Thanks for the info cranky old man.

The horse bench form I leanrt in Fatsan is village Hung Kuen and was translated as Ng Fu Pai Ah. I only could grasp that it menas five tigers show teeth or something. It s a fairly short form and if anyone has info on it that would be great.

It does not make a difference and if it does modern benches are lighter because of the compressed wood! Learn to adapt your form to the many dimensions and weight so you could be superb in your practice!

heavier weapons are better for practice. who wants to practice with light weapons, unless your doing a demo or soemthing there is no need for them.

the top is 2by 4 at38 inches long. the leg are made out of 1 one half inches square 23 inches long . .start tapering them 5 inches from the top of each leg til the top is round . the tops will be approx 1 inch across.drill holes in the top tapered in so at the top the legs are 3/8ths of a inch apart. angled down to 5 and a 1;4 inches apart.and add a dowel 1/2 inch in dia. 11 and 1/2inches up from the bottom of the leg for added strength . when the legs are put into the holes make a cuttout like on a hammer handle and pound in a wedge. then cut the tops of level with the top of the bench sand and paint or oil. if done right you can fight with it.

if you go to a hardware store and get steel corners to add at the top it will last longer if you do learn to use it against a pole or edged weapon .
