I would actually ask the person before sticking their name on the list. I was referred to Tom E a couple of months ago when I was asking for someone to mod a M2X Javelot and didn’t get a response from him for about 15 days and said he was too busy.
That is what I already wrote in my post above, it would be good to refer to that in the OP too (and other remarks, like about Cereal_killer who has not been seen for a while)
Oooh yep maybe I should. Will update when I’m not so busy
Pigeonholed?
Pigeonholed: assign to a particular category or class, especially in a manner that is too rigid or exclusive.
“a tendency to pigeonhole him as a photographer and neglect his work in sculpture and painting”
synonyms:categorize, compartmentalize,classify, characterize, label, brand,tag, typecast, ghettoize, designate
“they were pigeonholed as an indie guitar band”
I was Pigeonholed by a Pigeon one time. He was a mean one!
Since I am presently unemployed, I would consider doing custom work, from simple component changes, to whole lights. BUT, I have to clarify that statement. I will "consider". I may not be interested or I may not feel it would be in the best interest of both parties. I do "Hand work", so the only power tools are the ones that I can hold in my hands, except for a drill press. That is fine for some people, but for others, they would rather have precision machine work done, so I would discuss each build on it's own merits and what the owner felt he/she expected. Don't compartmentalize me, however, because my old bones can't take sitting in those cramped compartments.
Vinh makes some awesome mods with various improvements on some popular lights to drive them harder.
They’re often referenced here on BLF and sometimes up for sale. I don’t know if he’s a member here though.
Vinh is usually only seen over on that ‘other’ forum…
Worth a mention though as he always does very good work.
All the best and keep shining,
Hirshy
I see 
I will place your name up under ‘depending on interest and consideration’ 
Never seen him here. 
Did try a search for him here but all I got was WTS threads hahaha
I have to say his prices are quite steep!
Yeah I know his username but am looking just for members here
Since everyone is doing it, I guess you can throw me on the list.
My expertise is somewhere between MikeC and OL
Will do pilot! 
I hope Cereal Killer comes back soon. I wanted one of his color drivers.
I have built a couple completely customs lights and modded many, but not much as “requests” Though i’m currently doing one Gas Lantern Conversion to LiIon/LED for a member from the “other” forum, and one lantern mod/conversion for a member on the ColemanColectorsForums.
I will have to give a special plug for Richard at Mountain Electronics. I have seen his work, and even though I do a lot of the stuff he does, his work is like art. There is no other way to put it. The guy is just a detail fanatic, I love it!! His soldering skills still just blow my mind. I don't know how he does it. I opened up a level II modded M6 from his shop and was just floored by the quality. Incredibly fantastic. I guarantee you he folds his socks individually before he puts them in his dresser.
If you’re interested in Vinh lights he has his own subforum on the other forum.
You might include a link to OL’s BLF Modding Links Thread
so those interested can see examples of work done.
Oooh I saw that thread before… I guess I forgot totally about it
Hello guys, its been almost 3 years and I think we should update this. Members come and go but our community still stays. I’m hoping this would help others get in touch with members who could help them out
