	I found a photo of a heel and toe plate that caught my eye so decided to cut them out of a one piece butt plate. I made the template out of 1/32 sheet aluminum and used centerlines to line everything up.

	Thanks Bob, this is my first shot at a two piece buttplate, it’s been fun so far; give it a whirl, with your skill it would be a breeze. A couple of more…

	Thanks Skalkaho, thats a smart move getting a pre inlett stock,sure saves a lot of time. Finally got the pieces of the buttplate inletted. Not much of a fun job as i believe my 85 yo eyes are starting to fail me, even with optivisors it was a chore. Of course the highly figured wood gave me fits too. if i trid to take to large a chisel cut small chunks of wood would break out leaving a crater so razor sharp tools a light shaving cut along with a scraper finnaly got it done as you can see. I will have to be really careful shaping the stock as i dont have a full buttplate as a guide. I also left the wood a little proud on the butt for final shaping after the screws are in ...Cheers Richard

	Well the heel and toe plate turned out OK. The wood is still a bit proud of the plates but I’ll address that when the stock is ready for the final sanding and at that time I’ll do the final touches on the metal finish too….I may make a proper fitting screw for the toe plate too as I don’t like the fit of the supplied screw, too much gap showing around the screw.

	That looks great and the screws are even timed! It’s a lot of time consuming work, but worth it. I did a Ballard skeleton buttplate a couple years ago and checkered it , they add a nice touch!
