joepineapples Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Been drooling over new Bipods lately (Damn you Breacher and your beautiful Phoenix!) but a house bash is sucking up pennies like crazy so can't be splashing out too much at the moment which led to the following creature inspired by The Shed's Stop the Hop article Ta much for the inspiration! Armed with a disc cutter, drill and a piece of 6mm T6 plate a mate chopped for me we've ended up with this thing Total costs so far are a couple of beers for the plate, although I need to buy some longer nuts and a tin of spray, so twenty odd quid. It's still making me chuckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepineapples Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Bit of paint and some sun. It feels pretty stable so fingers crossed! Sorry if pics aren't that good, they were shrunk to fit with a phone app, but should give a good idea of it. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hehe, good job there and nice to see my article provided some inspiration. I have spikes on the bottom of the legs these days and I keep meaning to Tig mine up and get rid of the screws once and for all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepineapples Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes Sir, it was all your fault:-) I've got your spikes article and may try them next if brother will lend me his lathe, but not got an awful lot of time to play at the moment. By the way, if anyone wants one of the T6 plates to make a frankenpod with I've got a spare - you can drop me a pm so you don't get any unwanted attention from Mr.Bradley ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I like it, fair play to you for having the bottle to have a go and making the first cut, and it looks a pretty weighty set up I will keep an eye out for it at Bisley. Rgds Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
