CRX Magnetic Brass Art - 2016 4th BLF Scratch Made Light Contest Winner

Good luck, I have no idea what to do this year… No different from the last few times really…

Thats the spirit FMC.

Gatling flashlight style each sourced with fet driver and one 18650 cell?

We’ll see :slight_smile:

Hmmm, sounding interesting already.

:smiley: Brass makes me smile.

Definitely a winner here! This is going to blow some socks off!! :beer:

Looks very interesting and possibly very tiny. Thanks for being in the contest this year.

Just WOW. That is the hottest light I’ve seen here for awhile. Its smokin. :+1:

I just sat here for 5 mins with my mouth open….

10 hours? - can I borrow a little of your spare time please?

:beer:

Oh my, I wish there was a gofundmyimagination site where others could borrow some of that stuff.

Brass is good. Great pictures too.

Need some sort of -fire name for it.

Thanks OL

I thought it was here… :slight_smile:

Certainly Not! :laughing:

It’s worth the time it takes for the pictures to load. A few words of text with the pics would help figure out which end we’re looking at. Fun puzzle figuring it out. This one reminds me of when I could still see small. Congratulations!

You’re too kind, thanks.

Added brief descriptive text to images.

I can see we have another Brass Master in our midst! Seriously, CRX, your build is indescribably awesome already, and you still have parts three and four to go! :open_mouth:

My favorite entry so far. Do you intend to polish the surface?

Thanks, yeah there’s still final tweaks, sanding and polishing to be done, i might even make them all black - just kidding! :laughing:

I was thinking of giving the acrylic window of the lantern a sanded/ brushed finish for a more diffuse light output - opinions welcome on that.

Oh, I feel so outclassed and you’re only half way. Awesome work CRX.

For the diffusion try a bit of tape first to see if you like it. Maybe have some funky design on the tape (inside the tube)…? Just a suggestion.

Good idea, thanks pink.

Or cut a negative, stick it on, spray paint, then remove the negative. Sort of like OL’s flame Mag.
