Ti Triple L -- a little, long light

[taewoopa]

I do plan to make another one, but I'll change the colors, so each will remain a one-of-a-kind. :devil:

Then , Can I reserve another one for me ??:candle:

And, I've never heard of 14680 batteries..

Please give me a link to buy them ..

Geez Fred, could you at least try to mess up from time to time? All this perfection gets old after a while.

He did try to mess up with the lathe, but couldn't help himself and just had to fix it!

AW sells them. They are actually 14670, i.e. AA diameter but as long as 18650. 1100mAh.

@ Fred - this light is another real beauty from you - great work!

I stand corrected on the battery--it just measures 68mm. :devil: It is, in fact, an AW14670 battery--thanks DM51.

J.J.: Yes, you can have the next one.

fyrstormer: There are always mistakes made--but at least for this light, it was very well hidden--on the inside near the McClicky switch--I had a little chatter going on when I was cutting the O-ring groove.

I think a mistake to Fred is a "holy cow, that came out perfectly" for the rest of the world. :laughing:

[cheesy]Fred, the Triple L is Triple Awesome![/cheesy]

I love the WIP pics of the anodizing - I've always wondered what that process looked like. It's great how it goes from messy to BEAUTIFUL.

Reminds me of a line from Star Trek 4: "Spock, I think the captain means he trusts your educated guess more than most people's certain fact."
