Been quietly watching from the sidelines,I too can almost see the makings of a popularity contest.... I believe the build should be done with someone of average knowledge and with average tools needed to 'assemble' said implement kits. Someone with the know-how but with the 'average' tools and equipment to carry out said task.
Not to disregard the talented TBN members, there are a lot of VERY qualified personal such as spudland dave, 4shorts and others who have presented quite some impressive builds like heavily modified box blades, power rakes to snow wings.
ETA should have the final say, TBN should provide the contestants from the very deep pool of talent that is here. I just feel it would be better done with the average 'thrifty' person with there average tools and know how, That's the kind of people who will be buying these kits. TBN is chock full of them, me being one of them.
Therefor, I nominate ME. I have a 120V lincoln mig welder, grinders, clamps, pneumatic tools, torch and so on. I have built and or have rebuilt my own implements mostly from remnants of other farm implements such as a sprayer, cultivator, tree tie ring, tree seedling planter and forks for my F.E.L. Most of which was done LONG before T.B.N.
Heck, thats why I joined T.B.N for more ideas, Ideas like Teds implement kits. I think it's a stellar idea all the way around.
