Your work ethic and small shop setting is encouraging. I follow your channel to stay inspired to get there with my own small shop someday one small piece at a time. Thanks for all the effort that you put in to making the videos and exposing your own mistakes. Its very refreshing and realistic.
I read all of the reviews Bill GREAT JOB . One person said no matter how many jobs we do we can make a mistake true . But a true craftsman you will never see it .
You have inspired me to attempt to do a butt stock cartridge trap on my cape gun. I'm gonna practice on a old stock first tho I'm good with metal work. Wood is alot harder for me trying to match finishes and also to get the inltting just perfect. Thanks this video has given me a idea on how I want to go about it.
How do I get in contact to have this done to my 686? Also…. To be honest you didn’t show the part I most wanted to see…. How did you ensure the stock and comb were aligned before milling??
Well this worked 🙂 Not entirely sure I understand what you mean by aligned? Also, I have so much work right now that I'm not taking on anymore until I catch up.
I had to make it big enough to fit the lift mechanism first (this was probably most important). The rest was mostly an artist eye. There was only so much room to work. I needed to maximize the amount of comb for the shooters cheek without leaving what was left in front and behind the cut out weak.
Apologies if I sound ill-informed but when you switch your milling machine off there is virtually no over-run. It stops immediately. I assume that it has some sort of braking device? Your attention to detail is refreshing.
Thanks for the comment and complement Vernon. The Bridgeport has a "break" lever. If I were to let it run down it would take several seconds....so I use the break.
I’ve been looking for someone to do the same work you did her to my Marlin Trapper 1895 stock. Hard time finding the pieces or someone to do it. How would we go about having you do some work like this? Sent you a message on Instagram

Thank you Wiley! Keep working the dream brother! Yup...I make mistakes. Dont like it when I do...but I do. 😏

Thanks Earl.
Best videos on this subject I've seen.
Thank you so much Don!
I had a comb put on my Browning and I wish it looked like your job!
Thank you! We always try to use the best craft and craftsmanship we can.
Nice to see you in action. Great work
Yep...just a little time away
@@SixRoundsStudio Please don't get used to it.
@@jimmeroniuk8266 I'll be here
That was a bit of a "hair puller," but the end result sure looks *fine,* Bill! Thanks for bringing us along!
Ain't got enough hair left...
@@SixRoundsStudio LOL! I'll share some of mine. 😆
@@kbjerke Will take it...and the glue to attach it
Well Done. Looks amazing. Knew you would do a great job.
Thanks Chris.
Beautiful work great job thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was waiting for this video and it was worth the wait thank you.
Thank you A.R.!!!

@@A.R.American1 Yep..."can't" is not an action. Dig in and try it...and learn from it!
Rolling with the punches.
Yep...sometimes that exactly what you need to do. Still hate making mistakes though

how do you know how long and thick of a piece of wood you cut out of the stock for the comb, is there a standard or rule of thumb ?

How much would you charge to do this on a beretta?
So I work by the hour, so predicting a price is impossible, But, Depending on what is required the job could go as high as 300
@@SixRoundsStudio can I get some contact info for you please? I am interested!
Great job 👍. No matter how long you do that stuff, you always make a mistake once in awhile!!!
Yep...is true! Still dont like it 😶
I am having this done by a stockmaker in Ohio
Nice. This can be a scary moment for a stock maker/craftsman
