Here are a few places to get raw materials and supplies.
Metals of all types as well as some plastics:
www.onlinemetals.com
www.metalsdepot.com
Both are great suppliers and specialize in small orders. The prices are about the same, the only difference is location. OnlineMetals is on the West Coast and MetalsDepot is in Kentucky. It will be cheaper to ship from one or the other depending on where you live.
www.machinist-materials.com
These guys have a lot of "drop offs" and other surplus. They have a good supply of plastics as well.
Electronic components:
www.digi-key.com
They have all of those special value resistors, switches and other electronic goodies.
Tools, cutters, fasteners & hardware:
https://www.jlindustrial.com/default.asp
http://www.use-enco.com/
http://www.mcmaster.com/
http://www.wmberg.com/catalog/
http://sciplus.com/
http://www.mscdirect.com/
http://www.surpluscenter.com/

I just learned how to link a previous post from the old board software to a current link.

OK....why is it everytime I try out these thread I get, "This board has moved" message?

because the board was updated recently (went from ubb classic to ubb threads), and as a result, all the pages are now under a different url.
it is basically the responsibility of everyone to change their links (especially in threads like this), but some haven't done it.
if you like, you can contact them and /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twak.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

ouch... I just noticed that all of the links here are deprecated from the board upgrade...
I'm not familiar enough with UBB to know if the topic numbers have changed, or if the reference link scheme is the only thing that has changed...
In any event, I know it is tons of work, but it would be tremendously appreciated if someone could go through this fabulous thread of wonderful knowledge, and propagate it with correct links once again.
Yours humbly,

It is on my to-do list. I'll get to it eventually, but it won't happen overnight. In the meantime, let's try to keep the thread cleanly about the mod database.
Thanks!

Orion's variable output flashlight mod.
Here are the pictures of my latest mod to add to this great group of modders and their creations. I humbly submit what I have. A reminder that this is experimental, so it's appearance isn't what I'm showing. The variation of light intensity is what this project was about.
All pics are were done in my offices darkened bathroom (sorry). On the left is an Arc LS with a used 123, so it isn't quite as bright as it could be. Also, the Arc DOES have more of a blueish tint, but not as much as the pics show. The apparent 'split screen' look is because one flashlight is shining into one stall, and the other is shining into the other, but they are both in the same shot. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Anyway, I look forward to more variable output flashlights being made!

Farewell our Curmudgeon Administrator
Orion,
Great mod! The original idea of this thread was to place a single line link to threads which showed the mods in detail as well as discussions regarding them. This would have allowed for low band width and quick access, even from dial-up. Initially, we had placed Thumbnails showing the mods but the consensus was to reduce this thread to the bare minimum with only text links. Each modder would update a single post with mod links as new mods came out.
Needless to say, with the growth of CPF and the change in software that caused all of the links to be broken, this thread has become essentially useless.
As long as this now defunct thread remains a sticky, your mod will stay at the top. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

PS. I for one now consider it a waste of time trying to make any post of "timeless" or referential nature. The pile grows too quickly and who wants to look under a pile? For current affairs, there is certainly value. For any continuity or consolidation of information, forget about it. Does this postscript belong in this post or this thread? Does it matter? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I realized this after I posted originally. I thought to myself, why am I the only one with pics, then it occured to me that this is a 'link only' thread. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Thanks for the reminder. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/poke2.gif
