What was the approx. weight of the finished project? I know you said you’d move it with the tractor, but would it be movable by 2 decently strong dudes? I’d like to build one at home and take it to my farm, but I don’t want to build one at home and have it turn into a plant stand because it’s too heavy to move. Love the video…keep ‘em coming
I like this but 1 question there is no cut for the middle spar at 40′ in your cut list? Please advise.
Nice shooting bench and I have the same dewalt tools….great tools!!! Would like a list of materials and dimensions so that I can make one also!!!
Built my own variant based with your general measurements as a basis using just the lumber I had around the house. Thanks!!
Did you use pressure treated lumber?
Looks amazing
Great build, came out really nice. Awesome planning to use up all the material. I was also impressed by the right angle skill saw cuts!!! Thanks For Sharing: Shawn
just not watching this video in Oct 2021, is it still under 100.00? 🙂
Just getting back into shooting after a 20year break Thank You for a great vlog I will be making this bench 👍
Nice bench.. thank you for sharing, Mike
I hope he has a range in his front yard…he won’t be moving that bench in his jeep.
Just finished my shooting bench using your plans mixed with a few others. Turned out well. Thanks for the video. Here is 2020 the lumber is NOT under $100. lol
I made it with Woodprix plans!

I’m sure the best wood makers instructions is on woodprix website.
I got the older dewalt drill that’s not brushless. I’m going to replace it with a brushless once it craps out. I’ve been saying that for the last 4 years they just won’t quit
Great video
Use 1 8 foot deck board and 2 10 foot deck boards
Thanks for the great video, just built one last weekend!
Nice job. Great video, that is for posting
Nice Job On The Bench!! 👊
The only thing I’m doing different is working my deck boards in from each side so I have one narrow piece in the middle.
You can go to woodprix if you would like to make it yourself guys.
What two boards (length) were the ones you cut at 45 degrees
Dewalt is made in China and they suck. They don’t last! Get a Makita. It will last forever! And use any color other than grey!
One of the best video tutorials I’ve ever seen. One question from a tinhorn here…at 6:29 of the video what is the distance between the two rear 2×8 vertical rear bench supports? spacing is critical to ensure proper seat support. It looks like 3 or 4 inches maybe? Can someone clarify, please?
WARNING Inappropriate Mind Numbing and Vomit Inducing background muszac that will make you stupid enough to think that this is an awesome design.
Thanks for the great shooting bench plans!

5:30 Assembled Frame w/o Top

I’ve worked up a couple lists that I found useful to me before I set out to make this bench. Of course, as others have noted, I don’t believe you have included the materials and/or cut list for the top. It looks like to me you have used 5/4 x 6 treated deck boards for the top and I purchased (4) 8 footers for the top. Easy enough to cut them to fit the top by using the framed top as a pattern once I completed framing the bench… simply lay the boards on the side-by-side and mark the bottom with a pencil, remove and cut to fit.
My Materials List and current prices at local Home Depot as of 29 Dec 2019:
(10) 2x6x8 $5.47 each (Total: 54.70)
(1) 2x8x12 $12.17 each
(4) 5/4x6x8 $5.47 each (Total: 21.88)
(1) 1 lb box #9×3" Deck Screws $9.47 each
(1) 1 lb box #19×3-1/2" Deck Screws (used where screwing into end grain) $9.47 each
Total: $107.69 Note that I purchased an extra 2×6 and a longer 2×8 than necessary. For slightly higher cost I should have room to cull and optimize for best quality, and maybe eliminate a return to HD to replace a defect or miss-cut. All boards are Pressure Treated Lumber.
Cut List For Framing Members:
Qty Material/Length/Part Description
4 2×6/35"/Forward Legs
3 2×8/35"/Rear Legs
4 2×6/43"/Top Front & Rear, Bottom Front & Rear
4 2×6/25"/Top Ends, Bottom Ends
4 2×6/20"/Rear (Center) Top and Bottom
3 2×6/44"/Seat Horizontals
2 2×6/17"/Seat Verticals
1 2×6/40"/Top Stretcher
6 2×6/16-1/2"/Seat Tops
Did I miss the complete lumber package to build this?
Great looking bench – thanks! I’m looking to make one as well. I’ll link your video if I do!
Cool instrumental = Ngay Da Do’m Bong by Mai Trang
Ha, with lumber prices today, it should say, for under $300. Nice design though. Thanks.
This is crazy. At work, we are alway talking about how our phones listen to us. Just this week, me and a friend of mine were talking about building a a really good shooting bench. I come home from work today, click on Outdoors with the Morgans and this video comes up and this is a video that i hadnt watched yet. Just may be something to this stuff about our phones listening to us. I dont really believe that but we have talked about it. Anyway, that looks like a nice bench. Thanks for taking to time to show this. Stay well, stay safe and yall HAVE A DAY
OMG i have been using a speed square for ever but never to guide my skill saw and keep my cuts square! That’s the most priceless tip I have ever gotten from a you tube video.
Really awesome thanks I built one with my brother in law really appreciate the time and video 👍🏻
List of boards for top?
good use of material beefy construction
Mike I am not seeing where the measurements are for the top and what size would you used.
Plan on building this this weekend and needing to know the type boards used on top and the dimensions
Did you use 3" Deck screws?
This bench looks rock solid. A great prototype. I am going to build one for a right-handed shooter. That should cut some of the weight off. This gets me off to a great start. Thanks.
Sorry to say you won’t be building that beautiful shooting bench for a hundred dollars, with today’s lumber prices. you be looking closer to $200.00.OUCH
Great video do you have a cut list for the lumber?
Great Video …learned so much ..soon as there is Lumber I will be doing this …
Not sure you should have painted green wood before it’s hasn’t cured yet.
I gave a thumbs up, just for the idea of using a speed square, as a saw guide
Thanks for making this video! I was wondering what length the boards are that make the 45° angle on the deck
Mike, I learned something from watching you cut the board. Using the square as a guide, awesome trick.
Nice man I’ll definitely be building one of these
Nice dog and chickens….and fast too!
That’s really nice!! 😃👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Great video Mike! I watched this video over a year ago and finally built my own shooting bench based on your plans! Great content on your site, keep it up!
