I don't foresee bobtailing any more 1911's. So I'll send it your way, if I ever do another you can send it back. Maybe kick in 25 and we'll be half owners, or kick in nothing and we'll still be...

I'll stick to my Stanley tape. I didn't mess up. I figured that was how it was done but couldn't figure out how to do it on a drill press. I've since got a vise that I could probably attach to the...
Looks good!
I don't know for sure how to use the jig, it's like you have to line up the original hole somehow and then line up the new hole, but when the jig is in place the hole is of course hidden. Maybe it's...
I generally don't switch. I wear a real light (wife beater shirt) like a tank top. As I have to have cloth between me and the IWB holster. Then a light button shirt over that. Generally I can...
I got a jig that must be used on a machinist drill press. I couldn't make it work for me. But it did give me the correct distance. I ended up with my trusty Stanley 25 foot tape and plotted the...
That's a beautiful gun. I'm breaking out the polish to work on some shine.
Wonder how the little voice inside the fridge knows what the heck is in there? Ok, I officially skeered.
That would definitely work!
Wish you weren't on the opposite end of the continent. I'd take a look at that 19 year old Savana. My 24 years old F word van is still doing fine and I actually like it but I'm still a GM guy. ...
I think the stone is basically clear. There's like a foil or something shiny on the back which is what shows up. They are like plastic or glass. I put one in that was flawed and they fit the hole...
Ya know a Blind Hog gets an occasional acorn. Glad I got it right. I think them stones show up better than I thought they would.
So nice to see an engine picture where you can actually see the various parts out in the open, not covered by plastic and get at stuff.
Here's the last set for awhile, need to let my neck, eyes and shoulder have a bit of a break. I'm gradually building back up to where I can fiddle with grips for longer periods without being...
I got some super slims just about done today. I'll probably have em done before close of business. When exactly is close of business you ask? Could be today, or maybe tomorrow, or perhaps even...
Here's a shot of those last grips with the slip on magwell.
Actually I don't think it would look that bad. I think I left enough that the wood would still be above the magwell. I could actually taper it down to fit the magwell and recut the checkering. I...
I agree, funny thing is on all the negative reviews the manufacturer responded with thanks for bringing this to our attention etc. But weather paid or not, I know reviews are to be taken with a...
Time consuming a lot like wearing your fingers to the bone polishing I imagine. I had a set of checkering tools long long ago that I could never figure out how to even use, until I saw in a book or...
I thought of that and they might work with the magwell too. I did bevel the bottom but might still work.
Oh man, your a lucky guy. I'm blessed with a fine cook and baker myself but that with the pecan sounds truly mouth watering. My drool cup runneth over.
"Now, I read and check out everything possible before I make purchases. "
Funny thing is I always read all the reviews and investigate. In doing that on this last dryer, almost all of them were...
I saw a set a fella did on Fakebook where he left that border on the front and back and kind of liked it. So tried it myself. Funny I'd never seen that before. Guy was a relatively new checkerer...
I've done a lot of skip line checkering, many folks don't care for it and a lot of people that checker don't like doing it. I don't understand why. It's no different than regular checkering. This...
One thing that is deceptive I found was the hole at the rear of the extractor chain to remove the back plate is smaller than it appears. I pushed and pushed with no results as my tiny little...
