Pellet trap done

Finally had the motivation today to work on my silent pellet trap.

The dimensions for this contraption is 4ft high x 2 ft wide x 6inch deep.

I nailed the crib’s platform to the back of it. It is thicker than 1/4 inch plywood and feels a lot tougher. I then laid down thick floor mats that we used for the kitchen. On top of that I placed 1/4 inch plywood. the floor mat is absorb the shock if the pellet ever goes through the plywood.

I then placed 20 pieces of my son’s floor mat inside

I then created a border on top of the mats using 1inch by 1inch piece of wood from the crib. I placed metal mesh from the garden on top and drilled them into the border. This will keep all the foam inside. I drilled a screw on each side of the box so that I could tie a string across. clip for the piece of paper.

As I was putting stuff away in the shed, I saw an old all weather outdoor mat that we don’t use anymore and decided to drill that into the border as well.
