Was raining so I did this today:)

[dodge3500]

Made outta oak except the legs are pressure treated 4x6s.the oak came from a huge pipe pallet and I've had the 4x6 for about 16 years now.the pallet was free and I don't remember how much the 4x6 was,ooh yeah 3 inch decking screws are about as old as the 4x6.
My guess for cost other than my time today about 20 to 25$.
A decent left hander shooting table that weighs a freekin ton.the oak must have added the bulk of the weight.
Dimensions are 4 foot long,3 foot wide at front and 22 inches at narrow part and 32 inche legs.

I like it!

That's worth some positive points for ingenuity and recycling. Imagine the fun your going to have with that table! Nice job! Imagine what you could come up with in a Wet monsoon?!

AWESOME! Three cheers for us lefties!

Looks great! But then, it is actually a right handed shooter table (if you rotate it).

I enjoyed doing this today.im thinking I just might grab up some more oak pallets and make a few more repurposed shooting tables .
If I had purchased all of it today it probably would have cost me around 125$ to say 150$ plus my time.

Looks good dodge! Built one simimalur out of scrap but not near as industrial. Another thing you can do is to go to Harbor Freight and they have some 8 inch numatic wheels for something like 4 bucks each. Put a set on the front legs and then you can just wheel it a round like a wheelbarrow. 

 

[dodge3500]

That's a good idea,gonna look into it.
Lol woke up this morning thinking (why am I soo sore?).I think that table was the cause of it or maybe just getting old.

Solid.That gives me an idea on how to use scrap lumber when I refresh my deck in the spring.

 

[linsfreak]

Very sweet, but has to way a lot.
Either way nice job.

 

[dodge3500]

Lol,it weighs a freekin ton but man it's solid and I have plans to only move it once.

Nice job Dodge3500. I have had problems shooting off less substantal benches, they seem to bounce upon firing. The shot groups open up with vibrations, at least that's my excuse.
PS you forgot a cup holder.

 

[Dartagnan]

Good work!! 

 

[dodge3500]

I just purchased a 3x4 foot rubber mat thats 1/2 inch thick to trim and screw down over the top.The mat should provide non skid, permanent water proofing, seem less top surface and a smoother surface to shoot from.i get it installed and a few finished pictures this week.

"addertooth"Looks great! But then, it is actually a right handed shooter table (if you rotate it).

You'd have to flip it upside down and reattach the legs that way too. -1 accuracy for you, sucker. (kidding! )

Yes, hardwoods are hard because they're dense. I built a pair of nightstands out of Ash a while back and I about threw my back out hauling them up the stairs. Nightstands!

As for moving it, you can put a pair of wheels on the front legs, sideways, just so that they wouldn't hit the ground, but if you tilt it over, you could roll it around.

Even though the lumber is ugly, I'd be tempted to put a few coats of deck stain on it so it doesn't rot out on you. Even though the wood was free, you don't want to have to do it again every couple years, right?

 

[dodge3500]

Yeah gonna do some Thompson water seal before attaching the rubber mat.
I'll get the finished pictures up this weekend.
I hope to get to use it as well.
