Hey Kevin, Excellent video. Thanks so much for this video. I used to do some carpentry but never any real woodworking or fine detailing. Coincidentally, Drew at Wesponized Hippie just recently posted that he restrained a Woodstock but regrettably did not video the process. I hope to do this same project with and for my kids, eventually. I can't wait to see your other videos on this project. Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.
Great to be able to do some stock work and to your requirement and has you stated take your time to do an excellent job , which I have found out over time of tuning or repairing Cheers great info 👍
Hi Kevin. When I carved stocks, I used a King Arthur mini grinder. Had a chain head for massive material removal. Then varying levels of pin like heads that were less and less aggressive. Even several flap sander heads in various grits. It allowed me to rough shape much quicker and get to the finish steps with less work. I loved designing the shapes. Most times I would have a general idea, but let the wood and the process dictate the final contours. Also, I just got into modelling a bit. The suppliers sell small boards like your nail files, but with a much wider range of grits. Up to 1000 or more that really just polishes. Might be worth checking out. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Hi Tim. I've carved a few stocks myself that chainsaw wheel that you're referring to would've been ideal. Instead I did all of my shaping with a draw knife and rasps. I'll stop by the local art supply store and see if they offer those abrasive boards. Thanks for the tips my friend.
A good stock with a good cheekpeice balances the gun out and improves the shooting. Beautiful stock, Kevin. Anxious to see the completed project. ScottinPa.
That's a nice touch, to put that exotic wood cap on the stock; of course you know this, it's why you're doing it, haha! It'll sure be a one off, ( as they say ) when it's finally done and finished. Keep 'em coming!
The stock is a take off of an AA ProElite limited edition pattern from James Maccari back when he still sold DIY stocks. 🤷🏼♂️ Still one of his finest patterns in my opinion due to the flat beaver tail BR forend. 😉👍
I haven't produced them yet. It's a winter project that I intend to get back to when my hunting season ends at the end of January. I've got a few others that need to be produced first, and then I'll probably get back into the custom 95 project. Thanks so much for your interest and for your viewership.
Hi Kevin, great job. Interested to know why you used epoxy instead of wood glue. Much easier to clean up afterwards. Will you remove all traces of resin around the buttstock so it does not show through the polish?. Nice idea on using nailfiles for detail work. You could glue one to a small block of wood to make it easier to hold. We have flexiblocks here with velcro paper which would be great to finish the contours of the stock as they follow any shape pretty well. Keep up the good work. David.
Wood glue welds very poorly to Dalbergia sp. like Ebony, Rosewood, Cocobolo etc... Even with epoxy it's often necessary to dry the two pieces to be joined with Acetone to rinse off the oils 1st. . 😉👍 Lignum Vitae is the extreme end when it comes to oily woods as it is pretty much self lubricating. 🤷🏼♂️
Hello my friend. Looks like Marc already answered your question and he's right. (as usual). Oily woods don't do well with wood glues. Thanks as always my friend.
@@razor1962 Hi Kevin, I take the point. When we used to glue iroko with cascamite, the recognised glue in the U.K. at the time the joint could fall apart the next day. We then switched to a grade 4 (exterior) PVA and you could beat two glued up pieces of iroko all day and the wood would split but the joint held. I have iroko window boards in the house glued up with PVA twenty years ago and still solid. Not being critical, just hopefully points of interest to readers. Best Regards, David.
Hey Kevin, it might be a silly question but do you own a multi tool? I don't know how I survived before owning one of them 😂 anyway with this tool in the past I've used old blades and epoxied emery paper to the blade, wrapping over the old teeth so I've got sanding on both sides and and edge, it's absolutely brilliant for getting into little places and also fine detail sanding into grooves and lines. Can't wait for the final oiling and finishing part of the video, love your gentle and relaxed way of explaining what you do.
Dremel makes sanding discs with the 3M mesh abrasives. They are particularly useful for sanding tapered crown shelves on grip caps. 😉👍 The ISSF Actually banned tapered grip shelves on 10M rifles back in the early 80's as shooting appliances/aids. 🤦🏼♂️
Hi Mick. I'm not sure what kind of multi- tool that you're referring to. I do own a Leatherman and a Gerber multi-tool. It's always amazes me how different people find different ways to accomplish a task. Thanks as always my friend.
Hi Charles. Actually, I put that project on hold due to a lack of time. Now that hunting season is over, I hope to resume work on this project very soon. Thanks as always, my friend.
Your wife got pissed of with you playing with the gun and killing things so she nicked the bang bit !! Just left u with the stock !!! What cammo are you using can't see the Acton or barrel 😊

Thanks so much Scott. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the series.
Outstanding work as always!
Thanks as always, my friend.
Nice job Kevin! Satisfying video😁 Cheers!
Thanks Ron. Always a pleasure
A superb job Kevin. Its a pleasure to watch these videos. Thank you.
Thanks Paul. So happy to hear that you're enjoying the series.
Some very nice work.
Enjoyed that. Thank you. Pete UK
Very happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching Pete.
Very impressive.
Thanks Frank!
Engrave your
Initials on the grip cap be nice . Great video . 😎👍🏻
I've got similar plans. Thanks as always Peter.
@@razor1962 welcome buddy
Nice job👍
This stock is coming along amazingly! I can't wait to see this installed and ready to use
Thanks very much my friend. It takes a while but in the end, it's worth it.

Thanks Reg. Your feedback is always much appreciated.
Looking nice 😃👍
Thank you my friend.
Evening Kevin!
Hey Buddy!
Thank You Mark for this punishment 😂
Thanks for an exciting episode. You inspire with your creativity. So I look forward to the continuation.👏👏👏🙂
Thank you my friend.
Oh wow! It's turning out awesome.
Thanks very much.
I'll take your good sanding tips with me.
Glad that you gleaned something of use. Thanks so much for watching my friend.
Nice looks to me you shaping the stock after Pro sport stock
Actually, the stock was pre-shaped. Final fit and finish are all that are required. Thanks for watching my friend.
The stock is a take off of an AA ProElite limited edition pattern from James Maccari back when he still sold DIY stocks. 🤷🏼♂️ Still one of his finest patterns in my opinion due to the flat beaver tail BR forend. 😉👍
@@marcmyers1465 thanks for more info. I knew it has something to do with an AA
Do you have a part 5 and so on? Like the work youve done to this stock.
I haven't produced them yet. It's a winter project that I intend to get back to when my hunting season ends at the end of January. I've got a few others that need to be produced first, and then I'll probably get back into the custom 95 project.

@majorscope Absolutely my friend. We tend to stick with what's worked for us in the past. Thanks as always.
Great job Kevin. The stock is really coming along. Was wondering what finish you are going to use..? Tongue oil, a satin? Keep up the good work friend
Hello my friend. I'll be using Birchwood Casey Tru Oil for a hand rubbed oil finish. Thanks as always.

@@razor1962 oh I'm talking electric multi tool, maybe they have a different name in the US, it uses a cutting blade that vibrates from side to side.
@mick chaganis ahh, yes I know what you're referring to. I believe it is called a multi-tool. I can see how that'd be very useful.
What's the status on this project Kevin?
Hi Charles. Actually, I put that project on hold due to a lack of time. Now that hunting season is over, I hope to resume work on this project very soon.
