It's been a while since I've posted on LTW, and now that school has started again, I have a little more time to spend in front of the computer, and I'm too cheap to put the internet in my shop.

Summer was busy with Summer School, remodeling the shop, and trying to keep up with work.

Here is one of the projects that I have recently finished. This one for a gentleman coming next Saturday to pick it up. RRA frame, Caspian Slide, Kart Barrel, and a whole lot of polishing before Glenrock dipped it for me.

My Camera has a habbit of focusing on the reflections so I had to take a bunch of photos and delete a few. The last photo was cool because it focused on the windmill behind the shop.

Grips are from Esmeralda.

Stunning work brother. Can't wait to see what you do with that project I've got on your table. That polish job is incredible and this is the third gun I've seen finished by Glenrock Blue and all three have been perfect. Very nice.

That is one shiny pistola. Nice details.
Did you get that high of a polish with a buffing wheel or is that all old fashioned elbow grease?

That was me, some 400, then 600, then 800, then 1000, then 1500 grit sandpaper followed by 555 polish on a hard/soft felt wheel spinning at 1800 RPM on a Baldor Buffer.

That polished blue is impressive. Never have seen that on a 1911. Very, Very nice.
