Upcoming First Project - BB Gun Pellet Trap

My first project is soon to come. The oldest boys are coming to the age where they can begin learning the responsibilities of handling a firearm. We will begin with the BB gun, aka air rifle. Living in chilly Wisconsin in a fairly densely populated neighborhood, discharging said "firearm" in my postage stamp of a backyard could lead to a negative reaction from neighbors or policing authorities. So, a BB/pellet trap is necessary for setting up a firing range in the basement.

So that will be the first project, with pictures and basic guidelines to build one yourself. Don't expect detailed specs, measurements, templates and someone to come over to your house and build it for you. I'll make it, describe what it takes, illustrate with picutures and turn the rest over to your imagination if you wish to take on such a project for yourself.

Stay tuned...
