Nice work Juergen !

I love the antique look the the copper gives it .

What exactly is it about Germany that makes people produce such incredible things?
Is it something in the water?
This mod is just about 50 shades of AWESOMENESS!
Thanks for showing us yet another brilliant piece of German engineering!

Juergen, What Artistry..I would have to say, very unique. I'd love to see a futuristic mod next...

 

[derJuF]

thanks for the compliments
@ Jimi D.: ...just on the workbench
edit: @P1NkY : ..perhaps something is going right with the german beer?

I love it, it has such a classic design. You did a wonderful job on it.

 

[jhonutz]

nice tube.great work..Respect for your work.

This is simple and elegant, your attention to detail is impeccable. The lines and choice of materials are very nice. I saw this this morning and hoped you would take this farther even. Later out and about I see that you did just that indeed.

The switch and button contour are my distinct favorite here.

derJuf, your photo essay has given me about 40 "ah-ha" moments, thank you...It's going to take me a while to sort out how your switch works so I can shamelessly "try" and copy it...I also love how you did the bottom...it never occurred to me to do the "dual pin rotate to lock" thing internal the tube... genius.

Looks awsome. Given me a few ideas

BTW - Is it ok to deface legal tender ?

 

[Quigsworth]

so awesome, i want one!

At the very least derJuf should post complete scaled shop drawings and material lists...in fact, I think if him and asdaq are going to continue to post these works of functional art it should be mandatory

 

[Quigsworth]

if someone needs: here is the drawing i made from the switch:

Wow, please disregard my "tongue and cheek" request for shop drawings

 

[derJuF]

Is it ok to deface legal tender ?

[derJuF]

Wow, please disregard my "tongue and cheek" request for shop drawings

Why?
i still made pics from the most things i have on my workbench...
Here are the parts from the atomizer i have buid for it:





I had made a step - by step Instruction in the german forum with pics of all steps...

Disclaimer, I'm in no way qualified to critique but I did have a thought...

On my brass tube mod which has a sliding mech switch I kinda got into it with WillyB a bit over the "questionable" operation of hard contacts...in hindsight, I have to agree with him...If you smoothed off the threads below the nylon stop nut then put a small spring between the nylon stop nut and the disc that makes your connection (allowing the contact disc to travel on the post) then thread a very small screw/washer where your black centering piece is as a stop...just a thought...

 

[derJuF]

Quigsworth: of course everybody is qualified to critic!

I agree 100% with you ( and WillyB)!
In my current Switch is a curved peace of a stainless spring instead of the black centering peace ... Your idea is better
