Wish mine looked that nice at this point. If this were butt sitting competition I'd be all over it. Nice Mini btw

Nice pics Nerkg.  I guess I'm a bit of a sap, but I like how many of your pics seem to have family time as the main feature   Looks like fun was had by all in covering you with those wood chips!

Personally, I love the cut/profile on my MBB, and as they settle a bit everything looks nicer with each wear. It's cool to change the cut though if that's your thing - personalization can be good! The denim used on these is pretty stellar, so I'm looking forward to see what people end up accomplishing as time goes by. Cheers

Nice! Great pics, and I love the sense of adventure. Maybe one day I'll learn how to use a camera so I can take some nice shots too ::)

I think you should keep 'em like that… 

@Seul:

Yeah: this denim IS next level… 

Agreed. Is it bad that I can't quite seem to stop stroking it? Kinky.

@Nerkg:

I think you posted this In pictures only thread.. That thread is for pictures only comments only if highly nessessary

You're right, I did post this in the pictures only thread.  I thought I was within the rules given the guidelines set forth in the first post:

@Megatron1505:

• The only text allowed is by the author of the picture, and only then if they feel something requires explanation.
  […]
• This is where you CAN post you challenge pics, but you can (and should) also post them in the main thread.

I'll happily remove the text in the pics thread, though the pics may not make as much sense in that case.  I hadn't seen anyone else posting their challenges, so I took a chance and posted mine as the first (as far as I know).  Can someone confirm?  Thanks.

Challenge #1
Cross post from pics thread!

So a friend of mine asked for some help installing some gauge sensors into his STi.  As one of the themed challenges is called Denim Devils/Denim Angels, I figured this might be a good opportunity to have fun, get drunk, and do work, while completing the challenge at the same time.  With luck, this will complete the requirements.  Here goes!

And so I have arrived!  It's fine, please don't all get up at once….  Just let me get into position and we can get to work.

Ah yes, I've finally found the right spot.  From here I can tell you all exactly what to do with laser-like precision.  Perfect! No wait, that's not it.  Don't make me come over there!

Too late.

Actually it's not too bad down here.  The only thing that would make it better is a beer.  Or two.

Finally we get to The Important Part!  Cheers!

It was a late night and much beer was consumed.  Maybe too much actually, because the damn thing didn't start >:(.  Turned in for the night (because who doesn't like a sleepover?!  I'd say we told ghost stories, but we just passed out instead).  Ended up being a bad connector here and crossed wire there, but in the sober morning we finally got it going.  And that's all she wrote!  Or should I instead say "that's all I wrote?"****

x-post from pics thread.  First pic is pre-soak

…yes I'm barefoot, but just pretend I'm wearing some über cool shoes or something

Post-soak and with shoes! Might have been able to size down to 35, but IMHO they still look good regardless.

Cheers!

Reporting in with a super quick pre-soak pic.  Been feeling pretty sick, so this is all I'll be able to do until I recover.  I might have even been able to size down to a 35 but we'll see once they dry.

…yes I'm barefoot, but just pretend I have some über cool shoes on or something and I promise to post better photos once I'm feeling a little less trashed

As promised, here they are: post-soak and with shoes! Might have been able to size down to 35, but IMHO these look pretty good in this size.

Nice pics! I'll admit I always have a bit of a soft spot for kids doing what they do 

Damn you guys are amazing.  I just received a notification informing me that a shipping label has been created - you guys are machines!  100+ pairs of 25oz denim armor hemmed and chainstitched over the course of just a short, bloody fingered, bleary-eyed and hung over weekend, and you're still on schedule.  Super impressive.  I don't think I need to mention that I'm pretty stoked….

Oops.  Here I am being a goof and what you wanted was a post with some actual substance

Okay then, here goes:  IMHO a Pics Only update section with minimal text would be ideal since that would make it easier to see not only denim progression (and therefore more manageable for the judges), but also to determine who is consistently keeping up with the rules and spirit of the competition without having to sift through a ton of comments at the same time.

That said, having and making comments is part of the fun.  What I'd propose is there be a Pics Only section with each contestant placing a link in their first post to their personal Comments Only thread section where they can elaborate on their pictures and people may discuss.

Anyway, I'm sure others much more experienced will come up with a more elegant solution but hopefully this will help get the ball rolling.  Cheers

MAJOR FRIKKIN UPDATE TIME !!!!!

Ok, so here we are only 2 weeks away from the start of the HWDC2

Yeah buddy!!

Picked this one up last weekend, and I'm rather pleased with it

Have to say I've been super impressed as well. Let no one question the love and dedication the IH crew has to the community. Cheers!

The possible delay is a bummer, but everyone has already patiently waited this long so I don't see a huge difference in waiting a little longer. I'm sure the MBBs will be worth it when they're finished and I'll still be looking forward to wearing my pair for the first time.
