Something to shoot on.

[BluDeuce]

Here is my home made shooting bench or tornado shelter....

 

[Dead Duck]

Whats with the pick-up rings on the lower horizontal and the D-ring at the rear.

And in the first picture, do you have a welding shop in your garage? Jealous...

That is one Heavy Duty table.

 

[MTubbs1]

That is interesting!

Hang in there, I am sure you will make it to fifty!

 

[BluDeuce]

Well I put the pick up rings on to help move it around with a overhead crane. (It's heavy) and the D ring is to drag it around my yard with my tractor. I made the steel frame at work. Then finished up with the decking at home.

Now all you need is a concrete pad to set it on.

 

[BluDeuce]

Yeah the pad would be nice. The reason I made this so heavy was so it would sit still on my grass. It should sink down a little this summer.

 

[HandK]

That is realy nice! Congrats!

 

[hANNAbONE]

I like it...a lot. With its heft though, I'd be more inclined to set it and forget it. How much time did you have in it? It looks like it'll survive Armageddon too. Nice job.

 

[kc9bpo]

Beautiful. Very nice.

 

[BluDeuce]

I would say about 4 hrs on the frame and around a hr or so on the wood top.


Thanks

 

[sartwell]

Looks great. I'll take 2.

If stop shooting you could always use it to rebuild engines.

Probably so he can use a loader to move it. It has to be heavy. I would have done the same thing so I could just snatch it up and move it into place.

 

[BluDeuce]

Yeah I had to use my tractor with a loader to get it out of my truck. The main post are 4x4 sq tube 3/8 thick. The top frame is 2x2x 3/16 angle. It's close to 500lbs

 

[Nayls47]

It'll be here long after we're gone.

 

[SpyderRick]

Very nice. Looks like you could sell a few of those but I am sure shipping would be a factor.

 

[Panama]

That is NICE!

If you ever decide to build and sell them, I suggest pricing them BY THE POUND!

 

[BluDeuce]

It works! Might get some patio blocks to level it out.

 

[db1959]

tried to rep you but I am all out. That is one sweet bench!

 

[Lunati]

Nice work and welds! Wish I had a back yard like you do...
