Ol' Gabby
« on: July 09, 2015, 01:52:03 am »
To those of you who may still remember me, I'm still kicking staying vertical and taking nourishment.
Been busy as a one legged well digger this spring, made 2 sets of pistol grips  one for my stepson's 1911
 and one I sold for another man's revolver.
I've just finished up building, (finishing it would be more correct as it is a rough machined and inletted stock) for my Ruger 10-22 rifle, lots of sanding and 10 coats of LinSpeed linseed oil finish later I think it looks pretty darn good I'll see if I can still remember how to upload photos to this post. Just noticed the post from Steve about the attachments problem, I guess I'll have to come back later and put some on here for you to see.
The wood is spalted sycamore and it really gives it a dramatic look. You wood junkies should enjoy it.
I didn't use the scroll saw on it but I did on both sets of pistol grips so I'm still using it often.
Later y'all,

I'm still doing a fair bit of scrolling but not as much as I would like, life keeps getting in the way.  Take care my friend.

Great to hear from you Gabby! With you and Graybeard posting this forum is getting back to normal. That's a good thing, right? Hehe.
