Hello @Simplemann
That is a great idea, thank you.

Good morning @Varmint101
Well I talked to Pete last night and warned him about what you just said. He has already planned a second production run as soon as he has filled all current orders.

Hello everyone,
I have had several people ask me what stand I have the Big Bang Pellet Traps sitting on. Here are couple of photos showing the stand that I made using 2x4 lumber and one piece of 1x10 lumber. I used decking screws to put it all together and applied a coat of stain. It is very simple to build and designed to hold two Traps, it could be “cut down” in width for just one Trap. It is light weight making it really easy for me to move around to shoot at different distances.
Update: By request, I just added a png file showing the drawing for construction and the material required. As you can see I color coded the individual parts and pieces for assembly. Hope this will help.

Hello @SimplemannThat's a nice straight knot free looking 2x4
I believe that it is local pine very straight long grain wood, had a very strong pine odor when cut.

Good morning @h2okenny
Thank you and I have added you to the list. Pete is trying to set up a better and easy way for everyone to place an order with a credit card direct on line and hopes to have that in place when he starts the second production run. In the mean time I am glad that I can do what I can.

Well,,,,,, I not got FB either, but can be another mission for the boy. Looks like a good working design, and easy to remove spent pellets. Looking like your going to lose some shooting time. And get on the bending machine. He got a lot of work to do. Going to need help.

Good morning @Nvr-Enough
I talked with Pete last night and told him that I wish my health would allow me to come and spend a week with him and help out. I was in the design and fabrication business for over 40 years and had a 40,000 sq ft shop at one time so I do know how to cut, bend and weld but just not able anymore. He is young and he needs a lot of work to keep him out of trouble
.Have a great weekend,

Or, when you collect 10,000 at the end of the week, you can sell them to a forum member to melt down. Just a thought.Hello everyone,
I just finished shooting another Tin of pellets at the Big Bang Pellet Trap and this makes somewhere over 1,000 pellets. If you ever wanted to see what a 1,000 spent pellets looked like here is a photo

OR, one could simply buy several traps to place at different distances. Options are always available.

Hello @Eamon
Received your PM and have added you to the list. As I told you in the PM at this time I am not sure if your Trap will be shipped from the First Production Run or the Second. I have not received the contact information from all of the original Members but I am giving them a little more time.
Thank you,
ThomasT
