My old bow press setup that I've used for 10 or 15 years:
Attached File My new archery service area is smaller than my old one, so I needed to make my bow press stand a little more compact: Attached File ETA: I kinda jacked up my first try at the braces, so they're a little more refined in the next pics. The new stand used an old steel table frame that I had laying around. In the end, I 'm not sure that I gained that much in the smaller footprint department, but now my presses are on a cart with wheels, so I can at least easily roll it up against a wall. I also freed up a good, heavy set of sawhorses. Finished product: Attached File Attached File |
