He’s wearing gloves? I just assumed he dropped his wallet or something in a port-o-potty and had to fish it out with his hand. :~
Of course, people are noticing just how many Maglites are standing in the background, in that "hand photo". Looks like he's got a good start on a run of them.
All I know is that one of them is mine. I'm THRILLED!!!
Oh damn, I didn't realize those were all cut down already :)
Don’t you mean a T8
The balanced looks resulting from the non-knurled band on the tailcap end…man!
I have access to some good machinery but I’ve never attempted cutting threads. If this was a class I’d be frantically taking down notes.
Keep up the super work C-X.
Thanks for the correction - I will update the OP.
Grumble grumble damn dyslexia.
I wouldn't normally wear gloves while machining (for safety reasons) but I was trying to keep oil/grease out of some stitches on the left hand.
No internals specced yet, but nice Firefly reference !

Are you happy with the new purchase? (The lathe).

If I had known how much fun one was, I would have picked one up years ago. Now I need to sell a few lights to fund a mill.
i bet some HUGE DEEP mag heads could fund your mill 0:)
not that i could afford one, but id be here drooling
As soon as I saw title and author I had to read this. Really nice work CX. If you milled down a section of the tube, could Justin do a woody inlay? Then you could have a side switch and eliminate the knurling altogether.
Thank you sir !
Stay tuned....
I don't think it would be a problem turning the knurled part down by the thickness of some wood veneer. I'm ready to take such an order at any time.
If anyone needs some stock Mag parts, please shoot me a PM.
Do you mean modded?
What kind of parts
Don't you mean modded?
This is a double post, and will be deleted soon. Ignore!
Ignore this post, I am experimenting with a error.
Well, modded too.
I was in this case referring to the take-off parts from the last round of cut-down mags - switches, towers, springs, etc.
I’ve wondered why it wasn’t done this way to begin with, all that splicing and fitting and glueing and pressing be danged!
Very nicely done Wayne, perfection indeed!
Thanks very much.
I would guess that more aren't done this way, because it takes 3-4 times the work !!!
which need space to put somewhere
