Interested … nice.
It’s actually raw G10. The stuff you normally see as knife scales? Only much thicker. Raw meaning no attempt to color it was made when it was produced. We’re used to seeing black, even a few colors these days… recently even some knife scales in the jewel hued light green of it’s raw state. It’s a high pressure laminate fiberglass/epoxy material that is extremely dense and stable.
I’ve got a few 12” rounds that are over 2” thick, they’re heavy! lol
I’ve had it for 20+ years, it was actually a 16” square sheet 13/16” thick with a hole in the center and drilled/tapped holes for mounting the machine that does the surgical procedure of knee replacements. I cut out a square on my table saw, then used an end mill bit in my table top drill press to get an L bracket shape. Sanded it to profile on my belt sander, finished sanding by hand.
Turningbluechips…… what’s happening with the V2 Prototype?
Looking forward to it!!! Still very interested……. :+1:
Life got in the way. Been a busy couple weeks bouncing around from shop to shop trying to get a new job up and running then my boiler decided to take a crap on me last week. I have the V2 programmed save for a couple minor tweaks. I hope to get something cut out this week to send down to Texas for some Dale testing and approval.
Oh YeaH! 
Ok… thanks for the info. Sounds good…… 
Feel free to cut out two & send me one to test.
I am sold on your design, handle & all. That is what I want to test. I’m not interested in changing anything.
Have money… will send to defray costs. Let me know. :+1:
Another note. Be on the lookout for a giveaway of the V1 prototype. I should get a chance to make a post for it later this evening.
Thank you very much
Now you just need to find room on it for a quick detach swivel and 2nd tripod fitting to replace the one you are using for the handle! (mostly kidding)
That’s in the works right after I get the heated grip and massage options worked out. Lol.
So a heavy copper plug that connects directly to the MCPCB, smart!
I’ll update the OP with more pics over the weekend. It’s friday evening and I’m going out for a few beers. 
Looking good!!! Enjoy the cool ones…. . :+1:
Looking good Tbc.
Nice!! :+1:
Count me in. One for sure.
Possibly two
This looks like a nice utilitarian design. Button accessibility is a very nice feature.
Have you considered adding a partial-depth cut (maybe need a mill instead of waterjet?) on either side of the curved beam section, tapered off before the ends to keep the mounting features intact? It would give the beam a t-shaped cross-section with the cross of the t towards the light. That would remove a bunch of material and keep most of its strength. Maybe also give it a more finished look, depending on taste.
What’s the purpose of the short link with countersunk holes? So you can adjust the position of the handle relative to the light?
ETA: larger inside corner radii leading up to the boss with the counterbore where you screw to the light might look a little sleaker.
Profiling is 100% not happening.
The short link attaches to the GT mounting bracket and a handle or grip would mount to it like the 5/8” bar did on V1. Its countersunk on both sides for a 1/4-20 flat head socket screw, making it ambidextrous and adjustable.
And then he calls me out on the part I cheated on… The boss made it easy for me to make the mounting hole for the first one. I have a setup part now so that could be cleaned up for sure. A taper with a .750” radius top and bottom would look good I think.
Attractant.
Nectar of the flower to the bee.
I should probably test fit this thing with the V1 “grip” before it gets sent off to gi.lumens in the morning. At this point I can only assume the bracket fits the light…
Wow…… I think you nailed it!!
