Congrats on finishing the build :+1:
s. I reckon you could do with a larger lawn mower 
I love this type of build edsg. The creativity used to build a light like this has to be admired.
I spot more than a few trips to Bunnings here. Did you ask them for sponsorship? 
Looks super strong, like you could run it over and not even flinch :smiling_imp: Nice smooth beam too.
No point in posting the video now seeing as the comp is over.
This is the video on the build its not every thing i skipped some of the build and part 3 will be out soon.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3 will be out soon been lazy!
Sometimes when I wander through the plumbing aisle at a hardware store, I wonder what kinds of lights I could build with the parts. Now I know!
Thanks for posting this up on a rainy day :+1:
I liked the sections with power tools the most 
Nice vids and love the commentary Chris. Thanks for posting it up.
Cool! Thanks.
I know its over but i want a light that works always and i can be proud of so i redone my tail cap. I stuffed the threads on the older tail cap i guess constantly rubbing brass and steel together wore the threads out. So this one i will shut the tail cap and leave it like that lol.

You wore it out? Nice effort.
I think so it was a bit weird from the start it wouldn’t thread on proper you had to angle it and now the original tail cap wont even hold the retaining ring in. The new one holds the retaining ring fine so i guess it wasn’t really me but maybe to much playing around with it made it worse?
Steel will wear away brass right?
Might have just been a dodgy cap to begin with, there is usually some variance in the thread cuts with these type of fittings. Electrical lock rings are the worst, always a couple get tossed from every new box.
Like CRX said. Could also just be very large tolerances in the threads as well.
I know this is way late, but obviously I saw this from the 2020 contest posting and was browsing through the links provided by the OP and, I have to say, this is amazing. I am a newbie, I am slightly “handy” as in a have a SMALL, home shop woodworking shop and some basic metal tools and have only been into flashlights for 6 months but I wanted to consider this contest, and you have inspired me to maybe give it a go. I still know very little about electronics. Amazing Job!
