Id be keen to give it a go

I have a Radar Carve Stock Duplicator, it takes me about 4 hours to setup and inlet a stock which is quite rough, I then attack it with a Dremmel and sandpaper.
There is possibly another 2-4 manhours to finish it. Given drying times for stock finishes etc. I usually allow about a week per stock, however people with better technique and patience than me would do it a lot quicker, I find I have to walk away at times and go shooting or do the Wifey " I need this done now" shit. I know of a guy in Oz who uses a Dremmel from start to finish and does an excellent job, a few chisels and typical wood working tools are probably all that is needed for someone with the skills ( which I don't have). PM me your email address and I will send you some photos of the ones I have done and the cockups I have made
