Nice!!
I kept wondering about your progress on this. It does look great. If you progressed no further it would be an awesome hilt. I see you're using a different brass knob setup than what you originally crafted.
Yeah, I found the proper valve adapters at a bike shop. I think these look a whole lot better.
Regarding the extra grooves, I thought I'd disguise my Dremel slip by making it look intentional, and doing it all around. I still need to do another groove further down to match the original.
I decided to have the emitter ring made. I wasn't going to spend the money, but it wouldn't look right without it. I should have it in a few weeks.
My Dremel-fu was strong last night. I got the grooves cut out of the grip piece, and they look OK. I'll post pictures once I get it sanded and painted.
Thanks for the good feedback folks!
I've been watching this thread with GREAT interest. Once I see your pictures, I may build up the courage to try one myself... When will yours be sanded and painted???
Probably not until some time next week. Busy time right now. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.
