DIY reloading bench

I made mine out of 2x12s and 2x4s.
The top is 24x48, so no waste with the 2x12, top was doubled up so it's 4" thick. Legs are doubled up 2x4 (4x4) 24" high, again makes for no waste. It's a big heavy bench when it's all done, and I think it was under $60 for all the wood, screws, paint, and lag bolts I used to mount the press.
 
Humm, I have a feeling that's going to be a bit wobbly for a reloading bench. You'd have to double up on that counter top too but if one was in a pinch, I'm sure they could make it work. Not bad for $60.

Edit: Sale ended, back to $120.

That would be 22 1/2" X 48 and 3"X4" legs...

Unless you used rough, unhewn lumber?
 
It might work of you remove the wheels and bolt it directly to a concrete floor. Otherwise, I think it will be moving all over the place. I made mine out of 2x4s and 3/4" plywood and lag screwed it to the wall. The top is two layers of 3/4" plywood glued with construction adhesive and screwed together from underneath. Pretty solid.
 
If you screw down a piece of 1" plywood to the top, remove the wheels, and screw the frame into the wall, you might get away with loading handgun cartridges.
 
^^^exactly. You need a strong and stable reloading bench (thats why it is called bench not table) ;)

a nice reloading bench can be built from 4x4, 2x4 and plywood for less than that table price ;)
