The next big thing

The 'Raptor' is gone...Time to work on the heavy bomber

What can say, I have a few McR45 reflectors, and some XWOS Lux V's to use up...This one is going to be big and bold...

Not much to look at right now, but at least I have cleared the first hurdle.

The Ti body will be next






For scale


The light is functional, but still in mill finish...I still have to make the switch housing, and it will be a much larger piece...The 'faucet knob' switch housing is only attached, so I can play with the light

Possibilities are infinite, with this big light....

:thinking:



Damn :twothumbs



You got Balls thats for sure!!



I like it.
Bring on the finished pics.

Hope John doesn't have a heart attack when he sees this. :green:

Man, Raptor, who's your daddy?! :laughing:

I can't wait to start carving the outside!:sweat:

Must exercise patients

totally off topic but i see all these TB lights - whats the deal with them?

TB - id like to know you - but there is very little on cpf about how your lights come about - they all seam to be titanium and there all perfectly machined some blasted and anodised - do you do all this yourself?

just seams strange that your not in the custom builders section

do you ever sell these lights?
do you ever make one offs for people?

sorry for all the questions

i just love your stuff

Whoa Nellie!! That's a big-un fer shure!!!

They appear to be made by magical little elves. :shrug:
Your only chance is to be a very good flashaholic all year, and then just maybe a Ti bezel ring may appear under the tree. When its been deemed you are worthy, perhaps one day a whole light may be wrapped up and waiting...

sorta funny - but at the same time this is the whole reason i cant find solid info on this elf - your words

all the threads seam to be a bit mysterious like you have to be a member of some club to get in on it!

as im a very lowly flashaholic (but only because i have a plan)
then i doubt ill ever be in this club!

:thumbsup:

can't waiot see that big chuck finished

:wave: eMack! Where the heck has that JOHN guy been? :nana: :shakehead

:rock: YIKES! :bow: I spend all day goofin' around at work, and I never see this until NOW? If I haven't lost it already, my mind is startin' to SLIP! :duh2: I usually have a nose for the latest in TB Sweetness! :shrug:

Scott, I'm not sure where we're at in my monthly payments to you... :laughing:

What's under the hood of that puppy? This light needs somethin' special!

Time to get my head back in the clouds!
