Leather covered pad

[Kevin McCormack]

Very nice! I'm curious how you effected the "Purdey roll" (the fine line scribed into the leather covering around the juncture of the pad with the stock). Rich Cole had a great video on YouTube of his rig (a soldering iron fixed in a jig on his vise sears the line in as he rotates the pad the radius of the stock). I use(d) a more primitive method of a creasing iron heated over a candle rest and used a straightedge to scribe the line freehand - hairy but effective and nicely finished!
