Bud, THANK YOU for posting this. I'm not a carpenter and had no idea what a plunge cut was. But looked it up, watched a couple videos on it, and it ABSOLUTELY saved tons of time making these VTAC barricades. Thanks man! 👍🏻
Video is appreciated on how to build it but without measurements or a link to the actual instructions. It's kind of hard to built this if there is no measurements given on where to cut or how to mark up the plywood so it can be cut
While you can use C clamps as noted below, I would use the bolts, washers and wingnuts as shown in the video. What I would do differently would be to use 3 wood working clams [Bessey for example] to hold the up rights in position while the drilling was being done. Clamps for that purpose are far more reliable at preventing movment than a pair of hands. Next, I would be inclined to use a stout steel piano hinge to connect the 2 halves of the actual barricade with # 10, 3/4” wood screws. You could also place the piano hinge between the two halves of the barricade as opposed to on theinside of both pieces and use 1.5” screws. This mehtod however would require a strip of 5.8” thick x 2” wide as a reinforcing board on each side of the barricade both above and below the piano hinge to prevent the plywood from splitting out from the screws going into it vertically. Either way would spread the strain of people using the barricade over a much broader surface making the assembly more durable. As for washers, 2 fender washers under both the bolt heads and the wingnuts would increase the durability of the barricade as well...
At 2:50 that’s a very dangerous place to put your hand while cutting, not saying I don’t ever do it but you really shouldn’t put your hand anywhere near that guard
Another option is to get a Portable Tactical Simulated Barricade (PTSB), which is lightweight, collapsible, foldable and can fit on the backseat of your car!
You could also use “C” clamps 🗜 to hold the vertical supports to the barricade.
Do you have a link to the exact plans for this build?
Also, if you're going to do this at home look up how to plunge cut with a circlcular saw and it will save you a bunch of time while doing this.

You guys are awesome! This is gonna be my next project, thank you so much for this video!
Our pleasure!

Outstanding video, appreciated
Dude built this whole thing with a holster on, what a Chad.
Thank you very much for the video!!
Very helpful, thanks for making this video.
Back when lumber was cheap
I know, right?

link for the instructions you keep referring to
not to be a smartass, but google is an amazing tool...
I made my "feet" stick out beyond the braces ~6" and put a hole so they could be staked down
Kinda painful to watch - great with guns, not so much power tools. Good video nonetheless.
Lmao
holy shit it’s rick grimes

This is the exact type of build I was looking for. Thank you.
@@icarusarms3152 Nice!
dude takes rifle to test ports, proceeds ignore the handguard and rest rifle directly on the barrel...
let me know how those groupings go.
Ryobi tools? 😂
good vid. completely backwards from lamb's barrier
