The Czickness XXXV.....Masks masks masks....Arrgh

[patience0830]

Apparently I'm getting too old and weak to move my "portable" shooting bench around so I decided to rebuild it with a lighter table top. Changed from a 1.75" solid core door top to one made with 3/4" plywood reinforced with poplar on the bottom. Dropped the weight by 28 lbs and kept the steadiness of the original.

Finished it this morning.

Looks real solid, Reed. Cut a handle into the long edge and it's easier to carry.

Those look nice gm & Rook. Here's mine...

HAHA! That's the heaviest one yet! That also took the longest to make

You need to level the top a shade, but i bet it doesn't move much.

I'm starting to think that you're not a rookie at all! Very cool!

Looks nice!
When you find yourself looking to make one out of Balsa wood then I would just go with RR's rig. I'm not sure if he has gotten a patent on it or not though.

You guys just got me to finally order a portable shooting table. Been wanting one for a while, as I plan to take it to a buddy's house for a little .22 action soon, but had been procrastinating.

You get some tree seeds in the mail with instructions to plant and wait 25 years, saw down and enjoy shooting safely.

Figured I wouldn't wait. This seemed to fit my needs:

Let us know what you think of it. Although I didn't think it would be as steady as I wanted, I strongly considered that one for the ease of moving it. My other problem was it is too much lower than the handrails on my deck, but that won't be a problem for you.

I'm hopeful that it'll do the job.

I like the bench at 0830's rifle range ....it probably weighs 600 lbs. !
Maybe he'll adopt me ?

Retirement photo.
At the cabin.....been doing some nature photography, and playing guitar on the deck. Decided it was time to clean the new revolver.
If these pursuits wear me down, I'll just head to the hammock !

It is a pretty nice table, and sturdy.
