Support Machinest Jack
Supporting a long barrel or stock on a drill press or small mill can be challenging. Drilling for pins or lock bolts for those of us that use such equipment, a little outboard support can be helpfull. I was tired of stacking wooden shims. Decided to make a support jack with double screw thread adjustment.
A before shot.

Much better than my idea of tying Helium balloons to the lengthy piece.

John, you must have a small sizzor jack, but if it works it works!
Craig now that is being inventive! I would think my lights would get in the way. 🤣

Nice little jack, but what really caught my eye was the plywood covering the worktable. I can see all kinds of ways that could be useful when fastened down.

Baltic birch. Nice and stable and protects the table from me being clumsy. Just a small wood lug glued on the bottom to fit the t slot and good to go.
