I built this and the plans were exact. He says it cost $120 in 2005, I built it 3 weeks ago and it costs me $121. It is as sturdy as they get. Mine is permanently cemented in the ground, but it is easily portable if you have a friend to help move it. |

well don`t know if this makes any difference to you but,I have used quite a few benches Pdogging over the years and I find that most benches are very very uncomfortable,because they don`t have a Adjustable seat,the adjustable seat is what makes the difference between one that you will use and one that collects dust,some of those bench seats aren`t much better than sitting on a brick.
goodluck |

I've got an old office chair I may use in building one. The only thing is I'll have to go buy a mig welder to build it.
I think it may be too heavy to carry easily so I may put wheels on it like a dolly to move. twister, I tried some at Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday. You're right, they are damned uncomfortable. |

Don't buy one you big dummy. I have one that you are more than welcome to use. |

I'm well aware of the scheme of using work around the place to justify the purchase of new tools/toys. Well played Dan.

what I finally used for years was a old Piano bench and a card table....
wasted LOTS of time and money on shooting benches,let me look around, I think I still have the plans on a lightweight tripod rifle rest thingie that works great with a good old lawn chair. |
