I made a portable shooting bench topped with 1 1/8" OSB years ago. It has had the top sanded and refinished a couple times in the last few years. All the rain the last 2 years and it was starting to delaminate and the edges were swelling up again, so I decided to fix it. I re-cut the bad edges off the wood and sealed the chit outta it, got a scrap of Corian big enuff to cover and screwed it on. It otter hold up better now.....









before...when it was in good shape.

Looking good MacGyver...

Pretty nifty!

Handyman22......that turned out nice, you always have some nifty ideas like your scope levels and many others!

Sweet bench. That should last a long time.

Looks good. The storage underneath is an excellent idea too, though I'm not sure I'd want the rifles pointing at me. A good place to put cleaning gear, spare rounds, spent brass and other stuff to get them out of the way.

Might have to rethink your backstop, or is that the target board down there?

Heck, you could eat off that!

Prairie dog town to the right of the barn. 465-900 yards to the wheatfield. Can be some kinda challenging....

You could hang alotta targets on those dormers...

Why? Birds on the ridge are way more fun with the 17 hmr.

I am very jealous of you guys that can go out and shoot on public land at will. My range memberships cost me $650 annually.

Nice bench Don.

R28, I don't have to bump heads with idiots on public land. The bench is sitting on my front porch right now. Steel to 800, and can go as far as I want in the wheatfield.

Don't stroke out, bud....

Looks great! Corian is some awesome stuff and sure isn't cheap. But if you know what you're doing you can make all kinds of things out of it.

Looks nice. Might be a little slick, though.
Nothing a few swipes of 100 grit wouldn't fix, I'm sure.

Great looking spread, too.

Not knowing what I'm doing, has never stopped me from making chit outta it.....grin

It's pretty neat stuff. You can heat it up and bend it. Glue different colors together to make stripes. I worked in a shop that made custom Corian counter tops for a few years.

Bench looks mo' betta now, IMO.

What are the holes underneath for?

leg storage during transport.

Very nice.

The Clampetts go prairie doggin'.....who knew.....

huntsman22 - really nice job...do you do kitchen counters too?
Just jokin' with ya. Bench has some fine detailing. Homesteader

So, when are ya gonna install the 4-wheeler underneath it?

Don;
Thanks for sharing the photos of your "new and improved" bench with us sir - it is very cool indeed.

While I'd spent half a lifetime in the cabinet industry, it's only been the last couple years that I've been learning the many uses of Corian.

I now have to find some white stuff back at the shop....

Thanks again for sharing your skills with us Don and all the best to you this summer.
