My fingers got too busy typing before I saw the end of the video, sorry for “jumping the gun”. The finished work was excellent. I always enjoy seeing your videos.

Finally, a KZbin Gunsmith who knows what he is doing ! Thanks for an excellent video - you made that broken Weatherby look like new!

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thank you Paul

Probably one of the better gun stock repair videos I've seen. Good call on using that blind screw.

Wow! Thank you!

Who are the 4 Mental Midgets who gave this video a thumb down? Wow! SixRounds Studio, that was Phenomenal!!

[@ajskustom]

nice work now i want to learn how to fix guns now

[@SixRoundsStudio]

There is plenty of ways to learn. Schools, mentorships, DIY . Just need to jump in. Thanks for commenting.

[@texaswader]

Wow! I didn't think that could be repaired to the point of not being able to see that it had been repaired but you sure pulled it off. Mad skills, I'm beyond impressed.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

The checkering hides most of the repair. Thank you again!

[@ajskustom]

I say he performed a miracle cuz I thought he was gonna have to scrap that stock

[@DMan-xz2yd]

Phenomenal. You did a great job to totally camouflage the break. Beautiful.

Thank you Daniel. These are always challenging repairs.

You sir,set a very high standard,possibly only a small few can achieve.

Wood is good. The checkered area looks super.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thank you. I was pleased it came out well. It also helped to hide the repair. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@jimgallagher5785]

I must say, you have learned incredible patience., well done! I do have one question though, how does a perfectionist meaning me learn to live with imperfections?

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thank you for taking the time to comment Jim. Well...im not sure I can speak for every personality...but for me (a fellow traveler) every day and with every job, I do the best work that my skills and my training allows. I have come to accept that "my best" is the best that I know how, but that "the best" is a place I still need to arrive at (I call it true north). For me perfection is always a future place, and the journey (one foot placed ahead of the other) combined with a willingness to go on that journey with honesty, hard work, perseverance and a dose of humility, will find every next attempt better or improved from the last. Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers: The Story of Success, following an analysis of several different researchers, published this concept that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to accomplish "true expertise". Every one of those hours is that one foot placed ahead of the other. However...and always...the artist, the craftsman, "the perfectionist" needs to accept and learn to be comfortable with the state of perfection in which they currently exist...knowing thier very next attempt will build on the former. Honor your mistakes as you learn from them...and then take one more step. I talk about this very concept in many of my videos. Best on your journey Jim.

[@dalanwanbdiska6542]

glued back together my stock i dropped and cracked off the right side of the rail all the way to the rear. Fell apart in 3 chunks soit was super easy to put back together with glue. Next ill bed the stock back into the stock and the refinish the stock , ill remove the old stain and old reshape the parts that are popping out. Use some epoxy to strengthen the cracks with holes and metal pins. Thats what i was missing, a clamp . Once its done it will look like it was a refinished stock. I wanted a rifle to work on anyways so this is all fun for me. I love working on guns of all sorts.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Nice! Yes this can all be really fun. Thanks for taking some time to comment!

[@jeffbush4461]

Bill, I recently found and subscribed to your KZbin channel and am really enjoying your videos! Please keep them coming. I also enjoy restoring the classics, but am nowhere near your level of craftsmanship, which is outstanding! Question: What is the brand of artists color that you used to match the color/ stain of the Weatherby stock? I've not used these before and would appreciate any guidance you can offer? Many thanks! JB

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Hi Jeff. Thank you! If you are referring to the artist oils that I mix in with the finish, I am using Windsor and Newton. I’m sure any high quality artist oil would work.

[@jeffbush4461]

Bill, Thank you! I'll be sure to pick some up and try them out. JB

What kind of epoxy? Brand?

[@SixRoundsStudio]

For this repair Brownels

[@gmcblinger1]

Great job. How much did something like this cost??

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Thanks for the question. We work by the hour so the cost would always depend on the amount of work required to do the repair. We never know what to expect until it reveals itself. For instance having to pick all of the crystalized glue out of the break from a previous repair was unexpected and took time to accomplish.

[@gmcblinger1]

Thanks

I'm looking at a double sxs that was repaired at the wrist. It looks professional, but I'm concerned about it holding up.

[@SixRoundsStudio]

Wow...without seeing it??? Depends on where; what gage; type of break; type of repair...so much matters

[@stevedouglas5443]

@@SixRoundsStudio I just talked to the man who did the repair. He glued it with guitar glue, with no reinforcement. I was skeptical cause I asked about reinforcement , he said: "that's what amateurs use". Anyway, that's what he said. BTW, it's a 12 g the break is perpendicular to the stock.

[@jonvelde5730]

Awesome job! But unfortunately, a lot of the secret technique seems to be, put 200,000 man-hours into it. It seems like this couldn't possibly be an economical alternative unless the cost of a replacement stock is several thousand dollars!

[@SixRoundsStudio]

There are lots of reasons owners choose to repair or restore and not to replace. Cost is a very practical approach (sometimes replacements are not available or themselves very expensive). Other times emotions make the decisions (gun belonged to a friend or family member). And in the case of an antique or classic...its only original once so many owners want to maintain as much original as possible. Its interesting that you think the cost for repair is so high as to make it unreasonable an approach. Thank you for your observation and comment.

@@SixRoundsStudio Sorry, not very specific. What is your recipe for the Secret Sauce Red #2 and #3 that you used for color matching. It matched so well

@@drd1924 Well....Its a secret ;) But I will tell you it involves red artist oils and mixing them into the finish until the color matches. More art and experience than science.
