new flashlight design

Very interesting.

Oh man, no picsā€¦ I am dying to see the progress.

Second try for the pics

very nice!
thanks for sharing your work
tritium slots? :wink:

That is so cool. Have been on a 14500 kick lately and that is nice. Wish I could justify ine.

Thereā€™s definitely plenty of room for tritium slots, any suggestions on where may look cool?

? :student:

I would like to see a 3d plus or X under the emitters on the front.

Actually on the front under the emitter there is quite a bit of meat, perfect spot for tritium now that you mention it!

Just made the bezel, by far the hardest part yet. Itā€™s tiny, super fine threads, tiny, super small and oh yeah I donā€™t have a lathe so I had to make it on my mill lol. It came out pretty good definitely the piece Iā€™m most proud of so far. The lighting sucks in my garage and the finish right off the machine looks much better in person but hereā€™s a couple of pics.

Looking really good, great skills.

Finally finished! Taken forever but I have a completed light all made from scratch! let me know what you guys think!

Lead with the last paragraph in the OP. Thatā€™s my best suggestion.

I would like to see that kind of product.

Looks really nice!

Definitely a unique design. I enjoyed reading this thread very much :beer:

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I would buy one if not to expensive :wink:

looks great, congratulations
I look forward to your success.

Now that I have everything ironed out Iā€™m placing orders for a few batches worth of components and am launching a limited Pre-order! I hope to have the first lights shipped out this month depending on the anodize. I have some test bodies being done right now so I can choose what colors will be offered and should have them by Friday. I am only tanking a small number of orders so I anticipate on selling out pretty quickly and anyone who orders will be emailed a selection sheet for choosing the led, the color, and the optic. Thanks to everyone who has helped out its really appreciated! Not sure if i am allowed to link this but I created a site for ordering Pointermachieworks.com If its a problem posting that on here i will remove.

No problem adding a link: https://www.pointermachineworks.com/

Did you hook up with Richard at MtnE for the driver? Richard hasn't been very active as of late, but he's still selling/supporting his products as I understand.

The price is out of my league for an EDC unfortunately.

Curious design. As for tritium, Iā€™d go for something more like this, naturally in line with a groove already there (just need inset cuts for clean vial mountingā€”either per vial, or one long channel to accommodate multiple vial sizes), well protected :

I havenā€™t been in contact with Richard but I am purchasing my drivers from Mtnelectronics. The price is on the higher end unfortunately but thereā€™s 9 individually machined parts that are fairly intricate and the machine time is pretty high. I would like to offer a discount for forum members of 10 percent if you use BLF1
