Shapely Grand

[RiverNut]

I like the Grand for it's capacity but it's a little big for my small hands so I whittled a little off for some all day comfort. Still have some final sanding to do but I think it came out kind of cool. And it's sooooo comfortable!

That is awesome!!!

Love it! When I first got mine I wondered about machining a "tactical grip" for a Reo and what it would look like, now I know. Looks amazing well done.

thanks guys, I'm really happy with it. It took a little time but it was a beautiful day to sit on the back porch and smell the roses. (or was it aluminum)

And now you can mount it under an AR and protect the homestead and vape at the same time.

In the oven at 660C for 15 minutes! That looks great.

another 'wish i'd thought of that' moment!

Are you sure you didn't run over it in the car?

I'm amazed at how much metal you had to work with around the edges.

 

[MsLoud]

OMG It looks melted!! I LOVE it! Great job!

Hrm, the door isn't hinky to get back on is it or did you "melt" it too??

 

[MamaTried]

The back edges (corners) are the thickest, giving you the most room for shaping. The door and the body's slots for the door are thin so there's really no material that can be removed on that side. Once I finish it I'll take a couple more pics from other sides too.

looks aside though, it fits me like a glove now

It reminds me of my reflection in the Fun House at Playland SF.
