Awesome John!

You are a master craftsman! I need to get my stuff together to show and tell the awesome stuff you have made for me! It will have to wait til next week however as things are crazy this week both at work and home!

That makes a Rat 1 with its crappy Zitel scales into an awesome collector piece!

Another have to have mod for a knife we probably all have and love but are bored of.

Thanks guys, these have been extremely fun to make and play with! As a matter of fact I'm sitting here in my dark office and the knife is on my lap glowing away, I often don't even realize I'm playing with it.

I bought a knifemakers subscription a few days ago, and once that has been accepted then I'll make a thread there where you can sign up for the first sprint run of 100 pairs. I'll number them 1/100 for ultra luxurious rarity. Any more that I make after that will not be numbered. I'll be buying more material this week and will start making the next batch by the end of the week!

Although I'm new to this forum I'm definitely not new to making stuff, so keep an eye out and I might just wow you. I've got tons of ideas, along with the time and ability to make them happen. :D

Got some more work done today. Originally I was having trouble with the middle of the glow scales bowing up, so when I used my corner rounding tool it wouldn't round all the corners evenly (cause it wasn't flat). Well, I think I've cured that problem! Check out my new 1/8" thick aluminum hold downs, these should keep that glow material nice and flat. I even made little cutouts so that I'd have room to do the engraving for JG on the right and 1/100 on the left. It's almost a shame that these are just a fixture tool.
