Steampunk Headset Hook (6 of 6)
Build -
The doorknob plate had a brass collar for the doorknob shaft. I chiseled this collar off and used them as top and bottom flanges for the battery holder.
The battery holder is a copper T-joint from a plumbing hardware store. I cut a slot in it to fit it over lever arm and set it with a self tapping screw.
I decided to use a lever & fulcrum to counterweight the headset which weighted 1.1 oz. I use the weight of the battery to offset the weight of the headset. I felt a lever & fulcrum was a more adjustable than some kind of spring action.
The flashlight bezel/reflector had a flange which made mounting to the plate easy.
I used silicone adhesive to mount the LED into the flashlight reflector.
