When Joe and Jerm came down to hunt this week, I told them that once all the hunting was done, I was going to put them to work helping me build my new shooting bench. And they did.

I still need to add some shelves underneath and smooth the edges. Then, clean the metal and paint it. But, I couldn’t have done this much without their help.

Joe was gracious enough to help me finish my shooting bench this trip!!

Got the shelf added. Edges and corners ground. Ready for sanding and painting!!
Sucker is a tank of a bench!! Solid as a rock, but still man portable…….with two or three people.

Looks less sharp from here, what color will it be, "not pink"?
Smoothed all the edges and tipped the corners
I’ll see what colors are optional. Don’t want dark on top so it doesn’t get as hot in the sun. Frame doesn’t matter as much.

I would weld a 1'' nut to the top of the leg adjusters. Then they could be adjusted with your cordless impact driver.........
That’s pretty smart!

Add work to the bench only to have to carry a tool that you don’t need because you can have the bench leveled in seconds with the T handles?
No.

No.
I thought the same thing. But, it was a creative idea. I gave props.
But, I agree. And once in place at my barn, it’s easy to level and leave.
