This morning’s project was to put my shooting bench firmly “in the ground” with concrete and still be removable.
This table is covered and is facing my 25/50 yard Bench Rest and FT dope range.
Goal was to get rid of the long tripod legs BEFORE I broke my arse 🥴 or toes again!
When I lift the table I have a flat plate insert that fills the 2.4” hole so its level and no longer a trip hazard.

I think your new bench looks great and sturdier than mine. I built this new one earlier this year. It's all construction lumber with 3 legs laminated out of 2x4s and a top made of glued together 2x6 pieces. The single back leg was a bit shaky until I used a figure 8 piece normally used to attach table tops to screw the back edge to the porch rail. That made it a lot more solid. Solid enough for me. Fortunately I don't use this porch for anything else so the bench can just stay set up. The finish is the same Behr house paint on the porch. I have leg adjusters on the bottom of each leg so I could level it up.

For seating I use a rolling mechanics stool from Harbor Freight. I wanted it a bit higher so I screwed on a couple 2x4 scraps. I like the ability to roll around while seated. It's pretty inexpensive.

Nice setup.
My chair in our shot shed have wheels on it, So i can scoot back and forth if i am alone.
Mind you the new top plate on the oven behind me, it do take up a little room. but it was the best option i could find that did not cost a fortune.

My chair though, it is only temporary, it do belong in my friends house, so we are looking for a new one for me to shoot from.

I have a throne portable Drummer seat that I just bought for bench rest, it’s inside my air conditioned garage at the moment… my HFT bucket was just nearby to test my outdoor Bench. This picture is a friend using my indoor bench setup.
