my reloading "bench" is an old steel desk i found in the house we were rehabbing.
It's build like a tank, prob'ly weighs 250 pounds .

Huge drawers that will hold a ton of weight.

It's been as excellent multi-use work bench.
best part was FREE and I didn't have to build it.

I put two sheets of 3/4" Birch plywood on top (also salvaged from rehab we turned)
Make the top rock solid

i added the case feed this Summer

I can also assure you, my work space rarely looks that organized .
It's generally in a state of controlled chaos ...like my life...

..L.T.A.

For the amount of shooting reloading its great. One day I have big dreams. A lot of good ideas can be gotten out of these guys.

Yeah I built it using about $400 worth of materials from Lowes. It has adjustable shelves and a pullout shelf for the tumbler. Not bad for a first reloading setup......lol

I really like what you put together there. Did you plans from someplace, or come up with it all on your own? I don't have a place for something that nice now, but my wife says if I finish my basement, I can have a "gun" room...

I'm an engineer, so yeah I had plans....lol

I used AutoCAD to draw everything up to fit my anticipated needs. It has two parts, the bench and the cabinets (which are bolted together).

The bench part is basically the same as the following bench:

The top part was all my design.
