It ’ll be good
Yep.
I knew it would be Extraordinary and Small
Do you ever stop imagining things :question: :exclamation:
For our good, I just hope you don’t :partying_face:
Good work on this!! :+1:
This is looking sweet
How can I get a credit card with my BLF name on it?
Photoshop, or change your name
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
That’s plenty of rosewood and copper to do more than one of these…
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.
What’s wrong with the 60mm one? I’m sure with your skills, you could find a way to “fit” it to whatever you were going to use the 40mm one for. Maybe a nice “setting” like jewelers do with diamonds?
I really want this light to be as compact as possible, a 40mm version would have been perfect and I don’t think filing these things down is an option
Maybe could use it for a future build.
The wood I ordered is only 55mm wide but still, I’ll give it some thought :+1:
