Hello
this is my second modified light i like to make it possible from unwanted parts, there is no much talk here pics will tell the story.
The old flash light beside a 18650 Samsung.
A 18650 cell wouldn’t fit so we need to extend the host
i want some aluminum par best place JUNK parts an aluminum processor heatsink
Pressed down with a hydraulic pressure
The aluminum piece extracted
Machined
Well i machined it to be 3 X 1 the extended tube, the LED\Driver Pill , Heatsink and later i will Drill two holes for the driver wires
Assembled
It feels nice in the hands
I Hope you like it and i wish i have explained everything
Wow..nice...too bad that big ole hunk of aluminum couldn't be used as a pill to absorb all the LED heat
Still very very nice!

Good work! I’ve seen that style of heatsink with friction fit copper cores. I didn’t realize that the all aluminum ones were still two parts. Thanks for posting this, please post updates as you complete it!

Still looking good. Don’t forget to go easy on the switch - if you put a high current driver in that flashlight I think it’s likely you will kill the switch.

I used a Cree XM-L U3-1C 6000-6500K and a 8* AMC7135 Nanjg 105c with 10 degree lens from Intl-outdoor
and It’s alive !

Nice work!
This is an example of why I would LOVE to have a lathe (and actually know how to use it).
