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.
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.
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
@@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.
