Talking Simple jack

I`ve been pondering the idea of d.i.y a lifting jack for my rig for quite sometime... so, here it is when I found some quality free time( 1-2 hours maybe ) to actually do it, and it turns out ok to my own suprised!

Sorry, I don`t have a step-by-step instructions, but the below pics can have a rough idea of hw it`s simply made using Tamiya 1.2mm plastic ply and some model plastic round tree spur. The main upright of jack is glued with 2 pcs of plastic ply together.











Haven`t really decided where it should stay, so hasn`t made any mounting bracket yet...
