Ahh...jeesh... You should have seen me earlier in the week when I was researching PlasmaCAMs or CNC plasma tables.  I came across some homemade plasma CNC tables.  "Hmmn....Yeah, I could make that."

Fiddling around with micarta and epoxy seems like the cheaper option.

I have got one or two other design ideas for these micarta grips, so we'll see....

A guy I worked with built his own mini CNC milling machine.It really isn't that complex, just 3 calibrated threaded rods , one for each axis of travel.

Don't forget the pipe clamps to hold the puppies together, and the ziplock so they don't stick to everything, and the heat for ... what was the heat for  ???

Tyler, if no one has told you this before, you are crazier than most of the folks here....

It's you, a couple of guys from the outback, and many one or two more all in a tight group in contention for that title.   ;D ;D

WOW!

With each successive puppy, Luna gets even more aggressive with getting the placenta the umbilical cord off.

Anywhooo....back on topic....from another forum, I was asking about grips.  It sounds like making them for revolvers would be the way to go, as it sounds like there isn't that much of a market for them yet.

if I were to start a legitimate business (like became an L.L.C.) I have to wonder if I could take my gun purchases off the business's taxes???

She's probably tired!  My dog, when I was a kid, chose my bed to deliver at least five litters.

Are you letting her eat the placenta?  She needs the protein she gets from all that nasty!

from doing some google searches, it sounds like eating the placentas causes the mama dog to produce a type of milk called colustrum which according to a few other websites is full of stuff that boosts the puppies's immune systems.
