

That's a fair point Rob - i'll see if I can pull my finger out between now and the deadline.

I did think we might all adjourn to the Seychelles for a couple of weeks to have a good ponder :lol: The criteria is laid out on the Competition Entry thread, fairly straight forward I hope [-o< ...any queries send me a PM - Rob

nae problem - some entrants may have fallen behind but others like me never even started - if you look at my blog you will see the length of my swimbo inspired to do list - which gives a good indication why.

may be next year if the skills have improved sufficiently by then

Here's my entry, hope you like it Brad

Just got to work out how to upload it to my website :lol: :lol: :lol: maybe not, might put the customers off :shock:

 

[Ironballs]

Nice work Doc :lol:

 

[Escudo]

Well, I am on target to complete my project.

Come on fellas get cracking!

I think that it perfectly reasonable. The competition was opened 6 months ago. Surely part of any competition like this is showing that you can do the job in the time allocated.

There was a comment about sympathy for people like me who have been ill. Well in fairness that has only been the past couple of weeks, most of the time has been procrastination, but if that means I do not get it completed then I have no one to blame but myself.

If Lord Nibbo wins because he is the only one who pulled his finger out and got on with it then he deserves to win because he is the only one who pulled his finger out and got on with it.

 

[Mr Ed]

If Lord Nibbo wins because he is the only one who pulled his finger out and got on with it then he deserves to win because he is the only one who pulled his finger out and got on with it.

I agree.

19 days to go...tempus fugit - Rob

I believe Escudo is in the Advanced group and he's promised to be finished with in a week :lol: I won't feel so lonely or embarrassed then \/

If the project contains two pieces ( chest of draws and a bedside cabinet)are you still restricted to 6 photos?

Yes. More pics means the judges have got twice as much information to disseminate about your project and it allows you to have an unfair advantage over the other competitors as you then will have twelve pics instead of six. Sorry, six pics it has to be...so make 'em good 'uns

Three projects now in the entries thread - Rob

 

[Ironballs]

Lacquer arrived in the post today, my target is to get it built with a finish on early next week so that I can then hand it over to the glaziers

 

[woodbloke]

14 days to go and nice to see one or two more projects ('specially Frugal's) appearing in the Competiton Entries thead - Rob
