Step 4Designing the Flashlight
Using the index card and a sharpie, mark the coners on both sides of the flashlight. Do this BEFORE putting on the accesories. Glue on four fastener heads to each side.
Now you can glue on those parts! For the nut, I had to use epoxy because the hot glue wouldn't hold. Then I hot glued the three-way down to the flashlight (with the whole tube assembly put together first). On the other side, I simply glued the gears on.
For the front design, I just put more fastener heads on around it.

i would replace that half-screwed-in screw with a teensy knob of somesort... mostly because I know I would scratch myself on it sooner or later!

The screw isn't sharp at all, and the paint makes it slightly less sharp than what it is.

Just a suggestion . . . wouldn't the glue hold better if you glued all the decoration on first, painted it all the base black/silver, then hand-painted the gold and copper detail on once everything's dry? Probably not as time-efficient, but certainly best for longevity.
