just wish,d i could of got both sides of the grip the same but as some of the wood was missing i could not and had to build it up with glue and resin

 

but its back together and working fine

Never doubted this would be the outcome for a moment. ..........

 

But it did look bloody horrible to contemplate how you were going to pull this repair off, Jimmy

Cracking outcome Mac.

It took some sorting out Simon i can tell you

 

Just gutted i could not get the two sides of the pistol grip to look the same

 

as there was bits of wood missing so had to fill the gaps

I think you have done a 'cracking' job there Jimmy, your nepew should be pleased as well with the hours you must have spent on that mate.

'ey up lads been a while as I've been rushed off me feet but fook me what a thread to come back to,the praise you get for these projects Mac is well earned,most of us will never undertake such a restoration and I guess you enjoy doing them more than we can know and for sure the process looks much more simple than it really is,keep em comin as they make a good read

I really like the finish Jimmy, no shine just a nice lustre showing the grain which is exactly what I want on my TX200.
