Thanks for all the advice gang!

I chose to do the Dremel and diamond file thing since I had already HTd. It was slow (keeping the heat down) but it worked.

As stated, the hard part was coming up with an aesthetically attractive design that was also unique.
The one I chose was inspired by the 'fleur de lis'--its an asymmetrical slice of the fleur de lis actually.

I avoided sharp corners in the event I do one pre HT (avoiding stress risers).

Precision is key on these things! I'll keep working on that.

Thanks again for all the help!
