Brian,
After you got your basic pattern from the Trojan and you shaped down the pistol grip, tell us more about the rasping steps. What number/type of rasp did you start with and finish with before you starded sanding. If I am using the incorrect wood working terminology please correct me. |

My favorate tool is just one of those hobby rasps. It is flat on one side and curves on the other side. One end has a course rasp and the other end is a finer file. I got it from Sears, but they can be found many places. I have other files and rasps that I use as well, but I find this one to be my go-to tool for shaping. The rasp is good for hogging away the wood and the file is enough to smooth out the heavy scrapes, or remove small amounts of wood. Then I work with sandpapers. Scrapers do work well also.
I have every intent to closely document one of my stock jobs and post a full tutorial on it.

Thanks Brian we will all look forward to the tutorial. I actually have the two of the four in one files. Between the four-in-ones and several other files I inherited from my father in law I should have everything I need for my upcomming project. I also have a practice stock to experiment on before I get started.
Can't wait to see the checkering on your GH. |
