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:
- 35" tall overall
- main post: 27" base + 8" elevation add-on, 4x4 post (3 1/2" x 3 1/2")
- roughly 10" long feet, 2x4 lumber (1 1/2" x 3 1/2")
- 1" holes for spikes / platform
Assembly:
- Two screws per leg.
- Each leg butts against the other for stability.
- Drill holes for pegs (3)
- Cut little platform (6"x6" is what size I did)
- Cut small peg that goes on the bottom of platform and screw together

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!

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.

Nice job, Sir James - I like them/it.

how much for the blackened thumb?
