Title: Multi-purpose cutting stands
Post by: Sir James A on 2014-09-20, 22:00:30
Some quick photos of a new style cutting stand I made. Had some materials on hand that have been sitting around, and decided I'd make myself a stand. Made a couple extra, because, well why not?

All 3 are the same. The "lower" part of the stand has a hole in it that can use: (1) a spiked peg for tatami / pool noodles, (2) a flat platform to place milk jugs, water bottles, evil cabbages, etc., or (3) an add-on piece to raise the height of the stand, which also has a hole in top and can use the spiked peg or platform as well.

Basic measurements:

Overview. I turned the extension piece on the one in the middle so it's easy to see where it joins.

The little platform and the bottom peg piece. This one is a little shorter, I made the other few slightly longer since I had enough leftover dowel rod.

Now for the fun part.... place spike / platform, put stuff on it, get swords, and cut things!! :D

Awesome! Those will be great.

The one I have, is really only meant for the foam targets. It uses a peg, on top of a steel pipe.

I get whatever I can find in the yard. And try to do stuff with that.
