          It's still setting in the driveway looking just like it did. When I find just the right spot for it, I'll take pics of it wrapped and camo'd. We have one similar already up and it looks and works well.

            Which welder do you use D-Mo???? Looking to get one to start doing some projects in the off-season.

              I use a millermatic 175, the current version is the 180. I understand it has more bells and whistles.

                Looks Great. Where do you get your Camo Netting?

                  Great stuff Dale! What does the whole rig weigh appx? Just an idea, I would stray away from sheet metal on the roof. It will magnify the sound of your shot. Maybe thin play wood??? Its not maitnience free but it will absorb the sound rather than project it. Great work though, I may "borrow" your idea.

                    Finally got around to wrappin this **** this weekend and got it stood up, although I forgot to take pictures of it "on-site".

                    We wrapped it in burlap (doubled in some places), then draped it with military surplus camo netting. I forgot the plywood for the roof, I'll just have to cut it in half and put it in from the bottom.

                    It looks like there is a lot of light getting through in the pics, but in the shade where it sets, it's very dark inside.

                      You can darken the inside with a roll of that WeedBlocker stuff from Home Depot. Just staple some of it to the burlap.

                      Looks good!

                        That looks really great Dale. I've often wondered why nothing like that is commercially available - I think it would sell. I especially like the double swivel on the seat.

                          We spray painted the inside of the burlap dark green too. Once I put the roof in, it will be very dark setting in the shade.

                              That next toi the last pic looks like something out of star wars. Cool build Dale. You have talent the rest of us yearn for.

                                That is how a pod should be made.
