golfluvzme Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I am not sure how many of the members here got to see my transformation of a ruined Cameron MidSlant, over the past few months. Here is a slideshow that pretty much covers each and ever step that got it to the beauty that it is, today.

Phillip Alexander Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm most interested in how the dings were created in the first place Temper temper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice recovery job. The question now becomes how long LaMont will keep that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfluvzme Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Ditto, a Woody Austin moment (boy would this tick him off because I remembered he did that)?Nice recovery job. The question now becomes how long LaMont will keep that. In my whirlwind year, I totally forgot that I posted this here. I sort of left everyone hanging with zero details, though a few other sites had more information on it. The putter came to me from a Cameron collector who had a friend with a temper. This stick was actually drug behind a cart for a while, then it appears to have been used to hit a ball off of the blacktop of a parking lot. I had the nickel stripped, then cleaned it up a bit. The gouges were tig welded in and then I reshaped it to get as close as I could to original. Removing the smaller dings cost some weight, so a bead was welded in around the perimeter of the cavity. I believe it tips the scales at just over 329 grams, now, perfect for a 35" putter. The face was remilled by a professional and his first light pass virtually eliminated the stock lettering and shallowed the dots. To make it a little more custom, the dots were milled out and the dancing "CAMERON" was stamped on the face. I designed the "THE PHOENIX" stamping to show that the putter had indeed been dead and was brought back beyond original glory. Thanks for the comments on this one and there will be many more in the future. LaMont in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
