Here are photos from a new Cossack and detachable top made by Michael Richards.
Michael’s only fault is that he makes things extraordinarily neatly. You don’t need to match his perfectionism. I certainly can’t!

Cossack top / light pad instructions.
Instructions for making a detachable top for your Cossack light hat. It also can be used as a light pad, provided that you make it with gel-covered LEDS.
Further to yesterday’s post about Michael Richard’s clever addition to the Cossack light hat, we have now completed the instructions for the detachable Cossack top/light pad which you can download below.
Detachable Cossack top / light pad
The instructions for making a detachable top for your Cossack are close to being finalised.
The top, as with the Cossack itself, has a frame made from plastic-coated mesh.
It uses gel-covered 12V DC LED strip. The gel covering is really important because it allows the top to be used directly on the skin. If you get the non-gel-covered LEDS then your skin will be scratched and the LEDs will be uncomfortably hot.
Here’s the top resting on Michael’s sore hand. Note the gel-covered LEDS.
And here it is with the lights on.
The last photo shows the Cossack and its top shining together.
I’ll be posting the detailed instructions very soon.
Cossack upgrade
Michael Richards, the creator of the design for the wonderful DIY Cossack , has been working on modifications.
One key modification is making a top to pop onto the Cossack so that there is more light coverage over the whole head.
Stay tuned…
