Awesome job

Awesome job, uncle B - they look fantastic! Thanks for the pic, Melissa, great background. Enjoy the grips.

[Bawanna]

Your surely welcome Melissa, I'm glad they fit and feel good and most importantly you like em. Thanks for posting the picture, I thought I'd have to wait till next week.

Did the screws end up not poking into the mag well too far. The worked perfectly on mine but were right there, any more and they'd interfere with the magazine. They look good and like nephew said, great background and photo. Theres a place for you in advertizing at Bawanna Grips if we ever go official big time.

We have to find a quick change setup so you can wear those buckeye burl handles. Those are drop dead gorgeous in my book.

Well, I called the store I bought the Defender from and lit a fire under them. So, the Defender was at my FFL today instead of next week. Of course I took the Defender straight to the range. Also took the thin bushings with me and had my gunsmith install them while I was there. They were staked in, so I wouldn't have been able to get them out.

The screws don't interfere with the magazines at all. Could you make the buckeye burls into thin grips by shaving some off the back?

I would be honored to be a part of Bawanna Grips LLC.

now there are two sets of ti-ty pink grips floating aorund out there. I no longer have a collectors item.

They look better on her gun than on my J frame

[Bawanna]

It would be difficult and risky to thin the buckeyes down from the back, not a good surface. I might be able to pull it off. The risky part is theres a good chance they would get lost in all the confusion on my bench and end up on my Cbob by mistake.

I'll give it a try if you want.

[Bawanna]

Good news! I am looking forward to the unveiling. Bawanna Super Thins has a nice ring to it.

Should be able to unveil shortly. Gave some to the post man this morning.

In my haste and lack of time I didn't even get a picture so I'll leave that up to you.

Hey, Bawanna! If you ever get serious about about having a web site for your Grip Emporium, let me know. Here's something I threw together while watching TV tonight. http://www.wix.com/bawanna45/bawannas-grip-emporium#!

Goodness gracious darlin, you completely blew me out of my saddle or wheelchair I guess would be more accurate.

How cool is that. I'm totally pole axed here. I reckon before I or more specificially YOU did something like that I'd best get a business license and get legal. I'm not sure I could handle the want list honestly and still take care of my friends right here on Kahrtalk.

That is wicked cool though. Can people see that what you done or what happens to make it pop up for everyone. I gotta ponder this.

You knocked me plumb over, I ain't kidding.

I'm also pondering the beating I'll get if that picture of SWMBO goes live on the internet but we're leaving it for sure. No doubt about that.

[melissa5]

Do you really like it, Bawanna? If not, it only takes a second to delete it or change it. Yes, people can see it if they have the link or use google, but they would have to know what they are looking for. About SWMBO, we can crop her out of the picture if you want. Also, I can take out the false contact info and set up the site as just a place to show your grips rather than solicit new business. Just let me know what you want me to do.

[bigmacque]

I'm ready to order, bwanna ..... the grips look cool, the pic of the drill is just the right ambiance, and I would have to vote to remove the SWMBO, as there are too many that cannot help but notice something like that and revert to prurient and base commentary.

[jlottmc]

I think that was a nice photoshop there. Might be something to that grip making stuff for you after all. Just don't let it become work.

[Bawanna]

Kind of what I was thinking last night. Maybe like a grip blog rather than solicitation? Jlott has it correct as much as I'd like to make grips full time I can't make em nearly fast enough to live on it. Might be a good retirement supplement some day. I really don't want it to become work.

I also want to take care of kahrtalk folks first and foremost. Old Lincoln created a real showcase when he started this very thread and I even checked with Johnh to make sure he was ok with it and he generously was ok with it.

I guess I gotta go with bigmacque on deletion of SHMBO. I probably should put that picture someplace else anyhow. Maybe put a picture of John Wayne or Ronald Reagan there instead.
What kind of grips do you need anyhow bigmacque?

Let me wrap my mind around this some more. I see websites all the time but never with nothing about me. Have to ponder. Pros, cons.

[OldLincoln]

Wow, Mr. B! That web site does look really good, kinda hard to resist. You have a lot to think about. Maybe you can buy some more productive equipment with proceeds here to keep it fun and not burn out on it. You certainly have the touch, so I hope you stay with it for your enjoyment.

You are mostly responsible for kicking things into high gear here with the creation of this very thread. I can't thank you enough for doing that in the first place.

Been alot of help from everyone finding wood and stuff too, alot of new material to experiment with. Its been a long while since I played with any unmessed with wood. I think the last might have been that mesquite from Jlott which I was just looking at again last night with question marks running thru my head. Might send a couple chunks of it off to get stabilized along with that spalted maple you sent up. I suspect it would be really pretty and even more rock solid stabilized course then I'd have to make jlott another set of the new improved stuff to keep his new 1911 up to date. Never ending circle.
