I am human, so I am bound to make mistakes, so yes, I group things that are "alike" which helps prevent errors.

If I can help it, I am never working on a "D" then a "C" and back to a "D". Once I am done with the "D"'s, I will be working on the "C" hosts 😉

By the way, I am trying to keep post #1 updated. If you see mistakes, or have paid and it is not noted, or some option/work is missing, please do let me know 😉

Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - order placed!

nailbender, more progress tonight. Your Pewter (Dark Grey) is done!

Here I an boring the inside:

By now, it is bored and threaded, and just finished with the body grooving:
dscf4712.jpg



Here I am finning the head with spacing fairly proportional to the grooves in the body, but these grooves are not rounded as you requested:
dscf4713.jpg



and then I touched the edges with a file to softly round the sharp edges (the tool I used cuts at a sharp 90deg):

Finished host:

I am sure they will be another wave. However after this wave I have pending several projects, including a few of the Barbo Bomb Proof Hosts, and a few custom jobs that forum members have asked me to work on for them, so the expectation should be that I will not start the next wave right away. That being said, this thread is useful for tracking interest on the 1xD's, so it is great to hear what folks would like to have for the next wave.

In the meantime, if there are folks who want something sooner, please contact Brian (Mirage_Man) as he is an excellent machinist and might have time for new projects 😉

Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - order placed!

Start by having a pic of the intended "target". And I say target since I have no idea of what tool(s) was used to create this one, so I am going to approximate as much as I can and use my own judgement as to what would look "right".

OK, here it goes. Start with a cut black Mag "D" tube...
dscf4725.jpg



Cut the area to be threaded:
dscf4728.jpg



Thread (sound simple, right?):
dscf4729.jpg



I used a spare black tube to experiment with the cutting bit, the depth, spacing, etc., until I found something that looked good and similar to the picture/target:
dscf4730.jpg



Here I get ready to cut grooves on the actual 1xD:
dscf4731.jpg



here I am done with the first part of the grooving:
dscf4732.jpg



I then have to turn the tube around, re-tape, re-align with a prior cut, and start cutting again:
dscf4734.jpg



Here I am done with the whole body:
dscf4735.jpg


dscf4736.jpg



Now getting ready to do the head:
dscf4737.jpg


dscf4738.jpg



file the sharp edges:
dscf4739.jpg



and the complete "special" 1xD black host is ready:
dscf4740.jpg


dscf4741.jpg

nailbender - I should be able to finish the 18650 holder tomorrow, which would then complete your order 😉

I like Brian's as well. I used a rounded-tip cutting tool, so each body end up with a slightly different look. In the end, you are the customer, so if you are happy, I am happy 😀
