Grandma’s Flashlight
This “flashlight” is the oldest thing I have that I made.
I made it for my grandma when I was around 10 years old. A couple of C batteries, some electrical tape, a button, and an old Christmas light.
Grandma mentioned she needed a small flashlight when using her house keys at night. I said “Don’t buy one, I’ll make you one Grandma”. So I Frankensteined this together with parts I’d been collecting and storing under my bed. And God bless her, she used it.
Fast forward 20 some years later, after grandma passed, I found it in her nightstand drawer. She kept it all those years. It kind of broke my heart a little.
