As the others said. Looks amazing.
you are the man
wow⌠youâre definitely fit the bill as a flasholic.
spending a lot of time and effort to convert a $3 light 
nevertheless, itâs beautiful looking light 
To me (and many of us here in the Budget Light Community 
)
itâs the satisfaction & challenge of improving a $3 light to a light that is worth more to us, and more functional to us to perform & look like a higher costing light.
And itâs shiny
That is pretty cool. But you basically turned the SK68 into a C78
@DenBarretSAR
How did you get that roughened part in the middle to be wider on the modded sk68?
OH SNAP!
But doing it yourself was a WHOLE lot funner and he learned stuff
That is what makes the sk68 much better! And nicer than the c78 I think. Lumatic had a go on something like this a year ago, but you did it more thoroughly.
The knurled middle part is actually slightly narrower now that the original SK68. i machined the SK body down to a smooth tube, then re-knurled the body area.
its now âRacoon hand sizedâ too. 
That is awesome! Great work DB!
That is pretty sick. Keep us posted.

Well, I don't believe that DBSAR or anyone else ever claimed what we do around here makes sense. Prolly wouldn't be much fun if it did.
Sweet looking light! Iâd buy a light like that.
Topic is now updated with photos and description.
Damn, i which I own the right amount of toysâŚerrrâŚtools to do this al for myself!!!
(once when I worked at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing they had a sweet machining shop! Damn I was thinking about an âinternshipâ thereâŚ)
Great work man!
That´s nice! I´m in!
No really, that is really a nice light!
my next project is to build a small anodizing tank to be able to re-anodized the aluminum parts.
