January Competition Project Discussion

[Wood spoiler]

I think the bit you are missing that in effect there is a single posting day being the 24th giving the judges a week to consider them.

 

[Blister]

yeap i get all that and thats what i've done BUT whats stopping me or any one else turning another one or their 1st after the 24th ,if we've got a week to upload the pics then the deadline isn't the 24th or am i missing something

I was hoping for peoples honesty , and not do what you have just suggested

But yes you can bend the rules if your feel comfortable with your decision to say you have produced a bowl and know you haven't :?

it was the two posts above mine that got me thinking (9 days)

i'd need alot more than a weeks practice to make my entry any different lol

up until today i thought we had 24hrs to post our pics , maybe an idea for the following months a 24hr time slot to post the pics

Good idea in principal , but I can foresee some photo uploading problems as some newer member may not have posted images before

We will see :mrgreen:

Rob

Rob

You are already on the ready list ?

So whats the 9 days bit about :?

Allen

Am I misunderstanding how this is organised. I took it that the 24th was the drop dead date for indicating that we wished to take part, report that we had completed an entry and there was then a week in which to post one's pictures.

There does seem to be some confusion on this point and a bit - no, not a bit - a total clarification needs to be made.

I've done my turning but I've have never photoed any of my work so that's a learning curve, and I've never posted anything to UKWS, so that's a second learning session. I was reckoning on having a week to get to grips with all this.

My mistake if I've got it wrong, and as a late entrant who hadn't read all the earlier posts, I'm quite prepared to accept that the misunderstanding is mine, but I do feel that some others are in the same boat.

Rob

Chill out :?

TOTAL clarification !!

I took it that the 24th was the drop dead date ( Deadline ) for indicating that we wished to take part CORRECT and report that we had completed an entry CORRECT and there was then a week in which to post one's pictures. CORRECT ( as soon as possible after 24th ) for judging

There does seem to be some confusion on this point and a bit - no, not a bit - a total clarification needs to be made. :? Does it ?

Please be aware this is a forum challenge to encourage people to take part I wanted to have as few rules as possible but as the 3 weeks have passed more rules have been added to clarify questions asked

You have said what needs to be done above

Please be aware this is the first challenge I have offered to run , I have also financed the awards , and will pay 13 lots of postage sending out the awards

I will attempt to do better in February

How do you do that Paul?

[CHJ]

You use the browse function to upload the file. Just make sure it's smaller than 256 k.

Thanks Chas, I'll have a go.

Many thanks Allen

With 50 people taking part there is always going to be those that interpret things in the way they want, and I suspect that I've fallen into that category !! Many apologies if I seemed to be rattling the cage a bit, but then like Dibs with his router plates. taking on something like this which at first glance seems very straightforward, you suddenly find it has developed horns.

Everything will I'm sure work fine from now onwards - I'm sure that this is just the typical teething troubles with something new.

At least I, and I suspect several others, have now found that posting pictures is going to be a straight forward task. Now to see if I can get a couple of photos to show off my masterpiece

Again with apologies

Rob

 

[Melinda_dd]

Ditto on Rob's last post

I think the challenge is a fantastic idea, and has really motivated a lot of people.
Hats off to blister, the judges and all the people who are making this happen. Please please don't let the teething problems and people's minds working overtime effect future challenges, and your opinion of running them.

Now to stop crawling!!

Woop woop I've done it... I have a bowl!!
Please do the ticking required!

 

[Blister]

OK noted

Thanks

Hi all

We are at the point that all the minor "niggles" can be forgotten and we can enjoy the brilliant challenge for what it is - a motivation for expanding our knowledge and our abilities of our chosen hobby.

Really looking forward to seeing everyone's efforts and hoping to gets bags of inspiration and idea's. . Especially having loads of piccies to look through! 8)

Also looking forward to trying different things. I even had a go at a spindle today in preparation for doing a candlestick next month. I knew I had those "other" gouges for a reason.

Good luck everyone and thanks to Blister =D> =D> =D>

Well done Allen for organising this and why does everyone have to make it so complicated?

It's just a bit of fun to encourage everyone to make something and show it to the others but some people take things so seriously :roll:
