Beautiful work Michale. You must be in SW florida cause it was below 80 this morning at 8am and now it is some where in the low 60's upper 50's but not bad concidering the last couple of post from Shadow there is some funny white stuff on the ground and it's not sand. Keep up the good work would love to see some more pic's. I wouldn"t mind a set of those 1377 grips. Welcome to the GTA.

Thank you all for your kind words.  The post was a lot of fun to put together, and I got lucky and stumbled on a comfortable design for the grips. Making your own grips that fit YOUR hand is genuinely rewarding.  I just wanted to share the experience in the hope that I would inspire all of you to get those tools out and get cutting.
