1st picture: all in inches.
Scrap piece of treated 2 X 6 X 18
Glued on it, a 1 X 3 X 6 (oak)
On the 1 x 3 X 6, I glued on 1 X 2 X 6 ( oak)
The top two pieces are glued together, 1 X 2 X 6 ( oak)
Clamped them in a vice, & drilled a hole in the center.
Took two ½ inch bolts from the bottom thru all of the wood.
Topped off with a piece of ¼ X 2” X 6” flat steel plate.
All this was scrap I had laying around. I’m a pack rat.
Cost : ??
2nd picture:
My b-i-l is a machinist, & has a garage full of equipment. Said he could improve on my wooden one. Heck, any one could improve on what I make.
Base: ¼ X 2” X 8 “ base
On it is a 4 X 4 X 1 ¼ inch unit which is held together by allen bolts. The center wood inserts can be replaced. he tapered the wood inserts. You can see the allen wrench on the top. As you can see between the two, mine is a “put together”, & the one my b-i-l made is a really nice unit.
The nice thing about the wooden one is when I go to a range to shoot, I take two wood clamps, & I can clamp it “where ever”, even on a plastic table. Changing my three barrels is a snap.
The metal one my b-i-l made , I have to use a vise as the base is to small to get clamps on it, so I usually use it at home.
