Plans on building a reloading bench?

For bench tops don't overlook an old standard. A solid core door. Available at "salvage" companies, door mfr's as "seconds" or "scrap", and even at Lumber Yards/Door Stores as scratched/damaged.

I even found one once that was set out in a front yard and had a sign "Free". The owner was replacing the "fire door" between garage and laundry room. The "garage side" was all beat up and covered with varying shades of spray paint. Made for a nice "bottom side" on a workbench I built into a previous house.


For my next workbench I'm looking for a piece of Bowling Alley lane.
 
i built a bench once about 4 ft high and got a barstool to use when i was sitting. it worked out quite well. i wish i still had it. quite often i want to just load a few to test and dont want to sit down.

one small problem with the high bench the need for extra braces to make it sturdy enough.
