Do any of you guys build any of your gear? If you do, what? Im thinking of building a bipod

here is a site that hasa great bipod, and it is a really cool website to check out. http://www.varmintal.com/abifu.htm

I plan to make one in the next few weeks.

Anyone else have anything, i need some stuff to keep me occupied as well

Yeah thats the bipod I was going to make, I' also thinking of making the tripod on that page, but making a turret that turns a full 360 degrees, what do you think?

I built most all of my stands and a couple of game hangers (one for each place).

I have made a portable blind and a folding seat with swivel seat as well. The blind worked out great, but the seat ended up being a bit too heavy to be of any use hunting, so just stays around camp for a seat.

I make my own rifle rest for a tree stand. Works great . attaches to the tree with a strap like your tree stand goes all the way around you and in fron of you like a box. and you can use it as an arm rest.

Mike Hill, I made a similar rifle rest out of a camera tree support. It has a mount, with "teeth" and a strap. I simply added a 3' section of aluminum bar and then wrapped it with padding and camo tape. It looks ok, but have not yet tried it out.

I have not made a bow since I was about 10 yrs old and it was made out of birchwood! Not very good quality!

I bet your bows are much better made.
