chipped Thumbhole
« on: March 17, 2008, 02:00:24 PM »
First off let me start with yes Im an idiot. I was putting some loctite on the bolt from my camo lame t-hole stocked 35 whelen. It kept loosening up.
I had the bolt started in the reciever. I was turning the stock to save 2 mins . Well the stock hit the reciever . I ended up with a inch long chip. Basicly I peeled up a layer of wood. What I did to fix it was squirted some polurithane under neath the chip & pressed it back together. Let it dry for 4 hours then did a couple thin coats over the top. I gotta take some fine sand paper to it. But it looks OK.
Like I said Im an idiot.  Jay

When I started in the cabinet making business an older carpenter told me "The difference between a professional and an amateur isn't the number of mistakes as much as knowing what to do with them." He also said "Even monkeys fall out of trees." My monkey happens to be retarded from falling out too much. I wanted to add a smiley here but every time I try to it deletes my whole post and I'm not a very good typist.

Uncheck  "Spell check as I type" below the post window and the smileys will work. ;)
