    My new reloading bench from scraps.

    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.

    Looks good to me. Did a good job.
    You know, there's an old saying, Miss Sally. There's no law west of the Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chism? James Pepper

    Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there. John Simpson Chism

    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.
