Pre accident condition

[Jonnyofalltrades]

A gunmaker friend of mine (now deceased), name of Martin Hagn, once brought a little double rifle he had built, to the shop to show me. When he was taking it out of the soft case he was carrying it in, he banged the buttstock (a piece of wood probably worth about 1100 dollars) on the vise and dented it. He reacted with a "hmmph" and indicated it would be easy enough to fix any way. Whenever he handed me one of his rifles, I felt like I wasn't fit to handle it. WH

I have done so many vise dings! Stupid little three cornered dent.
You'd think I would've learned by now....

Like it never happened,

never under any circumstances should you let a stranger handle your wood.

One of those "that's what she said" lines.

Beautiful work !

Beautiful work on beautiful wood. Like furniture in a palace.

@Bc'z You do amazing work. What finish are you using? I'll be making another stock this winter and haven't been able to decide what to put on it.

Polyester primer and clear, I used Total Boat slow epoxy both times on the Dima and was impressed.
I'm researching thier penetrating epoxy today for possible use on a couple projects in the shop now.

If that's the WORST thing that ever happens to you in this life, you're GOOD TO GO. Keep the faith!! And don't sweat the small stuff.

I’ll show you how to make a “spinner” for the epoxy……after I get my patent…
