Just Finished my Reloading Bench

[tlarson]

I just finished my Reloading Bench, from the plans in the ABC's of Reloading Book and I am pretty happy with the results. See the attached picture.
As phase two of my bench I am thinking of installing T-Track on the bench allowing me to slide my press to the end when not in use.
I was planning on installing two paralell runs of track so I sould have four points of contact to secure the press to the bench.
Has anyone used T-Track on their bench? How does it handle the torque of the press?

Great looking bench! What did you use to coat it? Poly?

Very nice. i want to build one of those, but no room just yet

Holy Crap!!! i dont suppose you would be willing to email me a copy of those plans? do you need to be an epic woodworker, or could a novice build something like that?

My little brother just bought a house and were going to build him a bench next weekend, i would love to create something fancy like that

Thanks for all the compliments.
Gau17- yes I used a water based poly by Varathane

Markdoddridge- I will see if I can scan the pages and email them to you this evening. A novice could build it, but a tablesaw is a must.

It's a beauty!

nice bench. looks very sturdy!

i'm the one who posted the pics of the t-tracks in the other thread. they work great. i made my own cleats and used rockler t-bolts and handles. i made the mounting base of the press long enough to use both tracks firmly and spread the load. i have zero flex in the base/table when working my press. i can also move my press anywhere on the bench i would/need to and still lock it down firmly.

i have my rock chucker, 3 powder drop stands, rcbs case trimmer, and dillon swager on plates that can mount on the t-tracks too. makes for a versatile workspace without having an extremely long bench.

Alternative bench

I saw this at Costco this weekend. All metal (including even the upper cabinets and peg board). It's heavy duty and on locking wheels. I would love to make one out of wood like the OP's, but for those short on time or talent, this is a great alternative.

Very nice. Looks like you will have plenty of storage.
