Made this cleaning stand today

Copper's been building up in the bore of my 700. I use ammonia to dissolve the copper, so I can't do it inside because of the strong smell. After the first few hours, holding the barreled action by hand can become quite tiring, so today I took a few minutes to whip up a little stand that hangs over my basement door's block wall.

I just used some scrap 12mm plywood, a piece of maple, and a piece of clear pine, and I didn't really worry about squareness. It's just held together with screws right now. I will probably go back and glue the boards together as well. I drilled the holes such that the scope mounts don't take any of the rifle's weight.
