DIY contest. Beam shots in the op

He ran out of hemorrhoid cream…

I busted up an old tub to get it out of a house. New tub has a new cheesy plastic drain. Other brass parts are ~$4/lb at the salvage yard. Copper is $6/lb. A 10440 will fit through a 5/16” flare nut or a 3/8” compression fitting and an 18650 fits through a 5/8” compression fitting(standard 1/2” copper pipe). DIY threads. :bigsmile:

1st bump.

Welcome aboard buddy.

Bump

If I don't agree with anything else you say I agree with your thoughts, not bad for hand formed. Looking good but it is early days, well one third through.

Another bump(2, to be precise).

That is fantastic work! I just love watching what you can do with metal. It's friggin awesome stuff!

What OL said. Not sure about the friggin though?

Awesome work. Looks great already.

I have a lot of brazing planned for both the copper and the aluminum parts of my build. I guarantee, none of it will look as nice as yours. I've only brazed for utilitarian purposes, never to look good at the same time.

Going to be a lot of bumps ahead.

Looking good so far. :slight_smile: i know what its like to have reserved “tantrum” moments. :stuck_out_tongue:

Another bump

Again RBD nice work. Would you believe this is the first thing that I've actually understood in any of your builds. Quote "thingamajig".

They say patience is a virtue. You must as well as some others here have it by the bucketful. I take me hat of to you all. I'm glad I dont have any as it would drive me nuts spending 3 hours doing what you did let alone the rest of it.

nice to see your progress, I guess is good to have a clear idea and focus on it. I am lost for the moment on too much thinking, like what battery how much, what driver and so on…

That is one nice battery holder! I still have no idea how your flashlight is going to look, even after looking at your photo's over and over lol. I guess we will see sooner or later :)

Thanks Steve, if I could just whip something up I’m not sure if I would bother. Kinda bassackwards, huh?

Ervin I feel your pain. Having only part of an idea is like putting a puzzle together and finding there were pieces missing from the box(or pieces from another puzzle mixed in). I hope you sort it out as I’m enjoying watching the other puzzles come together.

Last year I made a sketch of an idea, maybe I should post a similar one in the op for everyone to follow. It must be difficult to follow my puzzle without having a clue how it supposed to work. I spend a fair amount of time staring at those pictures myself trying to figure out what to do next.

Short bump.

Bump on the head.

Are you human?
