Gunstock Checkering

[MrMichelt13]

Nice!

I'd be curious to see the end result.

[Hirohamster2]

This is an impecable job, plus the camera you used is superb when in focus! Good job lad :)

[astrofishy35]

what are those tools called?

[sinajg]

@astrofishy35 I don't think I've ever heard a special name for it. It's a checkering tool.

[levelninetroll]

*blows into paper bag*

POP!

[blpet96]

that is cool

[esparza8888]

I'd like to see more! That looks like some very tedious work. You should do a howto vid too

[Tittyballz5000]

That looks great! I bought the Dembart master set and I'm just getting around to using it... One question how did you get the outline so nice and straight?

[skateboy159]

i bet that took few hours

[geewok11]

wow that's awesome but how do you do the first lines?

[eagledustoff36]

I have spent many an hour checkering and to get it looking good you have to be alone first of all and in a good relaxed mood otherwise your work will show it. Just remember to be patient and it will turn out good.

[SaVAg3xMInD308]

where do you get those knives from

[Axbent]

@SaVAg3xMInD308 Brownell´s, at brownellsdotcom should be your first stop for gunsmith tools.

[revolverdon]

Where did you get your checkering tools? Thanks.

[mauzerjezakon]

Hey, what kind of knives are you using? can i buy them in europe? or internet? do you have some links? Tnx

[firefighter2551]

I've built a number of custom bench rifles for myself & a few others over the past few years and while they have all come out quite pleasing to the eye (and accurate) I've never had the nerve to try the checkering & engraving myself until lately. Bought a few of the tools recommended by a friend that used to do it some but videos for a beginner are sorta lacking. LOVE to see you do a good video with some voice over tips from the beginning. Looks like fine work you're doing there. Keep it up.

[ammosmith]

For some reason I always...ALWAYS screw this part up and veer off...I can't seem to get it.

[tempestaisback]

holy shit. i cant believe you did that perfect of a job freehand!

[sc00ny]

Been wanting to see footage of this for a while, thanks, great camerawork too

[boboriginal]

i dont know why but i wana do some work like that :|

[kryptoniterxn117]

this is truly an art and requires lots of patient

[jplully]

Nice !

[Fenner1976]

Lovely patient work there. Very nice chequering on that stock. I had the stock and fore-end rechequered on an Italian sidelock I used to own. The restorer did an amazing job of it. Very nice camera you have there as well. I agree...is there a video on the finished result?

[GeneralG1810]

Good quality vid mate but I would like to have seen the end result, dont suppose youve posted it else where have you?

[tfoshohoe]

More video this is amazing

[carnigourousplotting]

is that a BSA Meteor?

[SryImMinimal0815]

where can i get this tools?????

[OneMansSanctuary]

More videos would be nice. I have never seen this done before!

[PIG2285]

wow really makes you appreciate the detail that goes into true handcrafted materials

[ronaldbrashears]

You should of put the whole vid on there!

[0JapanGirl0]

好強呀

[Luskeet12]

Hi Plkracer...

Where did you learn checkring?

Thanks

[holmes1978]

WOW JUST EXCELLENT THATS SKILL !!!

[comunisttanpon]

I agree you have a hand for checkering. You should do a video on stippling a rifle or pistol stock. I just taught myself how to do that today, I think more people would be able to do that.

[Natedaschoolboy]

you sir are an artist lol it looks GREAT

[captainpegs07]

Show us more! How can one use those patterns that are offered for sale? How do you start a straight line??? Tips and tricks?

[redneckgenius]

wow.

[BAmaurer08]

very cool man, im looking to get started making some custom stocks here, just in my spare time, and from what i can tell checkering is pretty easy if you just take your time and be deliberate. whats the finished product look like of this?

[plkracer]

Hey everyone, I never expected this video to get popular. I was trying out the new camera on something that had fine details, and this was it. If you want to see more, let me know!

[pls916]

@plkracer Dude yes do more. what are those chisel's called?

[iacomastro]

@plkracer WE-WANNA-SEE-MORE

[cgspeeddemon1]

@plkracer we want to see more!!! like the results and where and how much the tools were

[otasty]

@plkracer We want to see more! This is really cool to watch. You are great at this man!

[aava1000]

@plkracer YES by all means. love to watch you work. where can i get some tools ?

[PerniciousParadise]

Really neat video, I'd love to see a how-to video using these tools, if you ever get the chance. I can get a feel for the technique of using the tools from this video but I'd love to see how you prep the stock and mark out the pattern, etc.

[Taud]

@plkracer thanks for posting, you have a natural talent for that it seems, i doubt i could make it look so easy

[shady75boy]

beautiful checkering wish we could see the final product

[lilham10809]

wow that was good, i mean holy shit look at how good it looks

[Hvnscent]

I used a power tool with a Fordham motor, but I always had a checkering cradle. I couldn't checker with the stock moving all over the place like this guy.

[RustyNuts123456]

Nice work... a joy to watch.

[Takura4]

That's actually pretty amazing to watch. I think I could watch him for hours doing that in RL, tbh.

[clodester]

a fantastic skill, Im so glad I saw this, I was totally blown away by the consistency of the checkering. I wouldn't be brave enough to scribe those lines freehand onto the actual stock with guides or a straight edge tool or something. Amazing, total art! Thanks

[soixe1997]

what is that tool called, and where do you get it

[Mrcaffinebean]

@soixe1997 checkering tool- Midway USA

[guitars415]

Wow
