    McGizmo - 2018

    I think whatever comes next, and I'm looking forward to it, McGizmo will remain the mark of pioneering the path of efficient LEDs, high CRI, use of titanium, tritium vials and sapphire lenses ! Yes, the whole package, quite an achievement.

    Olight H2R review (Headlamp/right angle, 18650, XHP50)

    Just got myself a NW H2R for 59 euros thanks to Amazon flash sale and I must say I am blown away by the quality of the beam. It is simply perfect : smooth spread, no donut, no edge tint shift, perfect medium-wide angle (for a headlamp), and the tint is nothing short of the most neutral...

    My PM-1236 finally arrived

    Hi guys, I have broken both ends of my Dorian SIGH19-2 blade, a $80 mistake. I'm pretty sure I was doing everything right except for the squareness (0.015 out of square across the lenght of the blade, which doesn't seem much) maybe too low RPM and maybe to slow feed (it was kinda hard to...

    Ballistol in machining world anyone ?

    Actually I have tried leaving some to evaporate a few days and it reduced itself to some sort of very light gel, it did not gum up or hardened. But maybe I did not leave it long enough ? The firearm people say the copper dissolving power is actually dubious. The problem with many...

    Ballistol in machining world anyone ?

    Hi all, I've been wondering, seems like Ballistol is a well regarded all around cleaner/lube/protectant in the weapons world. Some swear only by it. I was wondering if it has it's place in the machining world. The marketing pitch Like that it sounds like the perfect toolroom general cleaner...

    Bead blasting McGizmos

    Post edit EDIT FEB 2016 : disassembly/cleaning/reassembly is not offered anymore, only taking bare parts until further notice. Reason is that my available free time has significantly shrunk (those who have a baby at home will understand :o ) and that was the most time consuming part of the...

    Bead blasting McGizmos

    Hi, thanks for the compliment. Actually I don't even know what a Nuke finish is, maybe I've been a little disconnected from the flashaholic planet for too long ? Edit : Ok I did some search and the "Nuke" finish seems to be some kind of pretty harsh stonewash finish. Sorry but I have never...

    One of a kind big bulb neo-retro incan lamp

    Not at all ! It's a decorative bulb, very inefficient at producing light actually. The filaments are visible and don't blind your vision. The first picture that shows it lit up is close to reality.

    One of a kind big bulb neo-retro incan lamp

    Hey, Here's my latest project. I wanted to blend a retro-style incan decorative bulb with a stylish modern base. Started by turning a aluminium sleeve : I turned it from 7075-T6 aluminium rod. Blasted. Re-machined the shiny rings. Moved onto the wooden base. Used a router pretty much...
