Had a problem with the height of my shooting stool staying constant. Went to home depot and bought some pipe nipples in 1-4" lengths to adjust the height of the stool to fit the bench height.
The heck with the thumbscrews.
I remember Steve when I lived in Los Angeles and shooting at Fish Canyon.
I remember him and his passionate talks with Joe Wagner and others made the days there very interesting.
May he Rest in Peace.
