SH-g lanyard-n-grip ring for Surefire and clones

[dsche]

tobrien, it's first time I'm working with Titanium so I've try deferent methods and still trying

Hydro-abrasive produce smooth edges but pure accuracy with small holes. Argon plasm better in shapes but 'obloy' (burrs) large and extremely hard

All rings filed, sanded and polished (all surfaces exclude inner and clasp holes) but due material hardness there are some roughness (more noticeable than stainless ones) remains

I've receiving requests for another shapes regularly (and last one this night) so it's look like some explanation needed

Well, long time ago I've start to collect some strange lanyard rings like Burman one

or Solarforce Triangle

or Xeno Farka one

And always I've wanna create some 'same same but different'

Wild looking but usable (because Triangle NOT usable if you are not a tripod-alien)

Then after long research (it's not a joke: first sketches more than 2 years old), after some experiments (not all was successful of course) I've found one acceptable shape

And I enjoyed your guys confirm it's really must be used ) thank you

Once I'll create some new shapes, but it's long way and I won't (and can't) just copy some existed shapes.

The tripod one would be useful to me as I do a lot of camping and I commonly hang lights by the lanyards with a diffuser or in candle mode for overhead area lighting. A single lanyard point makes the light hang on an angle. A multiple attachment would allow me to make a 2 or three point lanyard to hang the light straight.

lightcycle1, it's interesting point, may you show us some pics?

I've make something like this usually

 

[lightcycle1]

No pics of a good totally vertical hang setup because I dont have a good solution. A two or three point lanyard attachment holes would allow me to male a vertical hanging lanyard. It would allow the dangle point to be centered on the flashlight body diameter. Thats why I would want a lanyard attachment ring with two or three symmetrically placed holes.

two or three symmetrically placed holes.

Well, it's not ideal but near

 

[lightcycle1]

That' ll work. Are these available for order amd how much are they? I'm currenntly on a CPFM ban but that should ne lifted tomorrow. I got a little too aggressive in Wallbuys critisism.

$16 for one stainless or $18 for titanium (both from 2mm sheet), + $7 shipping (any quantity) + $2 color anodizing (if needed, once per order (any quantity), titanium only)

lightcycle1, :wave: I'm from Russia. International "small packet" cost about $5.75 for this kind of stuff, plus insurance. Of course I may send it as simple letter, without custom declaration etc, but it cost about $4 (not big deal) and may be rejected if goods find out

It is a nice design and very unique. Works really well with small lights like 3P and MD1.

Thats perfectly reasonable then.

Nice effect, is that done on a stainless one?

 

[dsche]

Yes, it's stainless (shine and flat primordial)

I've use permanent marker and ferric chloride for primary relief, then polishing and second marker-and-ferrochloride for smaller nicety, then heating, polishing again and third bath with 'cream of tartar', citric acid and root killer for imitation of common carbon steel color

As result I receive some looking like 'wild' Damascus or Bulat steel

Of course it's imitation (and not a best one) but it's looking fresh and even cool maybe )

ta-ra-ru-ra-ra and I want it painted black )
