Hey tp, got any reservations about your build?
I reserve the right to be reserved about my reservations…
Updated the first few posts with some build info and pictures…

I like the bowl, it gives a nice touch with it’s decorations. 
That surely is a lot of work! But I have the feeling the reward will be the giggling worthy of a whole flock of schoolgirls.

I am really curious how that bowl works as a reflector. I picked up a 6" stainless bowl at Ikea about a year ago to use as a reflector in an XM-L build but haven't gotten artound to making anything with it yet. Really a bummer about the poor heat conduction. It will put a big damper on anything I use it for if I decide to still use it. Must keep an eye out for aluminum bowls if yours actually works well.
I can't wait to see the rest of it come together! It reeks of awesomeness!! :bigsmile:
Now that’s a monster flashlight, if I dare call it that! I also am interested in seeing the salad bowl beam shot. My guess is a huge hotspot, but I’m wondering if it is ringy because of the bowl shape.
You’re making a runway approach light.
Nice! Exactly what I would expect from a guy with a forum name that combines Texas and Pyro. 8)
All the good comments have been used so I’ll settle for “my, what a big hand you have.”. I’m speechless but I can still type.
Where does one find a lens for that bad boy?? :O
A window shop
AR coated celopane.
Hopefully Old Lumens will make custom lenses…
LOL!
Wow, this thing is gonna be a monster!
with what Garry said.
And I want one.
Or 2. For the Bull Bar on my Escape.
It’s way too small…
