Multi-purpose cutting stands

(1/2) > >>

Sir James A:
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
Photos:


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

Sir Nate:
Awesome!

Sir Edward:

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.

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

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