...once upon a time, it stood for something. Now, it stands for something else.
I give up. Whatever. All y'all are crazy.

I see occasional references to members here creating things with CNC machines.

Knowing nothing about the capabilities/limitations of this technology, I'm curious if CNC can be used to faithfully replicate a pair of grip panels for a Browning Hi Power. Of concern is the proper depth (or thin-ness) of each panel. Various merchants sell wooden grips supposedly for Hi Powers, but they're all noticeably fatter than real ones. They look and feel awkward on the pistol, like grabbing the wrong end of a bat.

Asked another way, if I have a proper-size pair of grips (black bakelite) to copy, can they be duplicated in wood? Or maybe a standard template is available somewhere? Can CNC do that?

Possibly in the Portland area?

Thanks for looking.

Between my wifes injury (fall resulting in a brain bleed) and covid, I was kinda stuck at home alot. So, after a bit of research . . . a 1/12th scale 'Nam era river gunboat, scratch-built.
57" long and 18" wide (that's a queen sized bed it's sitting on). It's an armored troop carrier and referred to as a 'Tango' boat. Oh, and it's radio controled; props and rudders.

Then I was going to build an ASPB, originally designed by Gunderson Bros. of Portland, Oregon; but after the cost of building the 'Tango' boat, I decided to hold off on that project.

Had this piece of curly maple burl sitting in the wood shop for the last couple years. Finally decided to make a pocket dump for my end table.

You certainly carry a lot of firepower. What is your other knife that is not the Benchmade?

Nice boat!

Is that a game of "Chinese Checkers" I spy in the background?

Whoo, kind of offensive! Are you playing 3d chess? Lol

That's a Reate Exo gravity knife.

Well, if I have not offended you yet today, then you are probably just farther down on my list; or so the t-shirt says.

I think Hayharnel was targeting me with that joke (about my reference to your Chinese Checkers game), Hooyah.
It was just a joke, as I'm sure was his. We're all good here.

 

[Hooyah DeepSea]

That's why I added the "Or so the T-shirt says" part. I'm not a libtard; I understand humor. Yes, we're all good here.

 

[Hayharnel]

Sorry if I thought that was offensive, wasn't trying to offend any of the offenders! Lmao!

 

[sobo]

Now I'm offended...

 

[Hooyah DeepSea]

Yeah, really !!! I might even defriend you on facebook . . . Oh, yeah, I don't have facebook.

 

[sobo]

Oh, yeah, I don't have facebook.

You are a good man...


Ooops! I hope I didn't misgender you with that clearly biased and white privileged assumption.
