    Built a reloading bench

    This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while but I’m by no means a handy guy when it comes to wood. I’ve had all my reloading stuff at my brothers house for the last few years finally built a good table.

    It’s 27”x8’ 40”tall so I can stand or sit on a stool it should work good. The frame is made of 4x4 legs and 2x6 framing with 3/4” ply wood decking. The shelf is all 1x6 and 11/32 plywood.

    It’s by no means the best and there are lots of flaws but this is the biggest project I’ve ever done out of wood. Click image for larger version

        I like it! Was this from a set of plans or did you just knock it together? Got a materials list by any chance? This is exactly what I need. I'm great at metalworking but dead tree carcass is my weakness...I just don't do it ever so I wouldn't know where to begin with something this nice.

            Looks like it’ll work just fine.

              Looks good to me. My only suggestion is to clean it off and then paint it white. Helps to find little pieces when they get away from you.

                Top it with a sheet of 1/4” white board. 1/16” x 3/4” aluminum angle around the edges for the corners. Now you have a large scratch pad. Take ten minutes to replace when it gets dinged up.

                  Man, it looks great.

                  I don't see a single flaw and would like to know where you got your plans.

                      I built it off of looking at other benches online and slapped it together. I can get you a materials list.

                        Very nice! Exactly what I’m looking to do. Did you fasten all the shelving with glue and nail gun or did you use screws?
