I didn't either, when I first got started. Then a little Sherline mill and lathe followed me home one day. Built my first open class USPSA 38 Super on those 'toys', after a machinist and a gunsmith said it was impossible. The mill was too small to machine the ramped barrel cut in the frame, so I did that with a Dremel, carbide burs, and files. Yea, I was told that was impossible too...

Have fun with your new hobby, and welcome to the club!

Already working on the second 😁. Put a Wilson beavertail on my springfield operator to clean it up a bit. It's my first time messing with a beavertail grip safety so using the existing grip safety radius was a nice introduction into this task.

After (work in progress):
