Third hand

Autumnarcher · February 19, 2010, 11:17:00 PM

I will be sure to show your pic to my wife. She always gives me a hard time about my "busy" workbench, she doesnt understand that with all the tools and gadgets, we know exactly where everything is!

That is a great idea, and I really like the one for doing servings. I'll add this idea to the project list.

Jerry & Ric,
I saw the post on home made ideas and I think Ric was the first one I saw last week and now Jerry's...This is a really good idea and one of my next projects for my shop...Thank you both for posting them and it is a great way to do the serving and puffs or whatever...Please if anyone else has any can you post them before I make mine? Good job to you both

Here's proof that you don't have to be handsome to be handy! There are some of course who are just the opposite.. not very handy but handsome!!

Nice job Jerry!!
God bless,Mudd

The best part of it is you don't have to clean your work bench. You just elevate what your working on above the mess. :p Chad

I combined Gray Buffalo's design with Admin's post of Flemish String jig into a take down version.

DVSHUNTER · February 23, 2010, 09:58:00 AM

that's nice jerry. Now you need one to hold a stave down for you. :-)

Guru · February 23, 2010, 10:35:00 AM

Wow, I just saw this...very cool Jerry!! Thanx for sharing your idea....I'll make one for sure...

Got mine built yesterday and heading over a friends house today to play around with it! I made mine 24" center to center due to some of the fadeouts on some of my bows and I added a forth hole for the wider limb recurves and all ya need to do is move one peg...Instead of the wood dowels or leftover 11/32 shafts I used some cut off 1916 and 2016 aluminum shafts as my pegs...I was very careful of drilling through the 3/4 and keeping the bit straight so the pegs wouldn't lean inward..Also make sure you keep about 2" between the posts if you add leather or felt around the post cause some bows have some wide limbs...This is one simple project we all must make...Thanks guys for this idea..
