Thread: Another stock building attempt

@Maca49 gave me this bit of walnut quite a while ago and I was about to get in semi inletted for me but decided it wouldn't be the same if someone did the hard bit for me so I am doing it myself.

I haven't completely fucked it yet which is a good thing haha





Really wish I had a bandsaw and mill drill, would make this 1000 times easier I reckon

Wow you clever little shit! Well Ill be hanging out to see this finished and what the grain is like, this timber was 35 yrs in storage till I got it!

It's a bit chunky for my munty little fingers Toby.

Well I stuffed it up a bit trying to use a chisel. Should have used the router instead. Hopefully there's a die the right color and I'll fill in everything with bedding stuff

Good to see you having another lash at it Tobe. Also good to see you cleaned up the bench mate

Looks like he justxpushed it off onto the floor! Don't trip over that chainsaw Tobez!

Shit, and here I was thinking that my shed was a bloody mess but you got me stuffed Toby. I just checked out a peice of walnut that I have had in the shed and I was going to use it to replace the stock on my Finnwolf but the bloody walnut is warped. Plan B coming up

Still got heaps of wood to take off with the rasp. Had enough of it today been a fair few hours on her today. Finally got the floor pate matched up to action. I might get the bedding compound and bed everything first so all the excess and what not will come off when I shape the stock.

I'd be tempted to hack it down a bit with a chainsaw if you don't have bandsaw/jig saw etc. Although I do most of my wood work with a chainsaw! Haha

Just keep the welder away from it Toby.

get an electric planer to take the bulk of quicker, or a raspy disc in a grinder. way easier and quicker than a hand rasp lol,

Hey Toby I've got a Ryobi planer here you can have, needs a belt guard which I can't get for it! Let me know

Thanks for the ideas and offers but Im alright using man power for now haha. Gotta build up my muscles somehow eh

Should of got someone with a copy router to do the inletting for you. Then you only need to do the shapey thingy.
