Clean and bright! DIY at its finest always satisfies. Nice job Java!

Thanks Sneakyp, Wait till you see my new light i am in the final stages of engineering. I been getting extremly stoned while engineering it , thinking up some crazy shit. Especially the kush, smoke me a big old bowl of it and it puts me proper design frame of mind.

What sort of mill are you using? Very nice work.

Thanks bicit , The mill is just a micro mill i got at the little machine shop. I got the old model when it went on clearance for 200 bucks. Here is a link to the newer model http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=4700&category=1387807683. old ones used to sell for around 400 they digitized the new ones and added 250 to the price.
If i ever get the extra cash i would get one of these http://www.grizzly.com/products/Drill-Mill-with-Stand/G0704 Thats about as big of one i could safely get in my basement.

Very nice, I'm bookmarking that. Seems about perfect for what I'd need it for.

Any teaser pics of what you've been working on?

Sitting here board and thought i would fuck with you all. Check out this veg my cheap 10 band ebay led put on these tomatoes in 5 gallon smart pots. Doesnt grow buds worth a shit but it can veg like crazy. Glad it is time to put the vegies outside and get this light back under my clones. Been trying out a mix this guy on another forum uses. He grows some beautiful buds so i had to try it. I really like it so far. Mix is 60% coco 20% Foxfarms Ocean Forest 20% large perlite. I PH to 6.5 with this mix.

hey java,

What are the 4 hanging hardware things called and where did you get them from? I noticed my a51 has brass ones on it and I am looking to get some.

I have been hanging my lights with 14 gauge solid core wire. Have not been able to find a cheap source for the LED light hanging kits. Not sure what else they are called. But i didnt come up with much threw my searches. I found one guy selling some but 25 bucks a set is a bit high. I was going to message a few LED light sellers on ebay and see if they could get me some at a better price. Should be able to find some for about 10 bucks i would think. It really is not high on my list right now since the wire works. When i find out more i will let you know.In the mean time If you find a good source please share.

Thanks Chronikool Mis-read that post.

Epic I made those posts from bar stock on my lathe and mill with a rotary table. So they were made from scratch.

Nicely done I run a few 3 axis cnc routers (don't own them), they're good for aluminum and plastics; no lathe though.

Chron, thanks for the link.

Thanks

Yeah cnc routers are nice. I designed one i want to build. Now if i can just stop spending cash on LEDs and Drivers I might just get it done one day.
