Shooting bench

[crowsnest2002]

I was just wondering what you guys thought. I can get spare lumber from work every now and then and decided I wanted to build a shooting bench. I've gotta throw some carriage bolts through it yet to sturdy it up a bit and then I think I'm going to plunk it down at my shooting area. It only really cost me the carriage bolts and screws with a little work of course. Some day I'll get to take it up to the range, just so busy with family, college, and overtime all of the time its crazy.

Not a bad looking bench is the wood pressure treated as if not will not last long out in the weather.

Whether it's treated lumber or not, put some water seal on it and that will definitely help with the long-term durability.

Next time I get to the hardware store I'll look for it. Thanks for the tip guys.

Nice looking bench. How much does it weigh?

I couldnt really tell you, but I can lift it on the bed of my truck by myself.
