[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3526378, member: 15054"] I have been told by many people over the decades you can't do this or that without a lathe or mill or some other tool. Whatever! I can build many things with common tools like a drill and a saw hammer and chisels. Trigger guard is a no brainer. Hacksaw cut some round steel pipe to the width you want the guard to be. Then cut the pipe so it is not round maybe like in 1/2 to make a C shape. Weld some flat steel to the ends of the C. Not a welder. Not an issue. Cut the pipe and then bend the ends to make the mounting flanges. You can heat the steel in a firepit to make it bend easier. Many ways to get there. I will say an angle grinder with this attached to it will shape the wood in short times.

Those pads also shape metal. Use finer grit as you go there. [/QUOTE]
