New grips I made for my E-mag

[Load SM5]

Well my computer was in the shop for about 4 days so I got bored. And when I get bored I have to screw around with things so I made some new grips for my E-mag and want to see what you guys think. Their grooved like the angel grips and quite comfy. I carved them from some acrylic we had laying around the shop and polished them up. I want to see how when they hold up. I may eventually back-spray them masking off certain areas so the electronics and LED screen show thorugh but I'm not sure how I want them yet so they'll stay clear for now. Any suggestions? Feedback?

Not the greatest pic...you can't really see the grooves but they are there.

[pito189]

Very nice it has the futuristic look.

can we say "make me some?" ;)

[Load SM5]

I might consider making some for folks eventually, if the interest is there and these hold up well.

Wha:confused: ? Does mean good or what?

[AngelBoy]

I think that means he likes em:)...

[Dave]

very beautiful...they are simple, yet wrap up a classic and futuristic look...I have also been experimenting with grips(out of wood) and as soon as i can get a decent picture of them I will post the first pair I made for my intelliframe. You know what would be cool? To find different tinted plexi-grass or whatever you use to make them, that way if someone had a red Emag, the could get red tinted grips....I bet those would sell really really quick!

how much would you charge for a set of those, i like the look a lot. how do they feel in the hand? lt us know how they hold up, i would definitely buy a pair from ya.

They feel great. If anyone has picked up and angel LCD before they feel a lot like those. That's really what I modeled them after and the only thing I liked about an angel more than my e-mag. They also slim up the grip a bit too.

I do actually have some scrap red acrylic if someone needs pair to go with a red E-mag. How much are they worth? I don't want to screw anyone. I'm not DYE.:D

Look at the Dymondwood, carbon fiber stock, and all the other cool handle material they offer. I really like that multi-colored Dymondwood.

[bond1313]

I will take the red ones, how about 15, for them.

[oneshot]

Keep them clear those look awesome. I would be interested in some clear ones if you would decide to make more. Keep us informed on your progress

[ZeezNutz]

those are great i think the clear is the best keep them that way :)

[Muzikman]

Now, I'm not a plastic expert...but can you dye those with Rit dye like you can the warp and normal nylon plastics? If so, I want a pair ASAP..I'll give you $30 right now to pre order.

sweet grips, man.
the only thing i would wonder about is how slippery they get when the playing gets muddy and wet (remember last time I was up?) Lol modeled them after grips on an LCD, huh?- - - wonder who's gun that was. hehehe. Oh, by the way, the shiney mag is no more. I got sick of it, so it re-designed it. Youll have to check it out next time im up. by the way, that should be in about 3 weeks or so.

Finally, you missed it- - - i was at NAP last friday, saturday, AND sunday. Brent and i played in the 2 man. Didnt do so well though-lol-have some funny stories, though.

Anyway, catch ya later.

yeah those are def tight....me wanty

[Bain]

definately very nice, I would also purchase a pair off ya dude. I like the clear look, very cool lookin.

[vtec]

let me know what you would want for a set of the clear ones or a smoke type color if you could get ahold of someething like that. let me know. <---- ready to buy.

[Load SM5]

Wow, the responce! Thanks guys.

What I'll do is make another pair, maybe in red to see how that works out and try and perfect the process a little more, and make a pattern to make sure everything is nice and consistant. I'll let you guys know when I get them ready sometime next week and see what you think. How much I charge will depend on how fast I can make them since they are all hand made. Thanks again for the interest.

Carl-Sorry I missed you. Yes, I got grip envy after messing with your angel that one time. Let me know when you come up a week in advance so I can tell my wife to leave my life alone for that Saturday.:D

[kilaueakid]

hey load,
you wanna swap df's? I got the same one but in black. Yours appears to be a pewter or some shade of gray...unless it is just the photo. lemme know.

[Miscue]

Dude... how do I get me some of those? :)

[Load SM5]

kilaueakid- I kinda want to hang on the shocktech drop. It is going to go with my future silver/black scheme.

Miscue- I'll be knocking out another pair next week to refine the whole process and gather up a few tools to speed it up as well. I'll post the results then and if I feel comfy enough I'll take a few orders. I'd really feel like a knob if I sold some grips that people are'nt going to happy happy with when they get them. I'll probably make some and let a few guys be my beta testers and give me feedback on improvements. I'll keep all you guys informed.

Sorry I missed this one...

I don't know about dying them but depending on the color they could be backsprayed pretty much any color. I may try dying a scrap chunk though to see if they can be tinted. I kind of doubt it will work though.

[DJTmRave3]

Leave them clear...they rock!!!!!!!!!!

[FooTemps]

Buy some light tint and put it on the back of the grips... That should look cool...
