Thank u all! Briha sir, essdee, kshitij, atul ji, big daddy n ibalajis. Glad you liked it. With stalwarts and connoisseurs having such deep knowledge of weaponery ,present here , its difficult for me to run out of inspiration and motivation for my amateurish attempts.
AD, I will be in Bangalore in the last week of the year. I would love to meet you personally and shake your hand. Maybe there will be a bit of "induction"!!!
Essdee bhai, you may not have to go to bangalore or wait till the end of the year! I am in process of changing my job and as luck would have it, my new role requires me to work out of Mumbai! So in all probability, by mid next month, you can find me living somewhere around the Powai/Hiranandani area...! I am most keenly looking forward to meet all members of the CM gang!

Do you make your own micatra?? And what epoxy is available in India for making it??
Atul
Yes Atul ji, its homemade micarta. I use Pratik's method of using Areldite as the resin medium. Its a lot thicker than ideally required to easily saturate the cloth layers. The application is a bit mesy but gives pretty decent results on hardening.
