And instead of pushing the keys down you lift them with a hook!!!!  :clap: :clap:  :clap:

Powder Keg:
I've spent some time with a wood rasp on the grips.







I am going to inlet the hand guard before I go any farther. I need to shape it some more. I shortened the grip about a half inch also. It feels and looks better I think.

Jonny:
I would have headed it up and inletted before any shaping.
Square edges easier to hold in block format and you can hack way with little fear of the American Black breaking.
The inside of the grip and shape is determined where the inletted guard lies!

Not much to file off there used to have to do it in tool and spring steels to microns. :coffee:

Finished job, the wood should be slightly proud of the action.

Powder Keg:
I have managed to get the hand guard inleted. I used hand tools for the hole thing. Mainly an old pocket knife.



Here it all is propped up and ready for welding. I tacked it into place, removed the wood, then TIG welded the hand guard into place.



All welded up\o/



Now I can file the frame to shape.
