Developing a 1 piece stock … Done !
Looking to add some rigidity to the Talon frame I started looking at one piece laminated stocks. Wanting my own signature on the look I have been making scale drawings and have my first piece of wood cut.
I have been wanting a long range hunting rifle with a one piece stock for a long time now … this is what I have so far 🙂

spend spend spend mate it,s always the same .fun tho
last big spend i had was £500 for a few bits off american black walnut
one off the blanks made this stock
You are right on the money too … it takes a lot of labor to build this stuff and make it right … and if I charged 10 dollars an hour for my labor the costs on a set of grips would be around 300 bucks.
So I look at it as furthering my hobby and think that $ 125.00 for a 2 piece set is fair. I’m gonna have to complete a 1 piece before I think about pricing on those … have to see what all I need to buy first 🙄
ye i upgraded a few things but after the woods and stuff started to right up in price the stocks price,s need to go up but i cany put myself to do it
as i always say it,s only a hobby so chargeing alot ain,t right
I guess it’s all part of paying our dues lol’s … I’m looking to upgrade all of my scopes and pick up some pellet money .. but I am going to have to invest in the machines if I wanna play 😆
i know what u meen mate . i first started to make grips ad stuff i now make more full stock and i,ll need to dip into the bank again soon for a bigger bandsaw the first one i bought just won,t cope with 3″ walnuts
That’s good news .. it looked well built and has computerized stability control .. mine shakes some on thick cuts causing me more work in the finishing process.
I don’t mind buying tools .. I HATE having to buy them AGAIN 😆
Yep-
I went to the wood show about 3 years ago looking for a Power-matic.
Ended up with the Jet 17″ saw just like this one, but an inch smaller 😥

$700.00 out the door.
Too bad I have not the room for it, that is til I move 😉 😉
The Delta line is not that bad at all, and you will be happy with it for sure.
I would bet that Delta and Powematic would be a pretty close call.

Whew a grand for that sucker … can’t do that this month …. might have to lean on that Delta 😆
Thanks Saw !
I’ll take a look at those ! I like to buy quality when I can …
king pin,
I have a 17″jet, got it at the wood show, what I really wanted was the power-matic 14″.
They are sweet 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Probablly 1.5 times the Delta, but worth it.
If you really want a good tool the Laguna line is the rats ass 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

This one piece has a ways to go and I am going to have to upgrade my bandsaw from a 9 inch to a 14 inch before I can finish it.
I went over and looked at a new Delta with a 6.25 inch throat clearance this afternoon … 3/4 hp .. want to read the online reviews first … if it’s a good one then this project will move along rather quickly 🙂
totally awesome stocks. when can we place an order. 😀 🙂 😆
There ya go ! Make some drawings using your rifle for measurements and then transfer that to wood and get to hacking away at it 😀
Looks great so far. I think I may have a go at one my self if i ever get the time.
