Thread: Building a test fire tube / bullet trap

Made a start today. I picked up 1.2m of 200x200x9 square hollow section plus had the steel shop plasma cut a 20mm plate for the bottom. I fired up the arc welder and glued the plate to the bottom of the SHQ. I'm no welder, but it won't be going anywhere and I got a couple of satisfying beads where the slag peeled off in one piece.

I'm thinking of putting some wheels on one end and some tip out legs so it lives standing up in a corner and is then tipped over on a 45deg for use and can be moved around. I have a very small work space at the moment, so every little bit counts.
