Re: He da maaan
Well, your post got me off my duff--I wasn't really happy with the finish on the Ti exposed islands, so I worked on smoothing them out today. Not an easy task, since I wanted to keep the corners as square as possible. I might add, that even though this looks like nothing but sharp edges that will cut into your hand, the truth is that with all the sanding that I did, both before anodizing and after, the light feels remarkably smooth.
So here are some more photos of the now completed light; it has a mini FLuPIC driver with three levels of ouput, plus memory, a modified aluminum XP-G reflector, a 2mm thick mineral glass lens, O-rings and an AW RCR123 battery.
And while I'm still conflicted as to whether to keep this light, or sell it, I've decided to postpone that decision for some time.
I'm normally not inclined to keep lights that I make--after all, the point of making them is to get them out to the flashaholics of the world, but, hey, I'm a flashaholic, too. :devil:
Any updates on this beauty, Fred?
