Just lots of machining photos I'm afraid.

Worth waiting for! All we need are the clips to hold the front in place.

Outstanding work Phil,

As always, thanks for taking the time to show and explain your work in progress. Watching that huge lump of aluminum gradually being transformed into the searchlight has been……illuminating?

Thanks Kevin, the body is in fact a little too long right now but I'm reluctant to trim it back untill we are certain as to the thickness of the glass lens that we are going to use.
There's still away to go yet.

He blinded me with ... ... his turning skills

Thanks Oliver you make me blush lol. We have now decided on 1 mm lens glass so the main body has now been irreparably sliced.

Lovely Jubbly!

The searchlight detail starts now.

Hi Phil

That is a brilliant bit of machining on the searchlight. Top notch.

Regards
Gary

More watch making but we are getting there, we are referring to the piece as " the 1K searchlight" and that's not a reference to weight!

Such a pleasure to see the skill and craftsmanship you bring to your builds, Phil. Thank you for sharing your work, a true Masters Class on so many levels.

This level of detail is ridiculous.

After much farting around.....we have light. As I can't be bothered wrestling with the predictive text tonight use your imagination

I'm a bit lost Phil.
What's being used in the searchlight? LED or bulb?

Vince

That bulb looks the part Phil. It would be a shame to put an IR filter in front of it
