The new Binford 2000 Target Stand!
.
Binford 2000 sounds much more cool than: Target stand from wood & luck... I'm not a woodworker at all, but I was really tired of the "standard" target stand design. And so I started something new... The idea was to have a target stand, which does not only hold a target to the left and to the right, but gives me the opportunity to crack between points! I wanted it to be modular. To use it the "standard" way, that "hit exactly a point" way and to use both arms separate. And that's what I came up, with. At the moment the wood glue is doing it's job. Tomorrow I'll put in the screws and then - at the WB meeting we'll dedicate it.
Here are some pictures - the making of
The first thing you need - a man who looks absolutely like he knows what he's doing.
Why it's me on the pic, then you ask? I had no one else, sorry...
First steps.
Now it starts to look like something.
Do you have an idea where we're going?
Now you should see it
More when it's completed.

Part two...
First - Foam.
And then foam with tape...
Now it looks like this - a nice collar. Any idea, now...?
And more foam...
To make a long story short: This is what it looks like:
The three "collars" mean: Beginner, advanced and very good whip handler.
And here's why:
For the beginner, you use the first collar. The plastic stripe goes out very far.
For the advanced whip handler, the plastic stripe starts under the second collar. It has more stability and is much shorter in the end
For the advanced... Exactly. You start with the third collar. That way you can adjust the targets in a millimeter range; if you like. The targets are totally secured and hold in place, yet adjustable in length without any problem
And so it looks outside. The "usual way for a usual target stand. Two sides, two targets:
Or you separate them. So two folks (or four) can practice the same time from different sides...
And here's the interesting point... If you want to practice to cut a certain point, you turn both parts towards each other and - without moving the wooden plates - you can adjust the space between the plastic stripes. Bigger distance for the beginner, short distance for the advanced and so on.
And here you can see my "old" target stand, together with the new one
And here are the target stands I have in my garden. I think, two or three are missing, but the garden is wide
So - that's it. I hope you enjoyed the pictures, and perhaps you're inspired to start your own project, now!

Wow Robby,
very cool job!
The first picture is funny, but there is just a "little" problem...
The machine "Angle sander" holds a Disk for Stone. Further you hold it the wrong way round
I am curious to see it in real next Weekend
Best,
Ralph

Very cool Robby! With as many stands that you have and a large yard you could set up a training course with stands everywhere. Start at 1 and work your way around the yard hitting targets. Fastest Time Wins!
Here's wishing you find time for the things you want to do, and for the things you need to do.
We see ourselves in our children and hope for a better future.
