Wolfdog91 6,919 Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Got sick or trying to do load development off the tripod so decided to try and make a shooting bench. Generally hate shooting off a bench and prefer prone....but then I realized it's because most benches aren't made for people as short as me so after some measuring $100 with of woods screws a new saw blade ...think it came out half way decent. Wold have been a bit quicker if I didn't put the legs on the wrong way at first , and I had to cut 3" off the legs because it was till to high...Metal work and welding is more my thing but 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 7,957 Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 I wish I was handy. I could have saved myself thousands. The Mrs insists I don' t even try anything now and calls the local handyman. My brain just isn't equipped for that type of stuff. At school I could read really well and was good athletically, but hopeless at craft work or Art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big rowie 187 Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Good crack at it for not being a carpenter. A cross beam in it and be sturdy as. I tend to find I'm too tall and have to make it myself all part of the fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
