Need to retouch the top of the frame (originally worked on about a year and a half ago) and fix the cylinder which got messed up thanks to a chipped graver from a worn out chuck receiver on my 901 waiting on grs at this point

I was kind of going for a southwestern style so far I'm pretty happy with the overall project minus the stainless quality on this old piece

did you decide on a certain graver material/geometry yet? TFA

So Melissa was kind enough to remind me that vibration can break tips pointing out that in some of my photos I have thermoloc and while I was actually using the vice jaws to hold this piece in place my chuck receiver on my 901 is abysmally loose (half inch to three quarters inch of play at the very top of the graver) so while I don't notice as I'm cutting that doesn't mean it's not there... So I'm currently waiting on a replacement from grs then will do some testing maybe inside the grip frame and go from there. I have a magnum hand piece that's still nice and tight but it's not my go to unless I'm doing background removal so I will be patient ;)
