Would a Stock and Grip making tutorial be available
I would really like to see you wood experts put a tutorial together highlighting the various designs and tools used along the way.
It is an overwhelming project in my mind and so cannot get my head around starting.
Sure would appreciate some hints and pics 🙂
TIA
Walter….

Practice, there is no quick way of doing them. I started with rasps and files. But have bought tools to make things faster.
1. Design: i use a drawn up template either of paper or thin plywood/ masonite/ shower board.
2. rough out: i have used a band saw, jig saw, and table saw to rough the piece out.
3. inletting: for me is done on the table saw 1/2″Wx5/8″D for the trigger mech housing and 1/2″Wx 3/16″D for the foregrip. Depending on the foregrip design mine is usually stepped from the trigger mech housing to the rail. A router with straight cutting bit will work as well. I’ve used the same bit in a drill press to square the step up, after cutting it on the table saw.
4. Shaping: i first started with rasps, files, pvc tubing cut to 2″L and wrapped with sand paper. I have since purchased a drum sanding kit which works nice. I do alot of shaping with a drill and the drums now instead of the rasps and files. Bandsaw and Table saw are still used in this stage to create bevels, miters for the foregrips.
5. finishing consists of sanding alot by hand up to 320g i use the drums, random orbital sander as much as possible.
Next piece i start i’ll try to do a post with pics on the topic. Its been a lot of trial and error for me. I’m just starting to get comfortable at doing them and i’ve done a few sets now and couple of stocks. Some still in the finishing stages.
