https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xcXszM3_Hg Part 1 of 4 ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | ||

Nothing wrong with how he did it; I made my first one, in about 1967, with a hatchet. Stock duplicators being in short supply then. I know it was before 68 because I ordered the donor rifle directly; none of this FFL crap invented by the GCA of 68. | |||

I can remember how easy it is to take off "TO MUCH" wood using a belt sander. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

That's alright for purely utilitarian type stock, but isn't art in my subjective opinion. However, everyone's ideas on art is subjective. Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

The artist bit was a little tongue in cheek ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

Necessity is the mother of all inventions. Got to admire his ingenuity. | |||

His stock design may be wanting, but his method of excess wood removal is fine; certainly not for those with shaky hands or lack of nerve. Of course it is dangerous and easy to mess up the stock, but after all, he found the wood under his house. | |||

Necessity is the mother of invention. Not every stock has to be a work of art or cost a squillion $ unless you need to generate self esteem. I'll bet he shoots more animals in a year with that 'bush' set up than most of us shoot in a lifetime. Good on you bro. | |||

I don't care for the finished product, but I think he works very efficiently. Kinda reminds me of Duane's beaver wood eater. | |||

Wonder if he uses the chainsaw for checkering too ?? | |||

You've got to admire his courage, I would never attempt that with a chainsaw... I flirted with something similar in this thread: Chainsaw grinder After my last post on the subject I tried it on an inexpensive blank and had pretty decent results, but if I even blinked the thing would plunge right in. I was nervous enough about taking off too much that the time saved wasn't worth the stress, so I quit using it. Maybe one day I will use it to carve a bear... | |||

Quite a talented guy. I suspect if he was provided all the same tools that the professional stockmakers have and a year of apprenticeship he would give them quite a run or their money. Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue. What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||
