Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi James. Looking very nice mate, excellent progress, you have worked hard on that mate Realy like the shape of her. Doing all that by hand is bloody clever mate. You inspired me to have a go at it too James, I asked the mod's if they would put a pinned thread up to keep all the pic's and info, to save it getting lost. Sean kindly did it for us, so if your up for it, post your write ups and pic's in there, it may help others who fancy a bash at it. I have put the pictures of my Plank on there mate If a few more of guy's fancy making one, it could be an interesting thread. ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post

GetOnitSkinDown 5 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Very nice mate. Little and often, make sure you dont cock it up at the last minute. Just out of interest, does it weigh much less than your old stock? Quote Link to post
Guest eastmids Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Got a nice piece of ash timber and started to go to work on making my own custom stock. Timber = 26x7x3inchs , drawm design on card, cut out and templated on timber, sawing and chisiling away, will keep you all updated via these means on how its coming along, will try upload photos along the way. good luck with the project mate, if you havent already used one i cant praise these sanding disks enough, to fit on a grinder there great for shapeing last for ages and take wood of in short time, you can pick them up anywhere Quote Link to post
