Construction 4

The I-shaped frame and crossmembers came next, followed by mounting the screwdrivers and then working out how to make the pusher mechanism.

The pusher wedges are made from solid oak. The front handle is made from another piece of pine and a section of broom handle. I relocated the screwdriver switches to the central handle, so all the controls can be operated with one hand. The tripod mount, or pintle, consists of a yoke into which the gun sits, which in turn is clamped into the top of a Miranda Pro-Video 1 tripod. The whole thing allows +/- 30 degrees of elevation and a full 360 degrees of rotation.

And that's how it was done!
