tail clicky only,was going to be in the head but would have made the light longer
Nice work LTP!!
Nice progress
A little more progress today
Internal thread completed
Took a little to make it fit ,but happy now.
So that knurled part is 80mm in diameter?
had a few minutes ,thought I would add fins
they start at 3mm deep and finish at 10mm depth
3mm spacing , should keep it cool for the first 5 minutes,
try and do a bit more tomorrow
knurled handle 70 mm dia.head 85
Are those threads square or trapezoid? How did you cut them?
Is that a phone picture?
yes square thread pp ground my own tool slow and steady
next bit is a little boring
ended up with this
spun it around just want to shape the head a little,not sure how yet,
next week,.
and yes mrs dnf all pics are from the s5 as it is easy to upload with the app,

Do you have a mill?
I have this Chinese mill drill
The threads look real good LTP.
I was happy enough for my first attempt
V threads are better.
Realized I needed a bezel
skimmed bit of flat
turned it to suit
trimmed the back of the head a little
its a sizable thing
now to get time to finish and source some orings
Nice re-purpose of a cylinder shaft LTP. :+1:
Its coming along nicely LTP. Not hard to tell your new camera pictures. :+1:
Sorry to dissapoint. But i just wiped the crud off the phone lens
Its finally done.

Thanks 4 watching
Very nice build! That will take some time to warm up, even with a 70.2. Is the led on a 20mm board? Any idea what current it draws?
The beam looks impressive!
