Well Folks,,, it has been OVERWHEALMINGLY more complex than I EVER imagined to get to this point. But,,, I produced my VERY FIRST one off stock of my own design from my duplicator machine.
While I will be refining some of the lines on my master/pattern a little more,,, I am pretty happy with 001!!
I have learned more in the last 48 hrs than in many previous weeks!! I am also getting better at hand shaping my patterns & using less & less "Bondo" on them now!! Diana 34 #001 is not for sale Folks. The pics just do NOT do this stock justice I promise. This stock came out great!! This one is going to Me Pops.
Gene has done SO MUCH for me that even though this one aint perfect,,,, It needs to be his. I promise you will LOVE it Buddy,,,,,,, it BLOWS AWAY all the others I have done for you!! WORD!!
Mr Bob,,,,,, I will be back on your Marauder 001 stock next week. It is TRULY a ONE OF A KIND!! I will NOT be duplicating it. Please dont feel slighted because it has been "shelved". You will be thankfull in the long run as I did not want to mess it up & am feeling MUCH more confident in my finish shaping skills now!!
Again I want to thank all that have supported me thruout this endevor,,, thank you for your support. Tim. PS,,,,,,, Tommy & "J',,,,, I got you guys covered. You too Roger!!
