If there was a prize for the person who farted around the most before getting started on this project it’d be to me for sure. That said, hopefully if I get up early enough tomorrow, don’t take any phone calls, and steer clear of the internet, I will be able to turn this hunk of brass into a flashlight in time.
First the pill.
Now the bezel.
Some body work.
Body and tail are one piece, bored straight through the center for a 14500.
A piece of copper with a button on the inside is pressed into the tail for battery neg contact.
Now that the machining is done its time for the light engine.
I should have the full body shots, and beam pictures ready to go on Monday.
EDIT: 10/31
This is the best I could do for beam shots since its not dark here LOL!
