Gunstock Checkering Part 3 - The Final Details

[@PaulWattsSpringGunning]

Lot of good tips! I've always used 60% on borders and slightly kiss it with 90% to clean up the wiskers. Great video! Thanks.

[@CraigPetty-p1h]

Tremendous video as always. Will be placing another order very soon. Thank you.

It was fun to watch a man at his craft. Beautiful work.

VERY Good instruction. Could you show us your gunstock vise (holding tool) and explain how to follow the master lines to make them parallel (what tools to use). I'm 72 and about 45 years ago I checkered a Hawken 50 cal. for a friend and it looked pretty good but seeing your stock, I realize that I could have done A LOT better if I had used better tools and better practices. Thank you

As you know... love your work and your vids. We've talked which was fantastic. I'm gonna retool. Sit on a high stool etc. As I've said...LOVE YOUR TOOLS.

Excellent work...

[@takedeadaim8671]

I just found your channel. I was beginning to think checkering tools were impossible to find. The only instruction I could find were in old Gunsmith Kinks books and Larry Poterfields 3 min video.

Glad you found us! We are always here to help - feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our tools.

Well done.

[@gaildimick1831]

Sure is a nice stock jig. You make a hard job look easy. I suppose some stock wood is more difficult than others. Something I have never done. Thanks.

Teria como enviar para o Brasil

[@michaelullman2405]

Nope, not even going to refresh. Nice video.

Can't wait to order some cutters off you soon Michael, just waiting on a tax return!

[@keithabernathy1769]

Do you do stocks for the public

[@michaelullman2405]

Thank you for your question. Typically, we do offer a checkering service. At this time, we are not taking any new work.

[@fistaloconner5830]

How many hours do you have in a job like this ( or the stock from the 1st 2 videos )?

[@michaelullman2405]

8 to 12 hours for most patterns. But it can run as high as 30 hours if it is really complicated.

[@fistaloconner5830]

@@michaelullman2405 I was curious. I've only checkered 3 stocks and it seemed to take forever. I guess I wasn't that far off. It's taken me 12 - 16 hours, so that's not bad for a rookie. Thank you, you do beautiful work.
