Mark taught me to scrape many years ago (via video) and its crazy how much ive used it. I had a flat "multi tool" scraper (one of the oscollating dohickeys) that I never used. Nice springy steel. Ive put many miles on it. Probably cut it down 3/8 of an inch sharpening it by now. Redid every gun damaged in a house fire. Mark. Is. The. Shjt.

I recently refinished/reshaped a model 514 stock just like that. I straightened, pointed and fluted the comb, reshaped the toeline and added a grip cap, fitted a new buttpad with a brass spacer, cut the forend tip and added a ebony forend tip also with a brass spacer. Sanded everything starting at 100- 220. Sealed and sanded the finish in (tru-oil+mineral spirits)from 320 all the way through 1000(many coats sanded in) until all the pores were filled and the finish was smooth as glass then buffed it down to a crystal clear satin sheen. It took some time but there was some gorgeous wood under all that varnish and stain.....It was a gift for my dad.

@PatRMG2 жыл бұрын
Yes, boiled. He has a hot water tank that he hung the barreled action in. It causes the bluing chemicals to convert. Then, he uses a special buffer to remove the oxidation to reveal the pretty blue finish underneath. I had preserved this one 7 years ago after the fire by cleaning and oiling immediately. It lost all its bluing from the heat and steam. Just had to keep an eye on it and keep it oiled.

I've learned for 5 years as a furniture restaurator & learned french polishing from an old guy who actually learned it in switzerland (rest in piece, Rudi), I worked for many years as a custom cabinet maker and I learned SO much from watching gun makers and I'm still learning / refreshing by watching gunmakers. I can recommend that to every aspiring woodworker: watch the gunmakers & learns that bit from them. It will enhance your view on the "bundle of soda straws" ;) Another little thing (when you have fresh wood): wet it a little, dry it, then 320 or 280 it again, not much, just cut the fibres the water had standing up. The emphasis is on A LITTLE here.

Great video, Mark, as usual. I would, however, caution DIY'ers about proper handling/disposal of rags used to wipe linseed oil-based finishes. Before disposal of wiping rags, it is important to hang or lay the rags in a single, flat layer to dry completely. Rags/paper towels that have been even slightly saturated with linseed oil, if thrown in the trash or balled-up, can easily spontaneously combust, sometimes in a few hours. Some people will soak them in water, but allowing them to air-dry instead has always worked for me, the very same advice is appropriate for disposing of oil/solvent based stains.

Hello Mark, Can you let me know what brand of Danish oil you use? I can't seem to find the red color you are using in your video. I am in the process of restoring a Wards Western Field 93M 390A rifle. The rifle is approximately 80 years old and I would like to restore it to as original condition as possible. Also, I was very pleased with the results of using a scraper to remove the old finish on the stock. In the past I have used water soluble strippers on my stocks, but was not happy with their effect on the wood. I had an old metal scraper that I used to remove wax on my cross country skis. It did a wonderful job. I enjoy your channel and your sage advice. Regards, Charles Henley

great video Pat.,,,, i could set and watch Mark do his magic all day would give my eye teeth to have been able to have trained under him. nice 22 and i gotta ask HTH did you get Mark to work on it??? from what i've heard him say i didn't think he'd touch one much less work on it..one has to admit he's a master of his trade..i have one that's similar to yours i'm working on right now. talk bout a hunk of junk found it tucked behind a post in a barn ..don't know if even Mark could fix this one but i'm going to give it a try...it's an old targetmaster so it might be worth tinkering with..right now the bolt is froze and i've got it soaking in Marks favorite stuff..."angel piss" hoping it will break free

Once the bolt is out, concentrate on the bore. If that doesn't clean up, STOP. The bore is the key. The rest can be "fixed"

The answer to your HTH is that it was part of a bigger deal. 94 degrees in his shop and I possess a certain set of skills to fix that. 😁

@@PatRMG Wanna ride up to WV and install a full unit in a vet clinic? Totally easy job. I swear you won't have to remove a drop ceiling just to get to the hole where the air handler lives and hoist it up with pulleys. And the dogs are suuuper quiet. :-D

I tried to redo a stock on a New Haven by Mossberg .22 mag. And it didn’t come out the way I wanted. I think I’ll give it another go,we shall see. Thanks Mark.

I have gone back to this video multiple times, Mark is a true craftsman. Staying on topic with the video, anybody try this on a birch stock? If so did it color evenly?
