tlslights update

Hey guys, I have accepted a new job and will be relocating to the city of Conroe, TX about 3 hours away. I will be changing the business a bit. Due to my move I have decided to sell the 2500lb mill and 1800lb lathe so I do not have to move them. So I will only be selling parts as I will not be able to modify stuff for at least a while.

Thanks to everyone that has bought stuff from me in the past. Like I said, I will still continue to support the DIY guys with parts and canisters, but I can no longer manufacture complete systems. I am selling off what I have laying around, so if you need something, let me know. I have some heads, etc laying around that I can easily complete or are in partial completion.

Hector, your parts are a great asset to the community. I think you'll just have to get a new lathe once you're settled in...

Re: tlslights.com update

Thanks! I will definitely keep the parts side going. It's the machining side that will be down a while. Plan is to eventually have a shop again. Just don't know when that will be.

I'll definitely be around!

Hector,

Couldn't you just put them in storage for a few months until you decide what to do?

Will

Re: tlslights.com update

Yeah, except that was one of those "wife deals" I had to make in order to convince her to move. Also, here I have a 4-car garage which I am sure I will not have there!

Re: tlslights.com update

Couldnt you put the wife in storage instead and take you machines with you?
Its all about priorities Hector!

Re: tlslights.com update

She doesn't have to know that they didn't get sold. Storage can be expensive, especially for such large items, maybe there is a flashaholic nearby who could take care of them

Re: tlslights.com update

Haha, all good points....Some of the issues are space related as well. I ended up selling them for what I had in them so I didn't do too bad. Sold them to a guy that has a personal shop and does work on the side. He had a Bobcat to unload them so moving them was not a real headache.

Re: tlslights.com update

Looks like TLS may be acquiring a lathe this weekend! Found a brand new 11x for a good price...

Re: tlslights.com update

That is great news Hector

Re: tlslights.com update

I will update as I go. Took a bunch last night. Tearing her down for a cleaning and some paint. She's going to look as good as new when I'm done!

Re: tlslights.com update

For those of you looking for a bigger canister alternative to the 2" ID (OMS clone), I am getting some 3" ID ones done. They should be ready within 2 weeks. Same design as the 2" but bigger. Great for big video light set ups requiring large battery packs.

Re: tlslights.com update

would 3 serie of 18650 would enter in a row ? from memory, something only 2cm longer would fit ?
also the black lid as you made were nice !

The total length will be around 9". You'll be able to fit around 20 18650 in them...
