That's some neat stuff! Thanks.

Pauly, absolutely no offense taken! If I can find it, I may end up making something similar from acrylic. I hadn't worked in G-10 very much so I wanted to try a little more difficult project.

Thanks for the compliments.

Dang, I got caught! lol. Glad you like it. I'm a little upset still with the wedge, but I don't know if my second attempt would be any better. I really really really need to get a belt sander. ...

....I got his razor done today! I think I need to remake the wedge though. It isn't quite right yet. Black G-10 with toxic green liners and wedge. Stainless pins and stacked washers. I think I need...
