This is a build that I did a while back ago and I had some time tonight to finally do something for my self instead of answering PM regarding orders.
I always hated the fact that I was going to end up making a grip one day so I took a short cut. I started by placing a block of wood on my CNC table and ran the code to mill the wavy section for the fingers.
I made a template to use it as a guide when milling the outer and inner sections of the grip with the manual mill. I did not want to use the CNC to complete the grip although it would have been a hell of a lot faster and easier.
Once the sides and the inner section of the grip was completed, I milled the top section of it.
This is the part that I hated the most “sanding time.”
A pipe with the sandpaper wrapped around it took care of the inner section.
The outside of the grip was a completely different story.
Although it was more work that I thought it was going to be to complete the grip, the end result was great and now I have a “master” to cast my own grips.
I hope you guys enjoy this build thread.
