Nice surprise about this shorter form. Can you tell us what it is you are talking/writing about?
Has any info. about this shorter form been posted before (and i just missed it)?
Thanks for the comments.
I got a little more work done on the pill assy., will update the build log later today.
wow, that’s some out of the box thinking going on there!
A sleeve with some kind of twist and latch/ peg’n’hole set up might help join the 2 halves together and allow you to change the battery. The solution to the switch mystery is going to be interesting 
Wow! great stuff
Great start!
This is a great idea. A battery body. Can't wait for more :)
very unique and cool factor.
Thanks guys.
Yeah, I was thinking along those lines, unless I can find a threaded solution that is thin enough to be inside the ‘body’, yet still have enough i.d. for the battery to pass through.
Clever!
I’m amazed of the nice builds I’m seeing this week, the idea of the contest was great!
I may have sorted the length problem & the tailcap assy. at the same time.
2nd post updated.
I hope you got a discount on the ruler as it was used. Its amazing what you can find if you look hard enough. The nuts even come complete with knurling. Now thats got to be worth an extra couple off points.
wow you guys cant stop to amaze me with your ideas!
The part that amazed me the most is the way you modified the batteries. J)
Done a little more work this w/end, not as much as I would have liked, due to family commitments.
2nd post updated with new progress.
Coming along nicely FmC. It looks like coke cans are the flavour off the month in mods.
that’s some very neat work you’re doing there! Coke can’s are awesome, they’re useful for all kinds of things.
That is looking quite nice! Great job FmC. Maybe I should start my build soon…
Great find on the brass. I can hear it now ” can I help you sir?“, ”no thanks, just looking”. No idea how many times I’ve wandered the isles looking for “I don’t know what”. Borrowed my share of tape measures too.
I’d suggest to find another shop if they don’t supply customer service. Whoever heard off a plumbers supply not helping you find the fitting that’s just right to build flashlights with. Whats happened to this world. Unbelievable.
Still watching.
