[@FNOCLAN-ri6qu]

FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER!! anyways nice build I'm defiantly doing it

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

Clever shooting table set up. I like it.

[@TKCL]

Thank you for watching

[@epitt906]

You BLESSED....

[@plow9133]

I use those rubber stables mats at Tractor Supply to cover the floor in the shooting house, works great, great videos

[@TKCL]

That is a good idea! If this rug doesn't work, I'll try that!

[@dcbuckler]

Thanks to your video I just built a small folding table, what an awesome idea thanks

[@TKCL]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mattchilders3123]

I liked the close of the video.

[@TKCL]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobjones7204]

So cool and so inexpensive.

[@xipo199]

Really nice setup. I’m digging your shooting rest.

[@TKCL]

Thank you!

[@reallyeric1904]

That’s nice I’m building this whole blind for next season

[@TKCL]

Thanks, several more videos on the channel if you are interested.

[@johnklenzak1001]

How about putting a shooting tarp around the base of the shed so that the legs and steps are covered when looking from the front towards the back of the steps? Or, maybe putting branches on the front side from the bottom edge down to the ground to break up the image of the legs and steps?

[@TKCL]

Did this about a year ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn3Xe2qJnqZ-q9U

[@jimpulcine9925]

Great job. Good luck

[@TKCL]

Thanks!

[@marcroemelen6836]

Brother, that is amazing.

[@TKCL]

Thanks for watching!

[@7outdoors4life]

man this pretty cool i just got done with mine and now just looking more ideas how to do things lol you have a new SUB right here!!!!! great job!!!!

[@TKCL]

Thank you for watching

[@7outdoors4life]

YOU WELCOME MY FRIEND!

[@marcopolo5365]

Buddy! We need to do more walking-hunting than sitting-shooting! Seems we both would be healthier🍁🍁🇨🇦

[@willyd1127]

That’s great.

[@TKCL]

Thanks

[@robbobcat7286]

looks good!

[@TKCL]

Thanks!

[@WhoDat-cc8zo]

Great video bud! Yeah got a buck that’s tearing up some of my young pine trees! This severe cold we’ve had has really damaged my plots. Man your very good with wood. My carpenter skills are basic AT BEST! Lol. 😂 I’ve also subscribed to this channel. See ya on the next one.

[@TKCL]

It's been raining for two days here, cold and windy. My wife and I sat in the blind in comfort this morning, nothing is moving in this weather though. Hope your plots make it.

[@BigMex777]

That’s awesome!!! I have to do that in mine. Thank you brother

[@TKCL]

Appreciate you watching!

[@elvilinwhite6964]

Thank you

[@TKCL]

Your welcome, thanks for watching!

[@robertsbushcraft]

That's a nice setup! I'll never have enough drone footage of my farm.

[@TKCL]

Thanks!

[@stevecallaway8457]

Be sure to secure sit won't blow over. Mine did

[@TKCL]

I've got those 6x6 posts several feet in the ground. I've still considered using earth augers to anchor it down further.

[@mhking136]

a coat of paint on the treads and sprikle some sand on them while the paint is wet ( homemade no-slip )

[@TKCL]

Not a bad idea! The first step I just put one of those camper step rugs on, fits perfectly and cleans my boots off.

[@franciscomorataya6108]

Nice how you build the shooting table

[@TKCL]

Thanks

[@brianrisley4982]

I'd like to see how you built your windows and also how is your blind holding up with non treated framing?

[@TKCL]

Just did another video yesterday on the outside putting up privacy lattuce. Structure is bone dry and holding up well after a year in the Florida elements. Thick barn/fence paint is the key to keeping lumber rot free.

[@TKCL]

Windows were purchased from "Deerview" window company.

[@codys8754]

Awesome job on that shooting bench! Pretty clever that it can fold away too. I plan on incorporating this idea on my current deer blind, which has a fixed table. By the way, what state do you live in?

[@TKCL]

Thank you for watching, I live in Florida.

[@captainjoesanglingadventur4894]

Looks like a Meat Table to me.. Simple but yet Very Effective

[@TKCL]

It works far better than I was expecting.

[@captainjoesanglingadventur4894]

@@TKCL I will Definitely use your idea in mine for sure

[@grayson60]

What were your dimensions on the shelf? Did I miss that part?

