My new 10 watts HID Homemade

keith,

Credit for the metalwork must go to my dive buddy 'Matt' he's in engineering
and made these up at a friends workshop. Small lathes are ok but you would
need a larger compound slide to achieve he angle on the head than say a
Myford can achieve. You could do it in 2 cuts but you risk a step in the
angle.

As for the welding he tapped up another mate for this, and he did a very
good job.

As we found when we were developing it there are a lot of friends & frends
of friends who were willing to help.
