I've been trying to stay busy in the shop, but making a living keeps getting in the way. I've had a few ideas recently, including moving the grip profile forward to the rear of the trigger guard. It seems to create a better match between the two pieces.

I've also had time to put together a pair of "2289s" that I'm growing very fond of. Great shooters!

The Brazilian Cherry that I purchased recently is very difficult to work with. It's as hard as a rock, and burns very easily. Once you get it shaped, it's quite good looking.

Very nice work!!!! I've tried my hand at making Crosman doodads so I know what goes into them. Your work is definately top of the heap, I especially like the fore grip you made for your pumper, looks like it would be real nice to hold when you pump.

Very nice Michael, be sure to keep us up to date on any more ideas.

I agree. Very nice work Mike. Day jobs just get in the way of our real passions. Keep us posted.

Very nice. what is a 2289? The twins look like 1377s with 760 barrels installed. Funny, because that's what I'm planning on doing to my 1377, after I power mod it.
