Caleb's Workbench "Projects"

[Caleb]

Here I will try to collaborate all of my projects so 1. I can keep track of where I may post them and 2. for those that would like to see what I screw up!

**Disclaimer** I am by no means a Gunsmith and/or a professional. I do this for myself and for fun. Please take what I say/post here with a grain of salt. Do your own research and have a real Gunsmith do the work for you if you don't know how. I will not be responsible for any injuries that may occur if you follow my thread/step-by-steps and try it yourself.

To Grip or Not to Grip.......

Bought these scales on egay to try my hand at making my own grips. Follow me through my adventure and see my mistakes and/or accomplishments.



I'll start with the Flame Box Elder Scales..

Traced out the pattern using a factory set from one of my full size (Government) 1911's Then drilled the grip screw holes, still need to countersink them. Then started cutting them out...







Then I sanded them down to shape...



This is where I stopped for the night, more to come later....stay tuned!

Criticisms always welcomed (good or bad).
