    Default 8/8 Wm. Gregory in horn and stone...

    Well, here ya'll go...my second rescale. Translucent horn with a recon stone wedge. Ran into some problems with the 'drilling of holes' portion of the test...I promise I wasn't drunk when I drilling the wedge-side hole lol, the drill bit jumped off my punched mark just as I applied pressure to the bit

    Just looks like a little delamination. Could probably sand it smooth if you wanna unpin it.
    Otherwise nice'n'shiny & neat fitting of the wedge.

    Shame about the holes. Great peening job though, and I dig the wedge.

    Think about unpinning and polishing that scratch on the front scale.

    You will feel much better and be totally proud of your work. Good job.

    Beautiful scales, and nice touch on the wedge. I'm 50/50 on polishing out that chip; you could go either way.


    On the other hand, you should be ashamed of yourself for owning a Canon. lol

    Just add another pin on the wedge end. Make up for the one that is a little low by adding one that is a little high. Looks like you will have enough room.

    Just my two cents.....
