Just road testing a new idea

[markm]

What do you think?

A brief explanation of what is going through your mind would probably help us give an answer to your question methinks

[robby]

Looks great, stick a pint mug type handle on the side and it`s a goer lol

It's a similar idea to what SvoeMesto call the Sticker

I was really just looking for other people's first impressions.
If that picture wasn't enough, then perhaps a little explanation.
It is a Vamo that's been due chromed, so showing its copper, then chopped in half and the battery tube moved sideways and brazed back on.
.
Another pic perhaps.

I like it! there are a couple of different versions of the basic tube about I have noticed, one seems to have a softer brass? if that is possible. I did this one a couple of weeks ago. Cat wasn`t impressed though 


I "went through" the copper plate on the top bit, it seemed to be a lot thinner at the back of the tube, so took all the copper off and went with that.

I've only stripped one so far and that was bright chrome, I do have a black one that has
A different inside to the battery cap, I wonder if that was part of the V1/2 changes.


It's interesting to see how simply they are assembled when you get them apart, just keep an
Eye on the small buttons, they have a mind of their own.

I'm also interested to see how they tarnish as copper, if its being handled all the
time, develops a lovely patina quite quickly.

Hmm how about a top bridge section to give it a better look ( and strength )

I don't like it personally, I can see it being a bit of a handful. I like your other work but not this I'm afraid. I know some would like it though just like robby does but he's different too just like this mod lol

I was going to fit a top brace, but after the struggle I had trying to rectify a slight twist when I brazed on the llower fittings I decided it was strong enough without. But the next few days will tell me if that was a mistake.

Horses for courses I guess, but compared to the face shield ladies it's tiny. Especially when in 18350 mode.
TBH I'm still learning how to use it, just like any other bit of kit I've collected recently.
one thing I have found is it is so much more stable on a flat surface, tempted to add a second battery tube,
and make it into a stool!

Mods can we have a "Pimp My Vamo" sticky ?
