Pretty quiet around here, so time for some more photos. As some might recall, I've been working on a Ti AA light for ManBearPig and I have posted the trials and tribulation in another thread.
Many, myself included, like the linear dots pattern on that light, so I wanted to make a larger light, one that worked on CR123s, has a Seoul P4, most likely a NG750 driver, Khatod 20mm reflector, and a McClicky switch.
But I didn't want the clean lines of the battery tube to be interupted with any seams, so the McClicky will be screwed in from the top of the light, thus eliminating one seam. Yeah, it will be a bit of a job to just replace the battery, but that's life.
This time, there were no screw-ups with any extra dots added, quite an accomplishment (well for me anyway :lolsign
since there were a total of 156 dots milled into the body:
Geez, she seems to like the bigger guy, too.
Showing the groove at the far left where the body will eventually be parted:
Eventually I want to make this in Ti or SS, but it looks as though I need to find some smoother ball end mills. These grooves aren't that visible normally, but up close they certainly show up:
And just for size comparison:
And now the fun part begins; still needs to be drilled out--three different bores will then be done, and two sets of internal threads to be cut, and finally, a bezel needs to be made also. Hmm, may be a while before this is done.
