I have started inletting the stock as you will see I have 2 stocks I am making since their is some set ups such as routeing out groves and barrel groves while I have the router set up I can make the same cuts on a 2nd stock. You will notice that I keep ny stock blank in a square form this is so I can clamp it to a fence to wirk eayser also It allowes me to clamp it to the factory stock so I can transfer the cuts I need to make from the original stock I have also made the extension table on my table saw into a table router this gives me a a(rip fence ) guide for cutting groves. See the picturies.

Timmy one of thew reasons I am putting pictures in this is to help a fellow carpenter so I can share how I do the inleting work and shaping of a stock . Maybe what I am doing will help someone else in their effort, you know as well as I do it's all in the planning and getting things in the right order of or some times you can't go to the next steap if you cut away the wood you need as a guide to make a cut. I have built a router table as part of my table saw so I can use the rip fence as a guide for routing , I mark the both sides of the cutter on the table so I know there it is and then mark the stock so I know where the cut is to end since I can't see the blade. using multable cut's you will be able to get the depth you need for the action. Why don't you give me a call we can talk over some of the work Howie ( 727-345-8356 )

Howie,
As a hack woodworker I am always in awe of the work you and Timmy do. I have a builder's license and built my own house so I don't consider myself a slouch but I have not mastered the art of stock crafting. I'll leave that to the artisans here on the board!
Great work and yes, thank you for sharing your secrets. The sign of a true craftsman is his willingness to share the tricks of the trade! Kudos.
