He has forty years of experiece doing it, so I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. He does do a beautiful stock though.

Couple different cut safe-edge files would whip that right out. That disc sander thing sounds a lot like the beginning of the cheekpiece removal.

I can understand why you'd fair and finish with files or floats. jack

Much easier to control depth using a rasp and file. In reality you are not removing much material to create a shadow line. If you are working towards keeping a stock a certain dimension, I will opt for the slower safer method anytime.
