Shadow JM30 (MT-G2) mod – copper edition (very picture heavy)

:o

Excellent mod, really nice looking with that copper showing.

I’m completely amazed by the ingenuity of this mod, the thoroughness and quality of everything you did and made with limited mostly hand tools, and the sheer amount of work that you have put into this! You made an extremely well done and great looking flashlight and thanks for writing it all down with so many great pictures!!

Amazing skills. Amazing mod. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work Cula and all that copper, Wow

wow, amazing mod!
and what a beautiful result!

Jeeze. What a meticulously crafted light. Absolutely amazing, and beyond anything I have the patience for.

Agreed. I would not have even thought of doing what he did. I have not seen a nicer custom light ever. And I’ve seen some rippers.

I don’t think I’ve seen that much copper work put into a single flashlight before. Simply incredible.

Bravo…. Can you make me one? :slight_smile:

Beautiful copper work!

Just Wow… Amazing skills

Tremendous ammount of handywork! Bravo

Thanks guys for your comments. It wasn’t easy but it turned out nice. I have few tweaks to do to make it perfect but nothing really serious.

What a beauty! Lots of hard work! Congratulations!

Nothing fancy Mike C, just a lot of patience and work. Wet sanding paper up to 2000 and then plain polishing paste and buffer mounted on the drill or a dremel. I use polishing kit like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/34Pcs-1-8-Soft-Felt-Polishing-Buffing-Burr-Wheel-Kit-For-Dremel-Rotary-Tools-/321997460967?hash=item4af88b55e7:g:oBMAAOSwL7VWsbpG
After polishing, copper is thoroughly cleaned with alcohol and I don’t touch it with bare hands anymore. I work in gloves because it prolongs the oxidation of the copper. These are just my observations which came from experience.

Yes, it is the original reflector. I’m not completely satisfied with focus at this moment. I think I pushed MT-G2 a bit far into the reflector and I need to lower it down. Maybe you guys can help me with this when you see a beam shot. I’ll point to what is bothering me and maybe you can suggest what to do. It is not that serious, just a small dim around the hot spot. It is not easy to explain so I’ll upload the photo later.

One of the most ingenious and well made lights I have ever seen!

Well done!

I agree with what everyone else has said. This would have to be one of the most amazing modded lights I’ve read about. Very very creative and perfectly executed. Even the pictures were beautifully done. Thanks for sharing and keep up the orsm work.

Can`t agree more with you guys above

That is a decadent amount of copper.

Stunning.
