Pulled plans for this off of the web and adjusted slightly. Works well as a permanent bench for my set 230 m target/backstop on the 1/4 that I'm on.

I'm eager as well to see of plans for portable units.

Arrgh. I give up. No idea how to post with an image in a post. So I hope this works.

Rona sells a half sized white plastic topped folding table for $50. With a folding chair and a couple of sand bags, total weight is less than 30 lbs, fits in trunk of most cars, pickup box no problem. Very stable and comfortable, when it gets too hot, use shadow of the truck for shade.

Wow if I could build this quality piece of gear I'd see if people wanted to buy them from me, I would. FS

This was my third refinement....and I have sold a few in the past, but found it to be only practical to build them 4 or 6 at a time. A golf umbrella works very well in the summer for those really hot days in P Dog towns.....these weigh in at 115lbs, swivel 360 degrees and fit perfect in the box of a truck box even set up. Thanks for all the compliments......

That is a wicked bench. Are you selling any and how much would you be looking for? There dont seem to be many options here in Edmonton.
