Hi folks,

wanted to try the nice amigo design by xxdollarbillxx.
Made the fat one of the three but after a little shooting i think i slim the waist a little more like the other of the three amigos xxdollarbillxx designed. Think a slim waist is more comfortable for my small hands.

Here is the nice template by xxdollarbillx:

Thanks buddy!
Done that...slimed the waist.
I printed the slim waist template and layed it on the frame.
Wanted to keep the fat bottom of the fat template but the waist of the slime waist template. Made car board templates of both to see what fits the best.
Ended up with a combination of both....so pretty much the fourth amigo

Had to modify the shape, too.
Still feels too bulky in my small hand nevertheless the slim waist i added.
After some shooting it does not feel comfy to hold.
So i reduced the forktip width from about 19mm to 15mm each and tried to smooth the curves from the fork to the middle section of the frame.
That's the problem when using a template another guy made. It's been made for his hand not your own. But anyway...now i think it fits my hand as best as possible. Won't be my famous frame but still a nice design xxdollarbillxx brought out.

Lbs baby!
Wicked mate where do you get the material it looks good

 

[Bootsmann]

It's phenolic.
Got it from a company here in germany.
Realy tough and rugged stuff.

 

[Bootsmann]

Made a couple more...
I'll keep two and the two others get 2040 tubes and will be a gift for my two best frinds.

Made one in g10.
Two 3mm outer layers and three 1mm liners in the middle.
