Thanks Dale, that’s interesting about the drill press. My dad used his foredom for checkering gunstocks mainly. Has a little saw gizmo that attaches to run the lines with then finish with hand tools. I’ll have to look see if he has a foredom drill press.

Nice job especially for your first attempt!
I have a Foredom drill press I often use when inletting a shield. It helps prevent the bur from 'walking.' I usually finish it freehand, but remove most of the material with the dill press.
Very nice work!
Sorry for the late reply Dale but thank you for the praise and info you gave me on the foredom!
