Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Portable shooting Bench Brackets

Brackets arrived today, nice welds Lonny! Thanks for including some bench top plans although, I was impatient and went ahead with the layout I found above.
I think a longer top (than 37") would have been better.

These things are amazing. Real material, not made of chinesium for sale on amazon.

Brackets arrived, thanks Lonny. These are great!!!

I built one of these years ago, back when bxroads was making some brackets and selling them on the fire. My dad has since taken that one over, so I'm doing another. Hopefully will finish it up this week after I grab some bolts at the hardware store and let the paint dry. I have lefties in the family, so I do them ambi-style.

This one is 36" across the front, by 48" deep, as I had two matching 36x48 pieces of 3/4 plywood on hand. My other one is also made of the same, and while it is a bit heavy, it is very stable. I glue the slabs together and supplement with a half dozen or so wood screws.





Had some good help with it yesterday (sarcasm font).

wreckster, dallased and Razz. Thank you very much! It is appreciated.

If anybody is needing a set shoot me a PM or email, anytime.

Made one for my dad last week. Lowes for the board, legs and caps.

vacrt, Dang, that turned out great!

Thanks for sharing the pics.

What are the specs on the board you used?

Lowes one of these not this exact one tho….

Whole isle of them.

Thanks

Got the ambi-bench bolted together and painted this weekend. Four coats of enamel should have it hold up okay if I leave it in the weather sometimes.

I like that a lot!

Finished mine from 2 sheets of 3/4" plywood, a few decals, and 4 coats of Helmsman poly. When it was all done I'm thinking it should've been bigger but, I'll make it work.

Brackets came today. Really nice pieces, excellent craftsmanship and helpful plans. thanks again

Finished mine up this week. Used 1” thick poly that we use for equipment mounting on new fire trucks. Should last my lifetime and my 6yr old sons.

Just curious, how do you cut and finish the shape/edges on the poly? That looks a lot like Starboard which is used in boat applications, except in white.

wreckster84- Bench looks great and thanks for buying the brackets.

stubwad- Thank you! Enjoy your shooting.

HShunter36- I don't know of anyone that built a bench with poly and your looks dang nice. Well done!

We cut the poly with a saw stop table saw and finish the edges with a router. Surprisingly simple to work with.

I'll take a set of 3 please. Please pm the details.
Thanks!
