I use this with my BBB. Cheaper and less complicated than the Tipton vice but not nearly as many features. I like it because I tend to stay away from plastic items when I can get something similar in metal.

Thanks Dave, something to consider. All for the metal as well especially after reading the reviews on the Tipton " Best Vise ".

I use a mtm range box for what you describe.
Store most of my cleaning gear in it so dont find myself hunting for the right sized brushes and patches nearly as often as i used to.

Now that looks very cool! Where did you purchase it and can I ask how much you paid?

That does look interesting. I might just look into getting one. I found one on Amazon.

I got one these a few years ago. They are sold under different name and brands. Usually as a kit.
I searched "Wooden gun cleaning kit".
I use it to clean the barrel and mount scopes.
It stores all my cleaning equipment.

WOW ! I love the look of wood and the drawer at the bottom. Now I'm really confused as to what I want to do. Thank you all so far for all the pics and info. I am certainly not new to guns ( as I do have several ) , just getting back into it as a true hobby at 64 yrs old and my love of woodworking as well. That box IS pretty, and functional. Thanks again for taking the time to share Ojaileveraction !! Retired with plenty of time on my hands.

Not to be a tout, but HRA sells something similar in their official Henry websight products section.
