Finally got the heavy 750# table moved into reloading room. Time to clean up and mount presses to 1 thick top. Very solid with bolts in legs to level. Great storage area on bottom for ingots.

Now that's a table.

Do you think it's heavy enough?

That's way cool.
It looks like the tables I made at the safe company.
We had to move them around with pallet jacks or a forklift.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

Thats a heck of a table.
It sure looks like it should be stable enough!

There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.

Oilfield table?

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
BIL gave that table to me back in the late 70’s, said it was a machine table from Barksdale AFB. And if I could load it I could have it. Was a struggle but me and a come-a-long got her did. The whole top is like an anvil.
Got it cleaned up and painted yesterday. Been in my big shop last 18 yrs. as an engine table, has had quite a few old Jeep blocks on it. Next it will be dressed with Dillon and RCBS presses, hope it can stand the strain. LOL
IIRC, I saw one like that stashed away in an old machine shop. Mebbe a "lay out" table?

I would definitely recommend mounting your big presses for heavy duty resizing on the ends of that bench so it doesn't flip over on you like my 40 pound wooden bench does when I mounted the presses on the side of it. I think I need one like that!
Wow! Now that is a beefy table!
The top also has ribs under neith to support top from flexing, and all around the edge, all made of this 1” thick steal. I estimated the weight by what my front end loader will lift, about 700#, it was a load to get from big shop to barn reload room. And get thru double door, quite a bit of maneuvering.
We had one similar to that at work. Somehow it disappeared about 2-3 years before I retired. It was about the same length but about half again as wide. It had the largest vise I had ever seen mounted on it. I think it came from a plant in Pennsylvania that closed.
Just looking at the picture you posted, I would estimate the weight at over 800 lbs. If the top is 1"X 8' X 2', it alone would weigh 650lbs.

Went back and recalculated 28” X 76” X1” real measurement size with ribs under neith and came up with 602 for top alone. Add presses and bottom load would be about another 100# then load bottom with ply wood shelf and 1000# WW and SOWW were over 1700# don’t think it will move around any. Got the 650 mounted last night and the RCBS single stage mounted this morning.
That should do it.

My size estimate was off but it still comes up very heavy. That 1" steel reinforcement underneath ain't light. I hope your plywood shelf is up to holding all those lead ingots. You could always reinforce with a short 2X4 that fit between the lower stretchers that would also keep the plywood from shifting, although that would be a remote possibility. I've always been a belt and suspenders guy.

Good idea, will do that.
I don't like your set up...….it's was too clean and organized. Mine will make you think "where did I lay it down last?".
