YuvalS's Hand Made Class, 7th Annual BLF/OL contest entry topic



Original post had only 5 images so don't worry you missed nothing

Finally after few days of rain I was able to continue working on the body.
I had to saw the inside of the aluminum plates after drilling the holes so I mounted a Jigsaw to a wooden plate and took it to mt "worksop"


I decided to leave some space on the middle plate to mount the driver and slave board to it so I had to saw each plate individually

Apparently my "Table Saw" was not a great Idea and I was unable to saw precisely

And after some filing it looks a bit better

It all looks the part. :slight_smile:

great! :+1:

I cannot see pic number 2 or 5 in post #39.



Fixed...

Today I glued all 3 layers together:

(Pictures are numbered to help raccoon city report broken links )

1. Using heat sink plaster

2. Putting some pressure while it cure and keeping all drills aligned

3. After it cured

4. And after some sanding to remove excessing plaster

Taking shape nicely :+1:

I nominate Yuval to win the Determined build contest. Straight up solid work, regardless of the where when and how…

Nice work Yuval. Its coming along nicely. :beer:

Didn’t go out in the rain though, couple points off for that :smiley:

+1 This is a great build :nerd_face:

Very interesting so far YuvalS! Keep up the good work.

So it has been a while since I posted (or worked on the light) but today I did a huge progress:

drilled, tapped and glued the screws for the helmet mount:

And also drilled and tapped the cable gland and momentary switch:

For last, I cut and file the front window lense:

Unfortunately I am still waiting for the driver, slave board and waterproof cable connector to arrive by mail.
I guess it is delayed because all of the 11.11, cyber monday etc. selles but hope I will get it soon.

I think CRX will know what this song quote is from…… the old git! :wink:
‘if you wanna be the best, and stand out from the rest, oooh dedications what ya need!’
Right there above is dedication. VERY well done so far!

I have tried reloading and 2 different devices, but the images in post #50 do not come up for me. makes no difference if I try to right click them and open in new tab/window. The images do show in previous posts though.



I hoped that by now, I will figure out how to embed images from google but it makes me hard time every post :( I changed images of #50 to imgur, hope it solves the issue

I find images on google confusing to post in forumd. Working niw

How do I order one? :beer:

Looking good.

Old git huh!?
Imma break a record on you! Whippersnapper! :smiley:

Just came back from a caving trip in Romania and find the heat sing waiting in the mailbox so I had to cut and fix it to the light.


Copied the light dimensions:


Roughly saw it by hand:


Removed unneeded ribs to create place for nuts:


Attached to light and file the edges:


Body is now completed and I still did not get the electronics from Fasttech (shipped on Dec 2nd) maybe I start working on the rear battery case
