That is sweet
Awesome job CRX!! Is it already complete ? :partying_face:
Thanks mate, not quite finished yet. I got the brass screws fixed in to the copper plates yesterday, took ages countersinking them to the correct depth as I had to keep removing and replacing them individually to get it right without making too much of a mess of it.
Today I got the electronics potted, arctic thermal grease and sealant applied with a piece of diffuser film over the optic.
All I have left to do is sand around the edges and polish it up... again... :-) Will post pictures of that later :THUMBS-UP:
This was the reason why I asked, I saw the picture before and thought that they were probably missing somewhere! And I imagine how hard that might have been :person_facepalming:
But, it’s almost done, and it surely is a really gorgeous flashlight :+1:
Hopefully we’ll see it soon! Keep it up, Iron Man
Looking great!!
Very cool love the copper, GITD, and UV to charge it up. This light screams keeping it away from airport security.
I used some ferric chloride to etch in my username on the back of the light today.
I marked out the letter spacing then using a black pentel marker and tape created the letters.
The etching process took about one hour whereby I applied new fluid and agitated every ten minutes.
This has left a fairly shallow subtle etch which doesn't stand out too much :THUMBS-UP:

Very cool!
Thanks mate. It was a bit of a scary decision choosing to go ahead with it as I haven’t really done this before but it should look good when it’s polished up some more :+1:
Show us the mini build?
Its what
zippo sized?
Cute!!!
I like it a lot better when its undressed.
I already noticed your attention to details, here all 8 screws are “aligned” symmetrically at 45°.
Yes that was time consuming.
I had to assign each hole it’s own designated screw then take tiny slivvers off the bottom of each countersink and keep re-checking every time, plus each screw head is hand sanded.
I’m glad there were not sixteen screws in it :laughing:
take my money? haha
Very nice, CRX. Congratulations on a fine build :+1:
Thanks mate
