Colt 1911 Stainless..........not too friendly

Marty.
I'm going to try that geometry out today. I'm using a 90° graver with a 20° lift now. and a 55° face.
Sometimes I put a tiny flat on the bottom with a ceramic wheel.

 

[FANCYGUN]

Jere
I used my dual angle fixture to do the face at 55. Then just used the easy graver grs fixture a 105 for the slight heels

 

[jerrywh]

Marty.
You're just trying to get me to buy one of those new fixtures. Maybe I will. Anything to speed thing up.

 

[FANCYGUN]

Jere just set your dual angle fixture, i assume you have one, to a 15 degree lift and a 42.5 rotation the just kissy poo each side of the 90 to your stone to create the heel as you like it.
Then just send me the money you were going to spend on that new fandangled fixture

All I Know is that SirJohn instructed us to DOUBLE the price on stainless for good reason!!!!!!

 

[jerrywh]

Marty charges double all the time.

 

[FANCYGUN]

Charge double??? Pashah...i should get a purple heart

 

[jerrywh]

In reality, Marty is underpaid. Aren't we all?

 

[FANCYGUN]

Thanks Jere Have you tried that graver geometry yet. It seems to work for the bulino type cuts but most likely go all to hell in a hand basket for the scroll style depths

 

[FANCYGUN]

Need a break and not wage war for a while thanks for all the kind words and encouragement so far

Well i finally got the slide finished I picked up a pair of buffalo bone grips for the gun and they were really really white To try and age them a bit i soaked them in tea for about 2 hours and that helped but were a bit orange so i then hit them with some medium walnut stain and i think that worked

I've used coffee on elk Ivory to darken it.

I prefer not to put strange objects into my coffee or my tea... I drink both, the one in the morning, the other during the day.

You don't know where they might've been and they might alter the taste in some detrimental way...

ok, i might not use a pair of grips for stirring my tea, but who among us hasn't used a screwdriver or some such?

Being a machinist my 6" pocket rule is always handy..... what does not kill you makes you stronger!

 

[FANCYGUN]

We should all start to stir hot drinks with a hot melt glue stick

 

[Brian Marshall]

I guess using a hot melt glue stick to stir your coffee or tea would certainly end any diarrhea problem...

Probably permanently?

Kinda like radiator "Stop Leak"...

[FANCYGUN]

after much deliberation and hot drinks tastefully stirred not shaken..............these are the grips i decided to go with for the gun. polished giraffe bone
