Installing medallions on SAA grip. How to?

[Bibbyman]

I have a new pair of Cattleman 45 Colts that I'd like to decorate just a little.   I have some nickel 45 cases and a mini lathe.  I'd like to make some medallions from said cases and install them on the grips.  Any suggestions on how to cut inlays in the grips?

Forstner bit of the correct size, and a dab of 2 part epoxy.

Thanks,   

I measured the head of a 45 Colt case. It came out a few thousandths over .500".   I was thinking of thaking them off the Cattleman and marking the spot and drilling a small pilot hole.  Then making a bed with modeling clay on a small board so they have a chance to be held in a stable position.   Maybe chuck the Forstner bit in drill press.  If I could rig up a way to turn by hand so to not go too deep.

Many drill presses have a depth stop. Milling machine would be best if you have access to one.

My drill press is an el-cheapo. I'll check before starting!
