Tomtom and i worked some on wood removal and lockplate inletting. I do like the tiger stripping in this wood, the right side will be covered with a brass PB, but no carvings on the left side~per Lexington style. I will need to make ANOTHER toe plate...seem this one is 2" shorter than it's supposed to be...and i don't like the screw placements anyways.....!
I need to make the fancy-dan brass sideplate before I can fully install the lock, then a day spent inletting and setting the set-triggers~and i will fill my 'cuss-jar' i'm sure...stinking set triggers....i would rather do 3 RR entry pipes than one set trigger....
yeah...I know on picture #3 that comb curve will be adjusted.......I need to go study Paris Hiltons clevage some to get it a perfect curve.............
anyways, for those that enjoy my posts and crazy cat comments~here....and for those that don't like it....go have a good cry :blah: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
and it would seem, I have a 'Betty Page' front sight, to much overhang....what should i do on this fellas?...trim till it's sighted in, or trim with a smidgen of overhang?
P.S. Dennis said i'm to play nice........sorry, sometimes I have TO much on-call, and I get testy like my kat...........

Looks like you need to take some more woood off and maybe run a piece of sand paper over it a couple times.
I've always been a little leery of any "Fancy Dan" stuff........

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
