Hello folks. This was an antique post and I’ve weathered yet another hiatus in making. But my new shop is almost operational and beyond a few belated orders have many ideas going forward. I’ve really missed making stuff. My website is currently down because it got hacked but I “plan” to get it...

Okay, I've had a quick moment to review the ideas and - no, I've nothing to add right now. Laurence really laid it out for me, hitting most of the questions I'd hammer you with should I ever get to watch you work. I trust you'll get the Cliff notes in for each of those thoughts. :) Lyon...

Sorry Bruce - no ideas intrude right now but trust me when I say - I'll be there for that!

Jesse, that's just beautiful! 1911 is my all time favorite handgun and that one - that's my all time favorite 1911. Thanks for letting Bruce share it, and Welcome! You found a good place.

By the way - I looked up that Chinese. It says "Hunminjeongeum." :D

Hi Glenn; welcome and happy anniversary! I trust you're attending to the Mrs right now and will see this later. Bruce is an incredible maker - of anything. You cannot go wrong here. Almost makes me want to start forging! :D Well, almost...

Since I'm lazy and hurried, will you tell me what it says? I got a real kick out of seeing the Korean kanji (what are these called in Korea? I feel dumb) on the casting. Bruce... Bruce, I absolutely love everything you make. That thing is just so pristine and perfected. I feel ashamed of...

Okay Bruce, you've piqued my interest - now you're committed to photos! :) That sounds awesome; can't wait to see it. Thanks for the excellent description.

We have our hotel reservations and we've blocked off our work calendars - we'll be there Bruce! And Laurence, I'd dig meeting you too. Now... Do I have to make something for show and tell? :D he he he!

Bruce, I am going to bend every effort to be there. That would be freakin awesome!

I'm so happy! I love this stuff. :)

:D Sorry Bruce, I do keep my eye out! I had several months off and now slowly getting back into the swing of things. This may not sound like good fortune, but truly - it is: divorce. That did set me off for a while while I gathered my wits, but I'm coming back! :D I haven't been happier in...

Bruce, you're a wonderful man. Thanks for being you. :)

The reply notification drew me back to this page. Coop's pics just made me relive the whole build, Bruce. What an astonishing piece of work! I'm so honored to get to see this. Thank you for the extra effort put into building this WIP; it's just invaluable to people like me who ... dream.

I second Ben! That's cool Bruce, it's not often we get to see how a productive maker works. That's just cool; and I want one! But you'll have to wait until I either win the lottery or start hitting my 401k in a few years... he he!
