Here's a custom piece that is being made for one of our favorite HOGs. . . . I thought that you guys and gals might enjoy a thread that shows some of the hand work that goes into a custom!

First, here's the rough cut blank that measures a full 3/8" thick!!!!! :eek: This is sawed out by hand on a metal cutting bandsaw. . . .This usually takes about 3 beers and 4 glasses of scotch!!!

(I would have used the tongue sticking out smiley, except it looks really stupid now)

I know my limit and I wouldn't wanna be near a metal cutting bandsaw after about 3 beers and 4 glasses of scotch.

Jeez I'm sober and I see a face in the blade!
