I was fed up with my bullets and dies vibrating off the shelves every time I loaded, and not having enough room to move with out knocking something over. So, about noon today I decided it was time to fix that problem. Total cost of materials was $103, and I've got right at 3 hrs work in it. Not too shabby huh?

That's what I need, but I don't have any room for it. I have reloading stuff scattered all over the place.

Very nice!! Be sure to bolt the bench to the floor and to the wall behind it. It will help make it more solid. Nice job!

Nice bench. I need to build one myself. $100 is cheap to make a nice bench like you have.
Started out as an evening hunt in the stand. Ended up being a siesta til 9pm.

Bartender, bring me anything except brake fluid, cause I don't plan on stopping!

I wish I had your carpentry skills. Unfortunately, i'm inept at wood work, so I had to pay- $425 for nearly the same bench... Looks great BTW.

Great looking job. I built something similar a while back. I used 2x10s for my top and it feels much more solid than my other benches.
It ain't easy being me.
