    1911 grips
    custom rail covers
    tool head holders is a good one
    side saddle plates for various shotguns
    flashlight holders barrel clamp things
    you could actually build lowers
    butt plates
    glock backer plates
    +2 glock extensions
    cheek pieces
    scope caps
    hand guards
    holders for stuff inside magpul grips
    flashlight bodies buy switches and bulbs

    i'd like to do my own line of fire pistons if you're interested but that's more of a lathe/screw machine process?

    Rifle gun cases out of similar materials you already use for cabinets. Even the cut pieces and DIY assembly. Custom foam inserts for same.

    Foam would be difficult without a vacuum hold down, I think.

    What are your material holding capabilities? I think grips would definitely be a cool project.

    We've got a 50" x 100" CNC router table with a 12" z at work, but it's tough to get time on it for 'pet' projects.

    We use a 15hp vacuum pump. Works great on larger parts, not so well on little stuff.

    You know you can pull vacuum through MDF, right? We use a perishable sheet of MDF on top of our vacuum plate - holds smallerish parts alright, but yeah, tiny stuff not so much. We'll throw some plastic over the open parts of the MDF when trying to hold smaller parts to direct more vacuum to the area needed. Painting the edges of the MDF helps too.

    EDIT: n/m - I see you're running the same setup after looking closer at your video.

    Pistol grips out of exotic woods would be nice. Hell, you might be able to machine ivory...

    Stocks for Garands and M1 Carbines, made from high-grade exotic walnut blanks? Pretty pricey venture though, you'd have to perfect it with cheap wood first. Garands with stocks made from Bastogne Walnut are gorgeous.
