I have a junk steel plate approximately 1 1/4 inch thick, 40x40 inches

It is junk because it is warped, I would say, it- is about 1/2 inch out
of flat. So I cannot, in good conscience, weld it to a base and call
it a welding table.

So, I thought for a while, what can I do with it?

Yesterday, I made a portable gun target plate on wheels for myself from
another steel plate. This one is 3/4 inch thick and appx. 40x40
inches, and it works great for rimfire rifles.

It made me think about this and I thought, how about I make and sell a
portable gnu target from the big plate, by welding a base on casters
underneath.

The question and concern is, what sort of liability can I potentially
be exposed to if something goes wrong. Say, a bullet ricochets and
kills a kitten a mile away, or whatever. Any comments are welcome.


Now you're thinking like a manufacturer in the US! Don't forget sun
glint causing accidents on the highway, make sure the steel is certified
not to be "Blood Steel" from Mali-Wali-Bobo or causes Climate Change, or
takes jobs away from the Union Target Workers of America. And for god's
sake...don't make any money or they will be lining up around the block
to take it away from you.
