The total length of it is going to be 10 feet long with the top being 47 1/2" tall. 2 heavy duty shelves to put all the powders, bullets etc. in. The top itself it goin to be 2" thick with a hardwood I'm still deciding on. I'll be able to have room for both my rifle/pistol reloading and shotshell. I'll post pics of the space tomorrow but its in the garage where my current set up is.

WOW!!!!!

You need to get twitter

Fuck twitter, it's too confusing.

Sounds like a nice upgrade. I built mine in about 15min.

Lots of stuff to move..

The far right stainless shelf and all the crap on there is going in the garbage. Then all the shelves there will be moved down as far as they will go. The space I'll then have is about 10 feet.

If you can get by with an eight foot long bench it will be easy to make with a four by eight sheet of three quarter inch plywood cut in half length wise and glued and screwed together. More that solid enough for a loading bench. A two foot wide bench will provide lots of room behind the presses to store stuff. Just my thoughts.

Ron, I thought about using plywood a week ago, then this happened with my current bench.


Thanks for the suggestion though!

That's particle board, not plywood.

Yup. Particle board sucks. Gets a little damp, then falls apart. Good 3/4" plywood doubled over will be cheaper and tougher than most any hardwood top you will put on it.

Then fuck you particle wood shit. That really fuckin' hurt when that 15 pounds of cast iron hit my foot. About pissed my pants.

Here's what I finished today. Just cleaning up.

Got all the material last night. The top is going to be 1/2" of particle board with a finish on top. Then 1 1/2" of plywood. Then 1/2" thick shelves underneath with lighting fixtures to see. Later I'll figure out top lighting to see everything on top.

Halfway done!

Dad's not much of a carpenter, huh?

Finished!

What's with the chain link fence across the garage?

He's not allowed to mingle. It puts the lotion on it's skin.

That's where his parents put him when he's bad.

Nice sturdy looking bench. Happy for you.

Haha, dick!

That fence is to keep Charlie out of the food and such.

I finally got everything mounted onto the bench other than my case trimmer (which I'm still for RCBS to send back).

I saw that as well. RMFC ain't a carpenter. That's for sure.
