First and foremost i would like to thank the people of this forum for putting out such great information and insperation.
I haven't even really had to ask many questions because most every thing has already been adressed in one place or another.
 





This place rocks!

i know not everyone has access to the kinds of material and tools i get to use at work, but i do and i abuse the hell out of it! ;D
 
well i only got one more anyhow, so why not. the tube and fittings i used are all 316l stainless steel. 5/8 schedule 10 pipe , and some compression fittings. every thing was done by hand save some drilling and rotery fileing. took me 2 days at work for the metal work.
 
It's 10 posts for posting links I think...Anyway, go ahead, make the last one :D

this is where i am now. the housing is done save adding the diode and axiz mod. the brown wire is pos from the ddl driver and the case is neg. there is a weld near the lip filed smooth @1 1/2 inch mark. everything has also been bead blasted.

this is the driver (thanks to ddl and lpf!).
i was suprised how small i got it to come out!
white- pos in
brown- pos out
black- neg made to be like a tap instead of having an in/out
 
wow that is incredible haha. you did a very good job on all of that! my blu-ray using daedal's circuit is just pretty much taped to a piece of wood!

what diode are you planning on putting in it?

i found a syringe that fit nice and tight in the barrel and made the driver into a slug thats the pos term for the battery.
i used some salvaged copper foil soldered to the +/- for the terminals. i drilled a hole in the syringe for the - to contact the barrel when inserted and the same for the battery+ contact.

this is the end cap switch. surface mount toggle from rs. the pcb was cut into a circle to fit the cavity in the cap. more copper foil used to connect the - with the barrel via the switch mounting hole in the endcap. the spring was hijacked from a flashlight and soldered to the pcb. also,a piece of rubber sheet was cut and put over the solder connections to prevent it from shorting out when the spring compresses. yes i know i couldve used a push button, but i like toggles.

switch in the endcap w/out rubber.

the cap was made from two pieces i filed, drilled, milled, and welded together. the smaller end was added to protect the toggle switch. you can also see the board i cut the circle from. ilove my dremel!
