Might be photos posted by Talisman, or Tal1sman on the old photo page. Do a search here for boring customgrip, I think I asked this at some point and got a few answers. I've tried 1/2"ID tubing sharpened & eyeball the EVA feeding in, did not like the results I got, as the CG heated up and clogged the hole (I used Aluminum & copper tubing) & the hole was bored slightly off center. To be quite honest, not one person noticed the grips were not 100% perfectly symetrical, but for the amount of work I put in, I notice and hate teh grip. Talisman uses a simple jig & gets it right every time.
