Hey Cowboy, do you get much shooting in there? Roy

I wish you had made this years ago. I'm so tired of leaning my guns against the workbench when I clean them. I already have the scrap laying around in my garage. In 10 minutes I'll be done. Thanks Roy!

Very well done, Roy! Nice to spend time with you in your shop, and thanks for the permission to not overthink a project and just get'er done.

Great looking truck,,,,love the color,,,, Rack need one option, a cup rack,,,,,cheap clamps at Harbor Freight will work great…..I enjoy these projects …. I use two handle wooden wood clamps to work on my handguns,,,very stable when adding a rail or red dot….. Thanks for sharing

Ha! Great idea on the cup holder. That’s fancy. Agree any cheap wood clamp would work fine. This is almost a “no cost” rack. Roy

Nice project it looks to be just as effective as my polymer MTM rest. As to the Renchero …. Were you as disappointed in Ford as I was when they put the Maverick moniker on their new mini-pickup instead of going back with Ranchero? I always liked the early Rancheros they were neat compact trucks. Later when based on the Torino they got to be a bit huge. 6ft hood and 6ft bed with a bench seat in the middle😮. What you have is a nice little truck!

@fmgpubs 11 ай бұрын

Hi Randall, I know what you mean about the Maverick. Huh? What? It’s like S&W calling their auto pistol (the .22 they introduced a few years ago) the Victory Model. Yikes …. I just drove the Ranchero yesterday, AC going full blast here! Roy

So I totally used your idea I vinyl covered the gun rests and I applied foam to the underside so as to not scuff my table probably should have made the rests closer would love to send a picture to ya not sure how

Not really made for zeroing, although you could use the front bit as a rifle rest, but the rear piece would be in the way. This is just to hold the gun to clean it and work on it. Roy

Instead of wax gasket you can also use bar soap (borrowed from a hotel) or any candle the wife tries to burn in the house. Bonus with the candle is that your gun vise smells like Holiday Gingerbread Pumpkin Spice.

@vr6g608 Ай бұрын

How difficult is it to see 2 pieces of wood nailed to a baseboard, with the front one having a v cut for the barrel and the back one is c clamped to the stock gale? Do you need to be taught how to make this yourself? If you need an instruction manual for something this simple you don’t have any business handling firearms.
