Here's a 14500 mod made from a 1 inch wooden dowel. More of a proof of concept I guess, it needs some refinement. It's simply a 3/4 inch hole with 3/4" end caps that I bought.
I think with a 14500 I could use a 7/8 dowel instead and the end caps would match up better on the end. Also some sanding and some stain would do wonders for the overall finish of the thing. The next one I make will be done with a tact switch and a mosfet and I'll probably find a way to add a LED to it as well.
But overall...it works and seems like another interesting way to make your own PV.
