I've tried my hand at grind to fit buttpads and such - not for the novice. Mine didn't turn out well.

Actually, it doesn't take much expertise or skill (demeaning myself as a stockmaker
), just the "right tools for the job", like anything else.
A recoil pad jig from Miles Gilbert or similar, and a benchtop belt sander to keep it all at 90 degrees. The jig sets the comb and toe angles of the pad to match the stock lines. It's a simple process, for anyone that wants to DIY their recoil pad I recommend getting the jig. For about $50, it will pay for itself in one use as opposed to having a gunsmith fit a new pad.
