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.




 

John-Som:
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.

Bernd:
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
