I Decided I needed to make a Tabletop portable Gun Vice,.. for Flintlock Cleaning Building and Repairs... So I asked for two Wood Clamps for Christmas and using some old Skid Pallet Wood,.. I came up with this design [hmm] . It seems to work very well thmbsup I can Clamp it to my Work bench and I lock the Clamps with Bolts,.. In-case I ever need to do heavy repairs.... This is Defiantly an on the Cheap Project hdslp I like the Rustic look of the Pallet wood.. chrrs
thmbsup Great idea...i have a couple like that ....real handy
Gotta love it! I made one a few years ago using the threaded rods and swivel nuts out of a set of parallel clamps. Effective and cheap! Well done sir. thmbsup
nice ! only thing I`d have done different is gluing a strip of leather on the inside of the clamps to prevent and marring of the stock ! particularly on a finished stock !

beowulf I actually did glue pieces of an old leather belt in the clamp Jaws.... hdslp I Forgot to mention that part...I made it a U shape so if the Rifle slips it can not hit the threads of the Clamps threaded rods. [hmm] And,..It is a good thing I did because the rifle did slip once pnic pnic And the Belt leather is what saved it thmbsup

Very nice - I like the looks and functionality of this ...
Now does anyone have a setup that will work for bench rest shooting to remove the human element when sighting in a rifle? The ones commercially available do not seem suitable for muzzleloaders
This is a bit late but that is a great design. Simple construction and very efficient. Major kudos to you.
I like it! That's quite a nice, heavy duty rest. Mine's not quite so heavy duty but has served well the past 20 years. I bought mine from Cabelas a couple of decades back; didn't cost much then and it's all wood. It works great for cleaning & tinkering but lacks the "gun building" strength of yours. This is the best pic I have of mine; light duty.

I expected your bench to be as disorganized as your mind but it's actually cleaner than my bench. I guess that translates to me being wackier than you. hdslp pnic
