ideas for a gun building support?

[Justin Urbantas]

I just put my gun bench together at my new house, and I'm getting ready to start my next project, a little 11 ga blunderbuss.
I'm looking for ideas for adjustable stands to support one end of a gun while the other is in the vise.
What do you folks use?
Thanks

I have a "T" made from 2x4 lumber. Base is 10" long and upright is about the same. The top of the upright has a gentle U or V shape cut into that has boat carpet glued in. Works great at holding the end opposite the vice.

Mine is about like Pearl Drum's, but a flat top, covered in leather.  Support adjusts vertically, locked with a knob.

you can use a camera tripod fit a board to the screw and pad it work till you build a better one

I've been using one of these cheap work supports that was already in the shop. It's cheap, has adjustable height, good width and folds up when I don't need it.  I just tie wrapped some foam to the roller and it seems to work well.

 i made a 12 inch long  1 x 6 base with a 4 inch piece of  1 x 3 flat down in the center, 2 10 inch 1 x 2 uprights with  4   3/8 ths holes drilled thru from the top down  about an inch apart with a  3/8 dowel to adjust the height as needed. this is for bench use.

I made mine out of some old Microphone Stands.

I used this wood roller stand from Grizzly. I removed the roller and replaced it with a piece of 4x4 wood that I tacked some leather on. It is a little heavier than I wanted but it is very stable.

I use a pair of Pana-vices. No untimely movement with these.

I use a 4 legged wooden stool with a small plastic 3 drawer cabinet taped to the top of it. Drawer is full of tools, so it has some weight.
Added some strips of wood to the edges of the top of the cabinet, to make a tray, and put an old dishtowel over it. It's a good place to lay chisels.
In the tray I also have a wedge of split firewood, cut to fit, with a dished out section on the top edge for the rifle to lay in. That brings it to working height. One benefit of the stool as the base is that my feet can go under it when I am working with something there.

It's dog ugly. When I first did this it was just "temporary", until I could get around to making a "proper" support. But I've used it so long now that I've come to appreciate the utility of it, and long since become accustomed to the ugliness. (I suspect my wife might say the same about me! )

I bolted a piece of 4x4 to my workbench at an appropriate distance from the vise, taped a towel around it, and was completely satisfied with it, even though it is less adjustable than ideal.
