    NEW RELOADING BENCH!!!

    My new bench is finally finished. It took exactly 7 days to build. I started last Sunday and just finished.

    This is what it looked like last Sunday.


    First I cleaned it up.


    Then I ripped out the old cabinets.


    Ran some wire.


    And then started dry walling.

    More dry wall.


    Put some mud up.




    Started installing the cabinets.



    And the finished product.


    The cabinets came with a 5/8" top. Over that I put a 5/8" sheet of plywood. Over that 3/4" of counter top. That adds up to a total of 2". I could jump on it if I wanted to. There is no movement at all.

    I bought all the cabinets at home depot. There were very inexpensive but worked fine.

    Thanks for reading.

                      Don't forget the "tactical doilies" so you don't soil your benchtop..

                      Looks great! Gonna put any finish on the Plywood top?
                      A couple coats of BLO or Tung Oil Fiish would really dress it up & help keeping it less dusty in the long run.

                      The cabinet doors are pretty fancy looking! Nice job!
                      Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

                      I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

                      Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

                        It's actually not plywood. It's laminate counter top.

                        Here's a closer look.



                        Also the large cabinet on the right holds my air compressor. I installed PVC to carry the air around the garage.

                        Here's a closer look at that.

                          ^ Nice countertop, Chris.

                          So guess you just need some tactical doilies for Christmas?

                            Very nice! Makes me want to do something similar in the disaster that is my gun room.

                              What, no insulation in the walls after all that effort?
