Received this from member mmppres, it was in his latest haul of goodies. Although it's not an original it isn't firewood anymore.

As always thanks for looking.
Nice and clean after. Well done.
Very nice job. Always enjoy seeing pics of completely broken stocks being rebuilt well.
Can say with 100% honesty Jeffs work looks way better in person. If you need some thing repaired an do not have the time throw the brother some work..
I can not wait to see an feel it. It goes to show that you can with time repair almost any thing
Good to know. :thup::thup:Quote:

Very well done indeed - mind me asking, how did you line up the holes for the pins so perfectly? Or did you oversize the holes to allow for error?
On this one I used lines drawn on the side of the two halves together with a straight edge as a guide and eye balled the center when I drilled it. Yes, you need a little slop to allow any extra glue/epoxy to escape the hole and it helps if you were a little off drilling, sure.Quote:

Thanks for these tips, much appreciated!
