Never heard of your channel before now, and man am I glad UA-cam decided to recommend you! I'm always happy to see reproduction projects like this get traction, and I hope you're able to make great success out of this endeavor. This is really neat.
wow, Sarge, that is really nice and well built, right down to the dovetail joints holding the sides together. I couldn't afford it but it will certainly make a great addition to anyone's kit. you guys did a great job on that. Dwayne
Greetings from the off grid cabin in Ohio. Glad your well. I've worked with James Bender many times before. Would like to get involved in 2o and 3os style camping, some day, would be a great time Stay safe, see you down the trail.
Thanks for watching! You should join Bannerman's Camp on Facebook, there's a number of Classic Camping groups popping up across the country and the networking is done there. If you're not subscribed already, you should take a look at Shawn Dyer's Honorable Outfitters UA-cam channel. He's in Ohio and you guys might could get something going.
Beautiful light. I love the dovetail woodwork. Is Jake an amateur radio operator? I used a WW2 J-38 straight key (like the one in your cover photo) during Straight Key Night on New Years Eve. Thanks Sarge! AA0QZ.
Hi Scott, Yes I am a amateur radio operator. KK5HY That key is part of a prop WWII spy transmitter I'm using for an upcoming video we're shooting for my youtube channel.
@JakeHellbach Very neat. Yes, I noticed the paraset upon looking at the photo a second time. Did you build that? I read books about the norwegian resistance and the paraset was used up in the winter mountains, while they 'lived off the land', to keep touch with England. 73's!
Why not make the mock-up battery plug into the flashlight? Fill it with modern batteries, then plug it into the back. Then it will have a more period-correct weight (being full of batteries), and installing it will make the flashlight work.
TBH, the development of the light was pretty far along when we came up with the battery idea as a way of covering up the guts. It would have taken some re-engineering of the light system to get that down. The battery we've come up with will hold 6 AA batteries, so it does give some heft to the lamp. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! We've got lots more coming on the website, and here on the channel.
Thanks Sarge ! It was a pleasure to camp with you and enjoy your cooking at the squirrel camp! See you next year!
We will be doing more cooking at the next Squirrel Camp, that's for sure!
Great intro vignette!
Looks awesome!
And its fun to play with, too.

@@ScottCarlson-cz7wjyes, I made it and it’s housed in a period suitcase as the SAS used in WWII. The inspiration was the movie “call to spy”
The telegraph key is part of a WW2 OSS suitcase radio he made for one of his stock footage videos. Thanks for watching!
Went to the site but still listed as sold out.
Are you in NH? Asking based on the NH county registration tag in your background. 👍🏻
