I received some parts from a giveaway by leroycp a few days ago and as I stated in that thread, I have made a light and dedicated it to Old Lumens.
I have used brass tubing, copper bar, hand tools and used a couple of his methods to make it, most notably the tail switch locking piece. He did seem to like my work with brass so I would hope this light might be to his liking too.

Very nice light in honor of Justin. Does it get very hot?

A very classy looking light!
Theres no doubt in my mind that OL would love this light and also leroycp with what you have used his parts in.
I reckon its a bit of all right myself.

Great work. As always its an awe watching your mods.
Great work, how do you find the time to make all these lights?
A. retired
B. college student on break
C. rich, don’t have to work
D. lazy, don’t want to work
E. complete addiction to lights, make lights when you should be sleeping
Just a joke but I don’t see where you have all the time to make these nice lights.

On high mode it does get very hot after around 3 minutes and you definitely get the feeling to kick it down a notch but on medium it’s within comfortable tolerances to hold continually here, where it’s not exactly the tropics.

I am just super efficient
I like to only work around 6-8 months of the year to make enough for lots of time off.
What is life if you’re working all the time is my philosophy. Making things is one of my meditations.

Great philosophy, I would do the same thing if I did not have to worry about health insurance, super expensive here unless you have a full time job.

Indeed, although I have only read about it, scary system to have.

At this rate of producing masterpieces you’ll have to open a museum soon, i’d totally visit that.
Old lumens would be proud of you.
great job yet again..
sorry all images down
thanks photobucket
Real hand made beauty
F. all of the above

No seriously CRX, your work gives me a tiny bit of a manic depression.
One side of me wants to make things that are as beautiful as you do,
the other side of me tells me it would be easier to build a stairway to heaven.
You are a flashaholic if you are forced to come out of the closet, to make room for more flashlights.
Stevi.,
You’ve knocked out something with so much elegance there. Very nice. Very nice indeed.
You still need to sort out a little signature logo though I reckon.
ATB,
Paul
Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work CRX, it never fails to impress. Old Lumens would be very impressed as well.

Nice tribute, efficient or not there’s a lot of work in that package.

Maybe this will help you with that

This was of course a giveaway thread for the light which was unannounced as I wanted it to go to a member who genuinely commented on it. Thanks guys
Henk4U2, let me know if you would like the light sent to you.

What a cool gesture.
Well done Henk.
I believe OL would love it even more now after a nice gesture like that

Wow, this is some surprise!
Sorry for letting you wait so long for my response, but I was really a bit depressed.
On the picture below you see the best part of the harvest of my endeavours of last week.
It did not matter if they came fresh out of the box or from another light. They all went poof.
Your announcement of having won your outrageous beautiful light sure ended this depression.
But then I needed some time to calm down.
Yes, I feel very honored to receive such an awesome light. Thank you very much for this GAW!
EDIT: the image in this post was messed up by BhotoPhucket, so I moved it to Imgur.

Thats very generous of you CRX and it could not have gone to a better home or bigger fan.
Now I can say that your as bad, sorry I mean as mad as me. If you dont know why it doesn’t matter as I do know.