[@TKCL]

No I didn't state it. I don't remember them, I'll have to check them another day and let you know

[@grayson60]

Thanks for checking. I’m a little over 200 miles from the camp and would like to come close on the dimensions and pre build the shelf before I go up.

[@grayson60]

I also built a permanent small shelf outside the window which gave me a little more room on the inside before I knew about the shelf you built inside. Still would like your dimensions. Thanks.

[@TKCL]

Sorry about that, it's 24 long by 19 wide

[@grayson60]

Thanks for your dimensions.

[@bigpapigreg]

Nice project Bigun! I dig it!!! Question, what are the angles that you cut for your stairs? Top where it mounts to the blind and the bottom that sits on yer stepping stones? I struggle with angles!!! I aint building no piano........ but id like it to fit good and flush. Thanks for yer time and good luck this coming season............ its right around the corner!!!!

[@TKCL]

I didn't measure any angles, I propped the board up and then used a level to transfer the bottom line and top lines to the board before cutting

[@susantripp8789]

What did you use to keep your shutters to stay open?

[@TKCL]

Those windows came with keepers to match them open.

[@stevecallaway8457]

How did you install Windows to insure wasps are not getting like in East and Central Texas

[@TKCL]

I purchased the rubber door seal material that's sold at hardware stores and stapled it to the outside of the wall so when you close the windows it seals to the window and wall.

[@TKCL]

I just did a update video showing this kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnm9ZaCcopt0bKc

[@ScottRogerson]

Great looking blind. I'm trying to plan my own at the moment. I appreciate you taking the time to post these videos. What is the height of your windows from the floor? Thanx!

[@TKCL]

I honestly don't know and will have to measure one day. I sat down in a office chair and measured up to eye level and centered my window opening based on that. I have several videos on the shooting house if you browse around the channel.

[@bryanhennings5675]

What size are the windows? And awesome blind!!!!

[@TKCL]

If I remember correctly they are 12x36. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@TKCL]

I just did an update video showing the windows and dimensions kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnm9ZaCcopt0bKc

[@HollywoodMGB3]

How deep.is the blind?

[@TKCL]

6ftx8ft

[@HollywoodMGB3]

@@TKCL Thank you, great video

[@montemorelos]

Can you give me the name of the light you install in the blind? or the address where to buy it... thanks

[@TKCL]

Type in battery operated swith light on Amazon. I don't remember the company.

[@michalkotulak4948]

Where from i can get stand like that? Thank you

[@TKCL]

Not sure, I built mine.

[@michalkotulak4948]

I mean where from you have gun fork?

[@TKCL]

Ohh I see, it's a Koplin atv gun mount that I purchased from Amazon

[@sharpshooter2158]

Did you buy those windows or did you make them?I like them!

[@TKCL]

The plexiglass windows I bought from deer view window company.

[@sharpshooter2158]

Ok, thanks

[@AASparkChaser]

Just use the window ledge!

[@TKCL]

325 yards to the back of the plot, I need more support than a thin window ledge. Not to mention I use this to sight my rifles in. It's a multi purpose bench.

[@AASparkChaser]

@@TKCL I understand the reasons for a solid gun rest. I have added my own on kit built stands. I just thought your windows looked quite solid.

[@nobodiesthetiger785]

I am looking to build a elevated blind myself I was wondering how much did everything cost

[@TKCL]

I didn't add it up, but it was somewhere around a thousand. Less than half of what some of these blind companies are wanting for a 6x6 blind. Building the door and windows yourself is a huge cost savings.

[@piercem56]

He served his country by abandoning his troops during a deployment to Iraq! He went as wall!

[@cratxn1]

You have an ingenious mind...project that in your videos by improving your English...there is nothing that makes us Southerners look more stupid than speaking poorly...good ideas in planning and building your blind ( very smart stairs design )

[@TKCL]

I for one don't care if I project myself as stupid based on the way I talk. Too many people care far to much what others think, I learned a long time ago to be happy in my own skin and not worry how others see me. While I understand where you are coming from, I'm perfectly happy being just the way I am (southern accent included). Other than that, thanks for kinder comments on my ideas.
