I am making a gun stand in wood shop and I have sort of an idea on what it should look like but I still need some help. If anyone has any pictures of a wooden gun stand. Or they sketch one up. I use a mini with a 68/45 if that helps any.

About as simple as it gets:

I just need to know how high to make the barrel part

[gamer565]

As high as you want.

It's your project, take measurements and draw out a plan.

it varys from marker to marker. If i put my Dark freeflow cocker in a stand made for my shocker, it doesnt fit properly

I just put it on a pillow. No design needed.

Unless you plan on making the stand out of plywood you may want to reconsider the material. A wood stand is going to be heavy and not as compact as one made of PVC. Just my 2 cents.

varnished and poly'd plywood would look real nice for a shelf stand

for the front piece i hack a t fitting in half lengthwise. For the "liner" i use pipe insulation

This one is staying at home. It'll be made of oak

Everything will be stained and polyurethaned. Not sure on the stain color yet

overly complex, not the greatest looking.

Be creative and make a nice minimal one out of wood.

Is pillow ok?

nice. really it depends on the color of the marker you put on it. if it's all black, and you use a black cherry stain, it won't look so nice, but if it's silver, it will look **** hot

Should turn out pretty nice then as a home display. GL man.

I was going to recommend looking into the "wrak" adjustable stands if this is going to be for multiple markers but if its a one gun only type stand just take the measurements and build it to fit that puppy like a glove.

or make it adjustable...who knows how long you're actually gonna keep that particular marker...

I was thinking about that like using a pin with a series of holes. But then I realized we don't have the tools to do that. So I figured that when I do get a new gun ill cut down or add to the barrel stand

Put wood at 60 degrees . And a wood on the bottom. Tadaa gun stand
