Gunstock Checkering TOOLS - Rex Reviews

[@kurzhaarguy]

Rex, Kurt: thank you so much for this production. My dad used to tell me, "when you want a new idea, read an old book." There's no replacement for experience and wisdom. And, it's rare to find someone as generous in sharing. Hat's off, boys!

I've been a professional Restoration, Refinishing & Painting Contractor since 1980. I started helping my Grandad in 1972. I've done this type work all my life. It's not just what I do it's who I am. I also repair Guitars. I've used every kind and brand of Sandpaper there is. I now use Oslong Sandpaper. It's superior to any Sandpaper on the market. Think of it as Carbide Tipped Sandpaper. It has a special latex backing paper and it doesn't wear out like regular Sandpaper. It lasts many times longer. The special latex backing paper feels kinda like those faux leather paper showing waist & length on the back right side of a pair of Levi's jeans. The grit on Oslong Sandpaper doesn't come off even when you crease it and roll it back and forth purposely trying to make it come off. It's wet/dry and even outlasts Emory Cloth. I've seen any Sandpaper that comes close. It's a whole different Animal. Everyone I've recommended Oslong Sandpaper to has switched. I found it by accident and wish I'd known about it years ago. I looking on eBay for some wet/dry Sandpaper to refinish a Guitar Neck and needed an assortment of various different Grits b but didn't wanna have to buy a whole bunch of different packs just for 1 Guitar Neck. I saw an assortment pack of 2 of 12 different Grits, 2 full size sheets of each. 80 grit to 2000 grit, 24 sheets total. It's from John at Marine Now on eBay. John had a really good description of the Oslong Sandpaper with it's special latex backing paper. John said it was superior, better than anything He'd ever used. The description especially the latex backing paper sounded great and 2 full size sheets of various different Grits was just perfect for stripping and refinishing 1 Guitar Neck. Best thing I've purchased in a long time. If you try Oslong Sandpaper you won't use anything else. I told a Luthier Friend of mine who lives in Scotland. He used to order Sandpaper in bulk from someplace in Raleigh NC about 30 miles from my house in Coats NC. He tried the Oslong and immediately cancelled his bulk order. He now uses Oslong exclusively. He builds Guitars full time for the last 50 years and uses a lot of Sandpaper. Oslong really is this good. I sincerely hope this helps you. Once in awhile you find something really good, so good you wanna pass it on to everyone. I'm gonna start making handmade Ipe wood Guitar Picks. Ipe would make a Great Gunstock, Pistol Grips, Knife Handle, etc. Using 3M Polishing Paper from Rio Grande Jewelry Supply I can Polish Ipe by hand and make it look like a Polished Rock, it's nearly as hard too!! I came up with the idea of Checkering part of my Guitar Picks giving them superior grip. What single tool would you recommend for this. I don't need all the tools you describe in this video for this. One tool is all (I think) I need and would greatly appreciate your expert advice. Great video by the way. God Bless You and Your Family!! Jimmy in NC.... PS.

Full look like the wisest person I have see.

[@MrClyde306]

Very interesting. Definitely going to keep my eyes pealed for more of this series and perhaps test out my own artistic abilities.

[@talon0863]

Thanks for sharing. Kurt is a national treasure.

[@47sojourner]

Very excited about this series! I've seen Ken's work in the past and he is very much a wizard with gun stocks!

[@JCrook1028]

What a fantastic idea for a series! I am looking forward to follow on episodes.

Tru-Oil is polymerized linseed oil. It's just like polyurethane which is polymerized urethane. I used to use it before I knew better. The finish it gives is EXACTLY like polyurethane.

[@gawni1612]

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

So glad you are doing this series TRex!

[@whiskeyjoe40]

This is going to be a great series. I would love to have the opportunity to pick Kurt's brain and learn from him.

[@TiborasaurusRex]

Send him an email :-) He's used to his brains being picked...

[@moondog371]

how do you get linseed oil darker ,or shiny ?

[@brymckown]

It's going to be an awesome series! Thanks

[@526247403]

Great intro video!!!!

[@bobbydbuilder2873]

Is there any where to purchase these tools for a decent price. They are crazy expensive..

[@fshs9028]

Sir, what type of wood is best for gun stock?

[@kieranh2005]

Clip on magnifier Loupe?

Shoot your camera man... buy a stand! When demonstrating, keep the camera still and move the items... not the other way around.. if you must move the camera, do it slowly and infrequently. You are always better breaking the item up into separate takes and stopping between each. This is best done by editing afterwards, but you can do it with a simple camera if you think about it beforehand. Be careful about talking to the cameraman or other folk off camera.. it breaks the relational focus with the viewer! You have good knowledge and an interesting subject.. but the presentation is spoiling it IMHO..

[@EastTNGunDoctor]

I agree 100%. Great information, the videographer is just horrible. Makes the video hard to watch.

[@7pines77]

What company do you order from?

[@wavmarcenaria7178]

Como faz para adquirir

[@joeracer302]

You should name this series: Why you should just send your gunstock to Kurt and not have to buy all these tools for yourself ;)

[@elgallodecente1472]

The damn camera does not focus correctly

[@treatb09]

please don't rework a 19th century winchester…the original checkering is always better.
