Your voice is like the “how its made” guy but with what i think is a southern accent? You are very clear, concise, and explanatory, which i really love. Even though this subject doesn’t really interest me, i can always appreciate a tutorial that is made this well.
I could listen to you all day your voice is almost hypnotic in a good way and every word full of experience knowledge and nicely spoken, as complicated but for the laymen easily understood 😊
Great video, I followed Larry right along. Nothing better than hand cut checkering, especially when you did it yourself. Now I just really want to go on safari after the soundtrack lol
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...
@@CharlieWebster90501 I'm a master craftsman. I bet if you converted all the time you spent watching TV or RUclips in a week into checkering a gun stock you'd get something done.
And people say guns aren't artwork. I want to see anyone who says that try this shit and get back with me haha awesome job Larry, your kind is a dying breed.
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.
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.
Pay attention children. This is a Master Craftsman in his element. Thank You Mr. Pottersfield...Great video on a craft that seldom sees the light of day.
C'est de l'orfèvrerie Mister Larry POTTERFIELD.🙏🙏🙏.
Beautiful work.
The patients of a saint!!!😂❤
Larry Potterfield is my hero
You're such a good teacher, Larry.
That was beyond amazing. Is there any method for us non "patience of a serial killer" humans?
You are very creative
Talent at its best!
The ingenuity of our previous generations never ceases to amaze me.
Larry is a master.
Thank you firearm mr rogers
This guy is a wizard!

Im 28 years old learning this to pass on to my son with my collection
The zen of checkering

That Westly Richard's is a beautiful rifle!
There’s no way! After watching this im just going to leave it. This guys a master craftsman, he’s on another level. Possibly from another planet haha
This has definitely changed my life
Awesome insights!
Truly impressive!
Putting in hard work
I could listen to you all day your voice is almost hypnotic in a good way and every word full of experience knowledge and nicely spoken, as complicated but for the laymen easily understood 😊
Awesome job
Fantastic video. It is a lot of work, and even more patience.
This dude has MAD PATIENCE !

This is perfect for my ADD
That's a very patient piece of wood.
While this is an older video, fascinating to watch a craftsman at work
Great video, I followed Larry right along. Nothing better than hand cut checkering, especially when you did it yourself. Now I just really want to go on safari after the soundtrack lol
excellent eyes and patience.
so cool and wonderful
WONDERFULL WORK! I THOUGHT I HAD ALOT OF PATIENTS. NOTHING LIKE YOU.
Larry has convinced me that this is not a DIY project.
Very nice Mr. Potterfield
awesome job
Cool video! Thanks! Man, I don't have the tools OR the patience for that! Kudos on your skills.
Wow , how skilful is that. Amazing Craftsmanship 👍
Differences between me and gun checkering
Gun checkering is functional and attractive
Larry Potterfield is the Bob Ross of guns.
I have some beautifully checked rifles and shotguns.
I always knew it was a true artcraft .
After seeing this I will never attempt.
Great video
Nice video. Very informative.
thankyou very much. now i just have to work out how to make the cutting tools.
That looks pretty quick and straightforward compared to many projects one can take on. If you make a mistake it's not like the rifle is useless!

@@ThomasRonnberg OK wiseass
A good checkering goes a looooooong way for the eye.
This was awesome. Great craftsmanship!

Really admire your vast knowledge of firearms.Wish you were my neighbor.
It's high science, man. It's an art form. You an artist.
Patience in this case is a virtue.
The suspense is palpable. Amazing video
Nice to see real american craftsmanship. Excellent job.
C'est fantastique ce travail. Algérie
I never knew this was done by hand i always thought a machine ran the lines. Thats truly remarkable craftsmanship

Cool work! Craftsmanship and patience shown here by Larry! Congratulations!
I am convinced there is but a handful of people of this generation that has the patience and skill to be this meticulous
Beautiful
I love this music
Sweet! Another mod for my rifle!!
Guy pulls out dentist style lights and magnifying glass on head...
Guess I'll just use truck bed liner...

Where can one acquire the tools to begin learning?
Thank you Larry this has been very helpful I'm going to do mine too
This is amazing. Why didn't I learn this earlier? I'd be a happy man if this were my full time job.
I liked the music 😌 really enjoyed watching that checkering lovely work !
great work! I love this stuff. A true craftsman.
God bless these craftsmen. They add spice to life. Thank you for uploading this info
Craftsmanship every six year old will appreciate.
You sir have the patience of a saint ... great video🤠👍

Good work Larry. Curious to know how long it takes to checker a stock. Thanks for your help with the 4-H kids.
Pay attention children. This is a Master Craftsman in his element. Thank You Mr. Pottersfield...Great video on a craft that seldom sees the light of day.
Save yourself 16:45 and put it on 2x speed.
It just ain’t fair for one man to get all that knowledge and ability! It doesn’t leave enough know how for anyone else!! The mans a genius!!
This man makes it look so effortless
Thank you for sharing, though what happens whet the end line doesn’t match up?
God that Westley Richards is a pretty rifle.
Really nice presentation and instruction. Very cool ,,, Thanks
I always wonder how it was done,Man this has really opened up my eyes thank you
Patience is the key in this game.
