Looks nice. Wait a bought 6 months or so and you will wish that you made it twice as big. I started out with 5 feet, than went to 10, I now have over 20 feet of reloading bench space not counting storage shelves and could use another 5 foot or so. A rock chucker, RCBS 4X4, 3 Mecs, a Dillon 550 & 650.

Nice looking bench. Your attention to detail is evident, and that trait will serve you well when reloading.

Was that a bench "kit" of some kind? Never seen connectors like that before. Where did you get them? They look real sturdy and stiff.

Appreciate the kind words. My wife got it for me as part of a xmas gift. Best thing about the kit is that you can build it as large as you would like...sturdy is an understatement.

At least your not handloading in a closet like me.

In a closet?

In a closet?

Yup, i had a whole bedroom for my guns/reloading bench that stretched from one end of the room to the next, i had lots of room to reload and clean/work on my guns but were having a baby girl next month and she is gonna need her own room so i cut up the old bench and made a 3x3 bench for the closet. At least i have cable in the master bedroom.

I was gonna do the same thing. How do you plan on bolting down the press? Doesn't the press need to be at the edge of the table? Just wondering because I don't know how you would be able to install the nuts underneath the table.

The bolt pattern is usually inset a little, so there should be enough room. You could always use lag bolts, but I don't think they would last very long.
