The next week he asks me to look at it. He states proudly "I ported it!".

He sure did. On his drill press complete with marks where the drill ran off because he's never heard of a center punch. None of the jagged holes were in line with each other or at the same angle.

The best part may have been the deep marks in the stock from the vise jaws.

I was speechless. It's his property and he can destroy it if he wants but honestly had I known his plan I wouldn't have sold it to him.
