Winter Build Off 2020 - Air Space

I spent the better part of the day cleaning out my workshop. I need some better ways to organize templates. I don't know what the coming weeks will bring, but I'm expecting some building will be happening. :D

I also work in healthcare, so like many of my colleagues, I'll be working every day for at least the next month. This is gonna be a while I think. :unsure:
 
Ya know,
Right now, due to the current situation, I can't think of a better time to have another build off, than right now.

I looked at our discussion for themes in the build off from last year.
I was willing to help with a smaller build off, mostly focused on finishing old projects.

But I'm wondering if we need to rethink this.
Should we bump it up a bit, or just leave it as finish old projects.
If we bump it up, I don't think we need to spend a lot time discussing. I'd just go with a "Free for All" theme (Build whatever you want)

Thoughts?

Proposed deadline???
 
Have you got an electric upright? :D

Nope but it's on my short list, which is pretty long:

-EUB
-Solid body piccolo
-Short scale acoustic bass (basically, a huge uke bass)
-Some actual ukuleles, maybe a tenor to start
-A chapman stick
-I have parts for a warwick-inspired 4 string

It's just that after so many recent builds completed, I don't want to jump into something too quick and get burned out!
 
Are we expecting any last minute entries?

Similar voting rules as last year? Such as "We can't enforce a 'don't vote for your own entry' rule, but we can call you rude names if you do." I've always supported making things easier on the volunteer(s). Thanks, by the way.

No last minute entries that I know of, but just in case
Yes, same voting as last year. 3 votes. With 15 entries this year, I'm still really tempted to raise it to 4

As 2groggy indicates:
To @all builders
Please don't vote for yourself. We'll be getting over a thousand total votes coming in. Please give your fellow builders the feedback they deserve by voting for them

If you vote for yourself, I will unleash @2groggy and his rude names, the 2 prong attack of @Fat Freddy with his :drool: on YOU along with his tied up servant boy, and I banish you to the land of balsa wood. Go try to make a neck out of just balsa. Buuuuuwwwwaaahhhhhhh!
