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. i know what its like to have reserved “tantrum” moments.
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?
He’s a Duck! For crying out loud!
Nice Scott, patience is certainly a worth virtue to have and you do it justice with your builds. I’m ok with patience, it’s the creativity part that mystifies me…
