      Pretty quick? I think you need to learn HOW checkering is done by hand, then attempt a FULL checkering pattern on a rifle stock - then look at your work and tell us how "quick" that work was...

    • @carlbruschnigjr1757
      @carlbruschnigjr1757 10 лет назад +1

      On many of the cheaper, mass produced ones are pressed into the wood. A close examination will show the fibers of the wood are bent into the pattern, and not all the diamond points are sharp, whereas checkering that is cut in will show the fibers cut. I did a little refinishing work on a stock for a friend and had used my checkering tools to deepen and sharpen the pattern on his stock. It took about 2 days to do this, but the first time he held the gun, he was amazed at how good the grip felt.
      Great checkering is an art form.

  • @wrongfullyaccused7139
    @wrongfullyaccused7139 3 года назад +1

    I started checkering about 45 years ago. In the beginning, I improvised clamps that would not damage the stock. Once I built my checkering cradle it made things so much more pleasant. I put off building one for years until finally set aside time to build it. Works great. Glad you told everyone about a checkering cradle. Now, my only problem is eyesight. Can't beat the clock. Hard to find good eye pieces/magnifiers. Nice video.
