Well I built mine a little over 20 years ago when did they come out with theirs? I didn't copy any thing really, didn't know someone built something like it. That was my own idea.
This is what I use when I'm cleaning my guns. A dowel pin at each end holds it together. If you pull them out it come apart easy for more compact storage.
I hope I didn't copy some ones patent ...................

Caldwell Zeromax

For 30 bucks why build one?
Nope I don't recall seeing that before I built mine. There certainly are some similarity's.

I must be getting old like some others around here cause I just realized I built that metal bench rest more then 30 years ago. How time flies !!!!!!!!!
why only a B - B+ ???????
The small town school I went to didn't have a wood shop.

I took two years of wood shop and still can't hammer a nail or whittle a toothpick.
B? I saw a scratch in the finish...

Your rests...both of 'em...look pretty good to me mate. You musta already sanded out that scratch cause I can't see it.
I like your shooting rest...so much so that I might just have a look at making one similar...it looks much more stable than mine.
Cheers, Vince

There's yer problem...
Quit tryin' to "hammer" nails...
And why bother to whittle a toothpick when you can get a box of 250 for 29 cents?

Took my bench rest out for a shoot today. This is the first time I've used it with the screw attached. It doesn't work so well after-all. The clamp can't hold the rifle level, other than that it's ok, but I'm more comfortable with the rifle on my shoulder anyway. I was trying out the OCW load development from Dan Newberry. I love it, and I love my new .270. I'm going to put some photos in the reloading forum, I have some questions for you kind hairy men.

Well thanks Vince! Would love to know your ideas, I lovem too and just don't have enough of them. I've looked over some old antique stuff to look for screws but mostly the old woodworking clamps (cramps) are all I see with the screws.

Spinning wheels have great threaded wood parts. I have two; the movers broke the part with the hole on one. May try to glue it back together; if it doesn't work, will use your helpful info to make a new one (wheels arn't cheap).
Nice work on the rest! Something like that would help with my .50 Sharps 3 1/4 - it jumps off the shooting-sticks; strapping the barrel down would help practice. Thanks.
Andy.

Just stumbled onto this and man, Suzy, is there nothing you can't do?
Impressive young lady.
