I LOVE rainy days,,,, I got out of bridge building detail & have been in Me shop workin on Yer stock!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif)The new riser blocks Ya helped me design are working like a champ!! If you have started production on em thats ok but,,, I think they need to be 1 3/8" or longer. Also,, I found that safety pin we were looking for. After looking at it you are MOST certainly gonna need it,, I will get it in the mail to Ya ASAP. Now comes the fun part,, all I gotta do now is get the blocks & risers epoxyed in place & I can start shaping her up for Ya Buddy!!!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)I think some MAJOR sawdust will be flying a little later today!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif)One Ambi fully adjustable Marauder stock comming up!! (Complete with the 14 3/4" LOP we discussed)(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)Ok,, back out to the shop now,, I aint gettin nuthin done flappin Me gums!! LOL!! Tim.

Timbo:
Is your stock work influenced by Picasso's Cubism art form? Good looking stock, so far . . .
Seriously, you might want to think about leaving the underside of the forearm flat to facilitate Gene's habit of shooting off a rest -- like a benchrest stock. Whaddya think, Gene?

I got sumthin differant in mind for your stock Tommy. If indeed yours is #001 I aint taking no saw to that stock!! I will mount it up in my new duplicator & carve Ya out a new "Leftie" for Ya!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)Sorry Bro,,, I aint touching that stock of yours till Me new wood duplicator gets here!! Thanks for trusting me Buddy,,,,,,, Tim.

Hey Timbo, If you ever need a pro to help you out with some wooden barrel bands, you know I'm your man.
Looking great buddy. I will wait till your busy latter and give ya a call.

Outstanding work Timmy, throw some beauty curves on it and she'll be a knockout. :) Ed

I'm a little late getting through all of the mail and posts. Solly.
Looks like it's shaping up pretty gud.... a bit boxy but that's ok. The edges will wear down over time....lol...
Don't need the safety cuz I have already milled out a new one for it.
I haven't started machining the parts yet so give me some final numbers and I'll get started. Call me if you get the time and if you can find your phone in the piles of sawdust.

Being holed up in Me lil "Shop" today I had to keep commin out in the rain to check to see if any of Me old partners were sneakin up on me to lock me up. Gotta tell Ya Folks,,, Im havin more fun than the law allows with this stuff!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif) I finally got to doing some of the ROUGH shaping on Marauder stock 001 for Me Buddy Mr Bob today. Dad always tought me,, you can take wood off Son but Ya cant put it back on!! Im REALLY takin Me time on this one. Im making all Me rough cuts way over sized so I can shape em by hand for final shape. She is shaping up nicely & the grain patterns in this walnut are looking even better now that the curves are being cut!! (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif) It may take me a few more days to get this one just right. I really want it to be extra special for Bob,,,,,,, I also want to put it in my new wood duplicator machine when it gets here to sell some of em!! LOL!! Was a fun day,,, Im beat. Timbo.

Thanks Pops for the kind words!! You & Bob have been a HUGE help to me not only from moral support but financially as well!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)Im REALLY takin Me time on Marauder 001 to get it right. I can think of no better HONOR than to hand over 001 to Bob!! Im pretty sure some "Sawdust" will be in Me eyes on that day!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cry.gif) Of course,,, with Me new wood duplicator machine on the way to me,,,,, you can have a Marauder stock just like Bobs!! Of course,,, it is gonna take me almost an hour to make it!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif)LOL!! You will get one just like Bobs soon Pops,,,,, well,,, it will be shaped almost the same to within .005"!!(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)LOL!!

Timmy catch up with your orders son and I will be looking for one from you next year. I have a special request on mine..:) So it will just wait.

Timmy:
Same here, buddy. I guess I will just have to suffer and see if there isn't something laying around the shanty that I can still shoot while I am waiting for your handiwork. Art and craftsmanship can't be hurried.
