Cutting the Torch

Cut the torch at 1/4th the length of the body.I cut mine like this

Polishing the Torch

Rub the torch surface with a piece of sand paper. This will give it a nice finish.

The Holder

Wrap the wire around a cylindrical object like a pen.wrap the end of the wire around something larger to make the holder head.

The Stand

For making the stand I used a
M. S.D Board. I asked a carpenter to drill holes for the holder,switch and battery.

Removing the Reflector

The beams from torches are usually focused to one point.Let's fix this.Remove the reflector from the PCB and fix the PCB using epoxy.

Strengthening the Wire(optional)

If you are using wire of low strength, there is a chance that it can't support the weight of the Torch piece and will bend.Supporting it with epoxy is a good idea. apply epoxy only halfway up.

Connections

Connections are simple.Refer photos.
