D Maglite Shorty 32650 Tail switch

Basically trying to replicate this.!

I’ve now got everything on order.

The 2d patient arrived today. Friday is going to be a fun day. :slight_smile:

It’s beat all to heck (got it for cheap), so I’m going to sand it down bare, chop the switch in the battery tube off and probably most of the knurling. I need to do some measurements. I’ll be trying my best to implement OL’s human-lathe technique.

I might just use this one for experience/experimentation; seems like quite a bit of work to put into a really rough, beat up maglite.

Started Filing/sanding today… I underestimated how rough this really was. Rotary tool tommorow.

don’t waste your time with cheap go for the judco in my opinion.
