Carly Simon - Anticipation

This is looking sweet :beer:

How can I get a credit card with my BLF name on it?

Photoshop, or change your name :slight_smile:

make sure the TIR does not get damaged by the UV

Interesting, what emitters did you have in there?
I was just planning on a low power 5mm UV emitter in the centre of the optic, probably 395nm or above as I noticed 365nm gets blocked by the plastic. I might also drill a centre hole in the optic but these decisions are made during the building.

I would definately go to a UV 365nm Emitter like Nichia 276A which needs no filter blocking visible light

Then you need to drill a hole

For that picture someone had hard driven 365nm and thought it were 395nm ones
Likely 1.5W UV radiance per emitter

A nice wee delivery today means I can get started, a slab of copper, the rosewood and some bit's n' pieces.

The Dalbergia latifolia has a purple hue to it which is interesting, goes well with the copper I thought.

This piece is cut into a blank shape for making ukeulele/ mandolin fingerboards.

Hard as rock and sounds great too :D

Today's Tune:

DELIVERY!!

…Sorry - that’s what we yell out at work whenever the postman arrives… :email: :+1:

I refrained from shouting but I did smile and run to the door like an excited kid when I heard heavy stuff hitting the floor :slight_smile:

That’s plenty of rosewood and copper to do more than one of these… :wink:

Looks a lot like the Eye of Sekhmet flashlight from Silent Thunder Ordnance, but smaller! :sunglasses:

Shame Carclo doesn’t make a 40mm catadioptric optic.
