I have aquired a solid, 3 inch piece of oak that was to be used as 1 of 2 swinging doors in a bank lobby. They decided not to use these 'cuz the boss said it would make the bank look a like a saloon. Anyway, I got 'em both.
My idea is to make a somewhat "portable" shooting bench for mainly gong ringing at my farm, but will also be set up to take a deer at long range. My dilemma is that I am having trouble engineering a system to attach legs to this platform. I have envisioned using pipe and turning each leg into a fitting bolted to the bottom of the table to set it up. I also want to make the bottom of the legs pointed sharply to drive the legs down into the ground to stabilize the table. Without employing a welder, can you think of anything else I might do or use to complete this project? Any ideas appreciated, Jim R
