Project heavy shooting bench

[bboswell]

Frame 4" x 4" x 3/8" angle, legs 9" OD x 3/4" wall, top and seat will be solid 4" thick concrete poured inside the angle iron frame.

Haven't weighed it yet but it sure made a 3/4 truck ride smooth

How much would you make one for?

Wow that is super cool and heavy duty for sure.

Pour the top with concrete and you'll have the most stable bench ever. Nice build!

Nice build. Ours are just a cast concrete top on either 4" pipe or cinder blocks. We put two pieces of 3/4" pipe through the top so there is something to lift with. Far better than any wood bench you could build. Helps to put a blanket on top when you are shooting to keep from scraping your trigger elbow when the gun recoils.

Planning to have very smooth finish on the concrete and painting it in epoxy floor paint to eliminate the elbow scrapes.

How about spraycan rubberized bed liner for the top. Stop elbow scrapes and some protection for anything you lay on it.

That thing is awesome. For my own knowledge what type of concrete will you use? Will quickrete work for a smooth finish?

[WTX]

awesome build!

4x4x3/8 angle is 9.8 lbs per foot
On the pipe....assuming the OD is actually 8-5/8" (my book doesn't show a 9") and the wall thickness is .718 that would make it 8" Sch 120 pipe which weighs 60.93 lbs per foot.
Rebar - not sure but looks like you have #3 which is .38 lbs per foot, if it's #4 then .67
