Bob, as somebody once observed, there are no real "trade secrets" in gunsmithing. The key is that someone has an eye for nice work and knows what the end result should look like. That coupled with patience and a lot of hard work will yield results that approach or equal the best. It helps greatly of course to know people who are master welders and those who can furnish or make hard to find parts. The specific hand finishing techniques to achieve the result is available if one looks. Your pistol looks really fine and Hugh's grip work is choice.; looking forward to additional photos.
Thanks for sharing.
