Where’d you get the parts for the tailcap and body tube? Or did you make those threads by hand? :smiley:

3

It has a filed down aluminium SIIR at the core :wink:

4

very nice (as always...)

you thread title shocked me a bit!

5

That is a thing of beauty! :person_with_crown:

6

Yeah, how about latest build.

:smiling_imp:

Oh, and in 2019 I’d like to put a request in, I mean toss an idea your way lol……. Star Wars Lightsaber inspired light, with quad leds/optics and lots of glowing bits / polished ally/chrome ! IF I win the lottery I’m sure I’d buy it off you… if not you can just make me drool for kicks!

9

Working on one now but having trouble locating some kaiburr :smiley:

10

Beautiful!! Can I have it? If not, can you share more info on the “GITD tail and bezel detail”? For the life of me, I cannot figure out how you seem to spit these out like some sort of factory assembly line.

11

How about putting a laser inside or a really bright coloured led? like, in a glass tube so it shines through, but not out the end. Maybe a cell, then a space (with laser shining through lengthways) then another cell, then leds etc? :sunglasses:
Must stop…….

12

Thanks.
No! But the Creator luvs a tryer :laughing:
GITD powder & UV setting glue in the cut outs.
Lifes sacrifices enables me :wink:

TK might know more about these things at the moment :wink:

Thanks :+1:
They’re all just hand made prototypes, maybe I’ll up my game one day… :wink:

13

Awesome build CRX!

Happy New Year to All! :smiley: :beer: :+1:

14

I didn’t fall for the title cause I know it’s just not possible for ya.

Happy New Year!

15

CRX’s fountain of youth torches closes for another year. But not to worry, will be opening again in 2019 !

Happy new year CRX :partying_face:

Very nice. I was momentarily shocked, confused, when I read the subject, but then I figured oh yeah, right… last of the year. :beer:

Still about 4 and a half hours left in 2018 here. No ’light projects at hand here right now. We’re in the middle of renovating the laundry/utility room for our New Year’s end and beginning celebration. Stopped for the night now and opened a Grolsch. Next, we’ll choose between a German Weihenstephan Hefe Weissbier and a Guinness before midnight strikes. The La Trappe Dubbel XX will put me to bed I’m sure.

18

I’m sure you had pleasant dreams :innocent:
And when you wake up: a happy new :beer:

I might be crossing a line (if so: forgive me) but it looks a bit like one of those questions like:
look carefully, which one does not belong here. Hint: for me a beer should be refreshing, in every aspect.

19

Ah yes. Something of a mismatch in there. Last night was, for me, something of a dirge, a lament, as well as a celebration for a new year. I have developed a creeping higher blood pressure. Dietary changes and more exercise has helped. I also have an aversion to taking pharmaceuticals if there is any way to avoid them. Alcohol does raise blood pressure. So, I am embarking on a three month period of teetotalling, zero alcohol consumption. Last night was a cleansing of the beer refrigerator. It now sits empty. Unplugged. After three months of abstinence if my BP is satisfactory then I plan to see how it goes if I have a beer or two once a week.

wow, another great build. You are the master of creativity and craftsmanship.
