DIY rifle cleaning stand

[shovel leaner 7,650]

Got a bit bored today . I have been thinking of getting something to hold the rifles steady when I clean them , but I have always just held them and managed without.

       But with night vision on the rifle and battery’s to change I needed something. I had a root around them shed and found some bits of plywood and set about making a stand . As you can see I’m no carpenter but I’m happy enough with the results and it didn’t take long ( I know it looks like it too ) . 
      It’s 500mm L 220w the front is 340 H and the back 290 the V notches are 110 in depth but the front is about 50mm higher . I also cut up an old leather belt to line the V notches . I fixed it all together with glue and a nail gun .

Nowt wrong with your woodwork SL just the job and I too have been thinking of doing one for ages but didn't because I wanted to make the front support adjustable in height, didn't work out how so it has not been made.
