I used to do my own but have moved away from the pillars. Now I just use glass bedding compound around the forend holes. I use 4 to 5 layers of electrical tape on either side of the holes to free float the barrel, apply a small amount of the bedding compound around the forend holes. Make sure you apply a generous amount of release agent to the barrel and forend screws. Screw the forend down and let it set overnight. Pop the forend loose the next day and remove the tape and you should have a free floated barrel.
