Front strap checkering can be done with a long cutter and a fixture that rotates and holds the frame. I have a rotary table for rotating a workpiece on the mill, but I don't think that's ideal for doing checkering. That process is very intimidating to me.
Did you speak for this from Allen?

I was half expecting a response like "that's what a dremel is for." But instead, you respond with honesty and vulnerability. You're really taking this machine work very seriously ... good for you! And good for us in the long run.
So, to continue with the real machine work discussion, what surfaces do you see this sort of line work to be applied to? I'm just not seeing applications for it.
Slide top serrations and rear face of sights. I used this method when I made the rear sight for the Sar K12 that I recently sold. Which happened to match the serrations on the hammer pretty damn well.
If I could snap my fingers right now, I'd be an established gunsmith and doing that as a full-time career, with metal art mixed in there too (though I don't think Etsy is the correct platform for me). The majority of what I want to do is offered by Evolution Armory, though I don't have much interest in the refinishing side of things (except bead blasting stainless steel).

I'm not much of a football fan, but this (morning !) Colt's game in Frankfurt, Germany is a riot.
The German fans like to sing John Denver songs, and rock back and forth.
Watching the crowd is very entertaining !

Yeah, had I not made a few purchases recently, including a 1911 not too long ago, I'd probably be checking out that Ronin. Still got a little bit of an itch for a Commander, but not sure I'd keep both 1911's in the stable as it's a "just because" gun.
The Echelon I'm thinking may be my FNS gun once I get some additional mags and an optic for it.
That said, going into this year, I've never owned an SA firearm and now I have 4.

I took my Echelon out the other day and had some fun with it, glad I bought that one. I'm finishing up my Ronin 10mm project, that Ronin would be nice but he was pretty adamant about not shipping, not sure why. I've had good luck with some previous purchases by just telling them drop it off at your dealer of choice and i'll take care of the shipping and transfer, should be even easier than arranging a FTF!
That 9mm Ronin was very tempting. Too bad I have no funds available.
