CRX Rotary - 6th Annual BLF/ Old Lumens Contest Winner

beautiful work!

Such a refined and precise bit of craftsmanship there CRX
I take my hat off to you

I’m starting to believe that you are not human CRX. Is there something your not telling us? Should we be afraid? :sunglasses:

Thanks chaps :beer:

Course not, I like you guys :innocent:

Soo stay on your good side. Okay got it :wink:

Now that you have the protective case you must be ready to send it to me :smiley:

I agree with Moose, your skills are not normal :exclamation:

Wow! Unbelievably beautiful! :beer: Need to have this one Mass Produced! :heart_eyes: :+1:

Cheers David

In less than a month you can make this masterpiece of illumination and we don’t have a FW3A yet. Amazing. :smiley:

I love it, very classy yet practical. Hard to succeed at both. You are a talented man my friend. Great job. Congrats.

I say congrats because the win I think is in the bag.

I am considering making a piston drive light at some point, which may or may not be completed before the FW3A :smiley:

Once again an impressive light CRX. You keep improving your builds :+1: :+1:

Piston rod light sounds nice. I have a piston in use as an ashtray, looks nice too. And not so complicated to make :smiley:

I saw what you’ve done there :smiling_imp:

BTW, and regarding to you flashlight, I like the “diffuser” option :wink: “Recycling” materials is surely a neat way to improve the work already done :+1:

So Berrocas are the secret to your talents. :+1:

Just had time to catch up reading through the finished build - Outstanding build, & really well doccumented. Hats off :face_with_monocle:

Do you have anny Beroccas left? :beer:

I am astonished, astounded, awestruck, bowled over, etc.

When I see the title of this thread I keep thinking your crx has a bridgeport rx-7 mazda motor

Awesome build as always!!

Holy crap, I love this! Extremely well done!

Way cool!! I love to go to the large images and zoom in on the detail. Fine stuff you do!!!

I received my prize from the contest, the Reylight LAN Mokume Gane.

I decided to perform some tweaks & tuning, swap the emitter, add a little more copper heatsinking, install all the tritium vials and add an electronic tail switch with ramping firmware driver.
