DONE, FINISHED, The TS Maglite Super Shorty Mule - Beam Shots are Up

Do you sleep? Whats your favorite coffee? Keep it up OL. Back to work tomorrow. Have you an area where you keep all your parts? If so can you post a picture as you just seem to pull parts out of thin air. Cheers.

Updated the OP with more photos

I pull them outofmyarse,LOL.

I have some metal shelves that hold most of the components and other supplies. I also have a tool box.

Remember, you asked:

90% of the tools are all at least 30+ years old. I used to work on my own vehicles back when it was fun to set points and rebuild carbs. So I kept everything all these years and now they help a lot in the process.

I did not bother with photos of supplies, like paint, sandpaper, adhesives, etc...

What and where did you get those 6 reflectors and how do they work?

From CNQG They fit a Maglite D head, after a little massage. One style is deep, one is shallow.

[quote] I'm already making use of the King leds. This is one of them. I just added some copper rounds to back the star up and since the pill screws into the body, it should transfer heat fairly well. [/quote]

"King LEDs"? Huh? Did I miss something?
oldbobk used to say these TSC 3AA lights made for great simple XM-L emitter swaps. I was just in TSC the other day and I saw these were marked up to $14.99.

The LEDs that I took out of the FF wannabe. I am using them in other stuff.

Ah, ok.

all those tools! Great collection! And so well organised. I am afraid I am not allowed a lot of space for my flashlight hobby, here's about the whole hobby, no expansion will be tolerated anymore (note my high degree of organisation ):

Oh man. So original. So cool. Another awesome, entertaining and genius mod. Love it! Thanks O-L!

Great mod OL with some great pics. I also store my stuff in similar containers.
With the right tools in the right hands a person can make anything, and your mods are proof of that. :wink:
Thanks for sharing OL. :bigsmile:

I'm glad to know others use those clear plastic compartment boxes for parts. I have tried now for a long while to find something better. I get tired of trying to find what box has what parts!!!! I should be smart enough by now to start with the bottom one in the stack!!!

Anyone have a better parts storage method??

Dan.

Just use a black marker and label each compartment, and/or label the sides. If the contents change, Alcohol will clean off the marker.

Won’t fit a 32650 inside. Just the 3AA holder - barely at that.

They are good for XM-L swaps. Even though it’s a plastic lens and reflector, it’s an inexpensive way to have a very bright light. I hardly ever find them in our TS, they go fast, so I feel lucky when I do find one there.

Sorry the old fool being me posted this in the wrong OL thread. I have copied it here as its all still relevant. Sorry and cheers.

Nice!! I’d be a possible taker if you sell it.

The light is finished. Beam shots tonight

Are you home yet? Are your home yet? Are you home yet? Are you home ye?…

Nice looking light!

Very cool-looking stubby !
