You actually need 2" wood for a snug fit NOT 1 1/2". Try the fit at the store. Also, use 2 feet lengths on each side of the tee. A good breeze may tip your stand.
Thank you so much my friend for doing this video! I’m commenting 4 years after you made it- but I just came back from Home Depot and put it together! You are one of my favorite You Tube channels! Thanks again- Long live the Republic!W.F.L21in Cali- unfortunately!
I would glue everything except the two horizontal pieces so it could be disassembled. Also, you can just staple your cardboard to the 2x2s and forget the plywood. Just a thought to keep portable. Not all of us have home range you luck dog.
PVC is definitely the way to go. I built similar stands a few years ago. They lasted almost 2 years with lots of abuse. ( a few misplaced rounds of bird shot did them in. LOL!) They are super conveinient. I did not glue mine because we were traveling to different ranges. I just slid them apart and tossed them in a duffle bag I found at Goodwill. Well done. Got to love projects.
Wife and I have been shooting a lot lately using old discarded campaign signs, been thinking about building something similar to these! Thanks for the tips! Real nice!
If you glue it together and it gets shot accidentally it is harder to fix. If you just stick it together and accidently shoot the stand it's easier to replace the individual piece that was shot. It is easier to travel with if you break it down throw all the pieces in the box
Cool trick is if you fold a piece of 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. It's the same size as the A zone of a USPCA target. For the head I use a credit card to trace might be a little smaller but tighter tolerances.
would adding caps at the bottom and filling with sand make them better? I am about to make some and am wondering if there is any stability issues with wind where sand would be needed
Very cool my friend, one thought, do you think the wind will blow them down? With the big wind catch on top may blow over. Just a couple suggestions, one you could fill the bottom tube with concrete (cheap and pretty easy). Or you could go get a couple, per target, large nails from home depot. They are like ground spikes, I think like a 3 penny nail or something, .89 cents. Then you could drill a hole through the ends of the feet and spike them into the ground. Just a thought... Very cool
I like your design but think I will put end caps on the base and fill with sand, blocking the riser with wood plug held by hot glue. This might help in a light breeze.
Only change I would suggest is to not glue the crossbar on so it takes less space in a truck or automobile. I have a pvc stand I designed but yours looks better in that it won't tip over. I have to pile rocks at the base of mine.

Cool, I'm a retired plumber so this is right up my alley. Went down to Lowe's and got it together and these are fantastic thanks.
Mine are still going strong . Had to re glue them this year. cheap and easy

I thought you were going to say it was right up your pipe
This is probably the best and most simple video of making a shooting stand. Thank you!

Just finished building one. It was a piece of cake by following this video. Great tutorial.
Glad it helped, Happy shooting
Excellent DIY video, brief and to the point. Easy to follow as well. Thanks for posting this.
Thats awesome! Some good ol RUclips engineering!
Thanks for watching. They are working great
Nice stands. Never seen anyone do in pvc. Gonna try that. Thanks!!

Great video! I love these, and I don't think they will ever wear out. Uses mine for years now and there still going strong!
Thanks for watching. I agree they will hold up well

Thanks Jason, Thanks for watching.
Great video it helped me out very much. Thank you.
Thx perfect Aiden God blessed you with more ideas 🙏 thx for shearing.
You' re the man I use PVC for my photography reflector panels you got it right
Thanks
hey do you think this can support the weight of some steel targets ?
No, high wind they tip over.
Very nice build, simple and cheap, thanks my friend. Take care and God Bless!

They are still working great, Used them yesterday
yesssssss i saw your post after saying the same thing LOL
Did you have any problems of it falling over due to wind?
Good stuff sir. Headed to lowes
Thanks for this. It's pretty dope!
This was awesome thanks mate

Just made a new version of the target stand - may put up a video

+Byron Marroquin They are ok on windy day. Putting sand in the feet would help. Thanks for watching
How much to make? Great video👍
Great DIY project my friend.
Thanks my friend
Nice Job I Like This Idea Smart
Mark Clay Thanks, Glad you liked it. I will be doing some shooting drills and some gun reviews this weekend.
Thank you for this! Great ingenuity! And saves me some money😁
Very creative. Great target for $18
Thanks my friend. They are working great. I have been running drills
this is awesome,,looking forward to more videos as you work on your range!
Very cool, I have something similar made of steel tubing but have it pretty shot up now.
Thanks for watching
Awesome set up. wish I had my own range.
Yes it is nice to walk out my backdoor and shoot. Will be shooting this weekend.
Good job my man!!!!!!👏👌😎

You bet, just my experiance
Very neat.
Thanks
Good stuff. I have made PVC stands for over 20 years. Not one time has it ever occurred to me to use wood. Super cool.
Thanks for watching. Neat project
Awesome job man :)
Nice job. Those targets will definitely work.
Thank you and Thanks for watching.
Pretty cool .thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Nice job dude. I'm gonna make a few. Thanks bud.
Thanks for watching
nice...plan to make some myself
Awesome, Thanks for watching.

Easy DIY Target Project
*Don't use PVC glue.*
*If some jackass shoots the stand it's easier to replace a section if it's NOT cemented together with glue.*
Love the stands but 2 cost me 80 dollars
Can I have your steel targets? : )
LOL :) love my steel. I have more coming
