Windage top plans?

Anyone know of a set of plans for a windage top out there (not necessarly free)

Believe it or not, I've never seen one (NYC is not exactly know as a Meca for Benchrest), but I have a fairly well setup shop, and figure it's be a good project - get some fun in the shop
 
Well, that would work, but be a tad expensive

I spent some time on the phone with Ron Hoehn. Nice guy. He's no longer making his as "Everyone's gone to the Farley", but gave me permission to make at least a semi-clone, and gave me some hints. Spen an hour or 2 in front of the mill the last couple of nights - truing up some "as wrought" 7075 that I have, and a bunch of time with a pencil an paper designing my own (still have 1-2 questions on how they are done 'in real life', but)

I figure with Sunday supposed to be rainy around here, there is a good chance I might finish it this weekend, depending if I can get some 1" 6063 angle delivered (I forgot that 6061 angle has the fillet and round edges - gaah)

Fun shop project anyway
 
Any chance we could see your drawings?

Working on figuring out Alibre Cad - gah - I could have drawn the whole thing with paper and pencil, to scale, on a drafting board, in probably an hour - sigh
 
Most of my better ideas were stolen from somebody else. Please post your drawing.
 
I've got a few pictures of one I made. Its not hard to do really and it works quite well.

Rest top Drawings

KG2V,
This drawing is not complete but it will get you started. I put it on a Caldwell BR100. Can send it in a Word file.

Well, Here is what I have so far - there is no assembly/blow up drawing here, the adjustment screw/knob is missing, as are the 2 slider rods, plus the bag mount, partly because I have not decided if I'm going to use the universal bag I already have, or buy another bag and build a squeeze type top

There are 2 slide plates needed, and 12 UHMW plates - 4 on the bottom of the slider, 4 on each side plate

#10-32 screws not drawn
