    Hey Roy,
    Greetings from DownUnder 🇦🇺 🙃
    This was very 'KISS' .......... Keep It Simple Stupid, Excellent Work!
    If I may offer up a name for your Creation, Roy's Ezy Kiss Rest! 😁
    Also a good old fashioned Bar of Soap will act as a Great Lubricant for any Wood Screws. 😜

    That turned out surprisingly well.
    With a shop like that…I might be tempted to make my wife mad on purpose, just so I could head to the shop.

      I confess I sometimes get lost at the shop … then I get a text around dinner: “Are you coming home?” Sometimes I have to think hard before I answer … Roy

      Hi Jeff! thanks for your kind comment. If you have any ideas as to what you’d like me to make, sing out. Always looking for a new project! 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
      @fmgpubs  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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

    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.

      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

      It’s actually sort of amazing what you can do with it. It fits anything and it’s easy to mout them right side up or inverted, etc. Plus it puts a rest within range of people who don’t have the money to spend on a fancy, store-bought one. Roy

      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.
