25lpi. Start to finish.
I went back at it today after the initial 5.5 hours in order to touch things up and put the finishing touches on it.
Turned out I should have reapplied the zip ties because I ended up slipping and creating a few oopses that I had to mask. Not entirely unhappy with it, and the pyramids are now much sharper than they were, creating a very positive but not uncomfortable grip.
I received my riffler files in the mail today and used what is essentialy a very small rat tail round file in order to make a wider border at the top. It was when I was going over the verticals with the checkering file though that it slipped and scratched the front strap under the part that is now polished to match the flats on the frame. I had no other way to remove the two worst of them. One is still visible, but it will remind me to take more care in the future.
