New 14 run

[Kiro]

Guys, sorry to disappoint, but my sfo won't actually ship until Monday. I am just trying to get ahead on the shipping by printing labels and getting packaging ready, 'cuz I'm on my own and 100 orders takes time to prepare, but fear not!

Thanks for the update. I'll try to find something else to obsess about for a few days.

No worries, it'll be worth the wait.

Good deal, Barry! I wondered why I hadn’t gotten my notice yet. I’ll wait here!

First peek at the smooth appaloosa bone for DLT...and a better look at the finish on Frank's.

Oh man, those Oily Creeks are the bomb!

I'm a little confused, process-wise, though. The shields were installed for other photos do they take them out for the finishing? I don't see pin holes are they glued? Maybe the photo is just throwing me off.

I was just typing up a similar comment. Not sure what's up with that.

Might be waiting to put the old man in after buffing on this one...don't wanna shave of too many of his whiskers, maybe?

 

[mrknife]

the old man is usually shiny!

I think you hit the nail on the head. They will sit a shield in a knife for a photo op; but you can't buff much on a detailed ns shield. Thus pin attachment and install will probably be after buffing job is complete.

Easier to open right out of the tube than my red sawcut, but still snappy. My fear with the run of 14 clips was they would have weak snap. Glad they are snappy, thin blades are nice too.

Looks like you got a nice one John. I hope mine is as dark as yours.

Makes good sense. Thank you both.

Thanks Mike that makes perfect sense.

The thin blades are because GEC has a new CNC blade grinding machine.
