    Good point. I'll keep that in mind for my next short one.

    Thanks A.S., I'm going to have to try one of these myself.

    I told my wife that drill press would come in handy for me... lol

    You're welcome.
    I don't have a drill press, or I would have used it for my stabilizers. A drill press will be a great help for you.

    Nicely done A.S. I think I may have to make one of these, even if its just because now I can
    My wife packed my bags and threw me out, as I was walking out the door, she told me "I hope you have a long and miserable life!"... To which I replied "Oh, now you want me to stay?!" LOL

    Thanks wabbit. I'll have to post pics of the finished stab from that video, as well as another stab I made for my sister.

    You can put rubber on the outside or inside for dampening. Another guy used rubber undercoat spray and then painted it.
    My long stab and one of the short ones has a piece of rubber hose on the inside over the front bolt.
