Quick and dirty project

After shooting the recurve today w the target on the ground, it was time to take (make) a stand.

1) light/minimalist/ few
Parts but sturdy
2) durable/weather- able
3) quick setup

I have a bunch of titanium rod kicking around. I haven’t used a piece in the 10 years it has been sitting there.

So 1/2 x6’ piece cut in 2, sharpened and 5” bend at one end.

Stick it in sides of target and lean on target to set.

Worked perfect for what I needed.

I never would of thought of a 3 wheeler as a machine to move snow!!!!
I've owned two of those over the years. Fun, but... "Squirrely" is an understatement...

I guess I like riding squirrel!

I prefer them, have to use your body like a bike.

There will likely be another in the stable in the next day or 2. Stay tuned

I don''t have a work bench to put a 500# vise, let alone know what I would use it for. Though I know you do. Jon

It is a bit of an upgrade from my 200??lb Peter wright

I think I posted the redone stand, if not, here it is 2”lamanated oak top over 3/8 plate. It did well for the 200 lb. I liked the patina so I just clear coated the base. I will have to affix it somehow once I see how loud it “rings”

Spare titanium (unobtanium), that is a good but unusual item to have around.
