My new reloading bench from scraps.

[fiberoptik]

I'm just getting started in reloading and had no bench. I'm also severely $$ & space limited. My first attempt was a Harbor Freight vice table with a piece of 3/4" plywood on a piece of 2x4. Too light, too wobbly. My son in law had a big speaker box he was tossing out. The more I looked at it the more I saw possibilities. I still plan on adding a removable shelf and a box to hold my powder scale. I added some 2x6 scraps for feet with plastic sliding chair protectors so I don't mess up the floor. I added my board with my two presses on it. My big boxes with reloading stuff will go below it for extra weight.
Here's what I made.

Yeah that's entirely too neat. My table is 2'x8', shelves above and below and I would still love more room

You're well on your way to a great start. You will find that the $$$ and space will make their own way.

that's how it all starts then before you know it it's 3 or 4 benches 6 to 12 feet long shelves top and bottom now I look around wonder where all this stuff came from ,it all started 40 years ago with a lee loader on the kitchen table
