Steampunk monstrosity or fun burner? ...... YES :eg:
This was a crude proof of concept build just to see if I could leave the G2 adjustable and actually have now after burning the first lens, so it's just cobbled together with scrap to block lens glare and leave the top removable with 1 screw.
Now it's a test bed for the 3X expander from Podo, and the beam from my 6x corrected 44 fits in the expander's input as seen while running from inside and it shrinks the spot when zoomed to desired distance, the 3x is a win. Sorry I have no LPM reading but it lights the wood in my basement from 15 feet after I aligned it so it is an improvement.
