You have the technology. You can..... Erm, Build one! :dremel: :lol:
Shouldn't take you long, LEDs from e-blag, Chinese ones for a few pence each, super/ultra bright anything should do.... Just choose a colour!
A brass bar (hex or round), a bit of nylon, a piece of plastic packaging, 2 'O' rings and 2 batteries..... Shouldn't be too hard to find should they? :scratch:
Of course pictures of any made would be mandatory! :)
One for the roundtuit list? :dremel:

Hi Ralph
The outcome of another senior moment :scratch: was the purchase in error of a length of 7/16th hex to make another batch of your famous mini-torches (should have been 9/16th !). Undeterred I reduced the thread size from M12 to M10 and found that AG3 battery cells were a perfect fit :thumbup:
Original in the centre flanked either side by the new mini-mini versions
mmmmmm, wonder if I can go down to M8 ? :scratch:

Nice work John Proper bit of modding :nrocks:
Have you managed to keep one for yourself?
I never quite got around to miniaturising my miniatures :dremel: I'm going to have to have a go now aren't I?
M8 thread.... Good luck! AG1's maybe? I haven't taken any measurements, that's just the smallest cell I know off the top of my head.
Thank you for the pic's too :thumbup:
Ralph.

Can't seem to shake off a serious bout of brass torchtitus which has got so bad I've even started making them in plastic - is there no known cure ? That Ralph chap sure has a lot to answer for.
Anyway this is the result of recent workshop activity
There's a bit more info at http://start-model-engineering.co.uk/2010/05/12/opus-proximum/torch-variation/
Has anyone else had a go at making these little torches ? Surely someone must have been tempted.

John,
I've got Ralph's plans and am a bit ashamed that I haven't made one yet. Ralph did a nice job getting the info together and then sending me the plans.
You know the saying, some day. :ddb: :nrocks:
BTW, nice looking torch. That balck and brass look nice.
Bernd
