I built a wooden shooting bench today and thought I’d share a few pics with y’all.
Started with the platform from an old wooden ladder stand I no longer use. It’s been collecting dust and cobwebs under the shed on the side of my shop for several years. I figured it would make a pretty good top for my bench.
This is what I started with. 4’x4’ deck, center joists extend about another 40”.
I removed the seat.
I removed 3 of the 5/4 deck boards shortening the sides to 33” then cut the 2x6 side frame down flush and shortened the center joists to 55” overall.
