That is one PRETTY flashlite. What is the body made of ? Is it wood or metal anodized ? It's really, really pretty.............. (the knives are neat too but the brown flashlight is :cool:)

Thanks for sharing :) you know if you fellows don't stop showing me these things you might turn me into a flashaholic or something :crackup:

Cheers, Carol
That is wood. One of our members make them. Your choice of metal color and wood. His handle is Will.
He turns down the metal on a lathe, glues on a hunk of wood and then turns down tthe wood until it's even with the metal. My wife and I have a matching pair. He does mostly Mags, Mini and Solitaire.

BTW, my number is correct.

Thankyou for your response :) Will certainly makes beautiful flashlights.
I'm kinda partial to wood - guess that's a surprise seeing as we work with it all the time :whistle: But it certainly is beautiful.

CHeers, Carol.

Ooo, Our knives were vacuum furnace heat treated and individually checked for Rockwell hardness. The latter test measures the penetration of a diamond point under a defined load. ;)

My number is fine.

My number is correct. :thumbsup:

Carol, if the laces are twice as long as we initially thought... can you please only send me half as many! (i.e. 3) I don't need 36' of leather laces!

Thanks for showing us the heat treating process. I love seeing diferent industrial processes at work.

Already reduced the amount, actually think I mentioned in somewhere :):) didn't think you'd need quite that much...............

Glad you're enjoying the photos. We have a program over here called
"How It's Made" it's one of my favourites. Learning new things all the time helps keep us young :thumbsup:

Cheers, Carol

Hi George & Carol,

# 18 is correct for me. I'd like to also add some leather strips to my order.

Happy Easter,

Marc
