What springer did you shoot today?

[crowski]

Shot a few HW30’s today both .177. Rain all day.

These guns are gifts. Doesn’t get much better. Green is coming back.

Cleaned gun room for a few hours today. It’s like a black hole.
This table top is a POS it’s already delaminating. It’s always covered.

Crow

Sorry to see that crow. I made a laminated hard maple top about 1.5" thick for woodcarving around 1979. It is showing tiny spots like yours but I don't understand. It has been in a dry basement and I stood the pieces on edge so carving tools would hit slightly harder wood. Lots of hours went into making that. I got lucky and for sanding after laminating the top I had a buddy with a 49" platen driven sander. The belt/platen would go forward at a chosen rate, the thickness was cranked down to a precise thickness. It cost me nothing but the belts that clogged up with old glue. I have used that bench for carving and general gun tinkering ever since. Yes, some airguns have had scope mounts cone there. All kinds of fun. A great project but I don't know where the plans are now. It has a wood vise on one end and one side. I don't have a photo, I'm a dinosaur. Roar. Be Well Brothers, B.

I have one of those benches, only a couple of months old. I will have to keep an eye on it. It sits outside. When not in use I cover it with a large heavy vinyl tarp then a vinyl coated fabric cover for a large gas grill. Directly on the bench, front art I have a smaller folded canvas tarp to protect the surface. On that my tripod and rear bag sits and when not in use all that sits under a rectangular shaped gavalnized tub.

I didn’t think this wood top would stand up here especially Oak. The other Stable table I have, has a plastic top, which I’ve never had a problem, other than looking cheesy. And a little smaller.
This wood table I cover it with a moving blanket and then a plastic cover when not in use.
Another wood top would be nothing to make. Crow
