Re: Adding a reloading press to a new workbench
I can't due to being on the phone, but if you search my user name and reloading benches in the thread title, you should find it easy.

Had to go with cheap.

If you want a smooth surface, you should put tempered hardboard as the top layer.
Also, measure the doors that you want to take them through. I built a couple of workbenches and they were light enough that I could pick them up. I just hauled them out of the house on a hand truck.

Do you or anyone else use those, and do you like them?

But yeah, that's my new bench for any firearms or household projects.

If all else fails I can lock the wheels and use it for extra shelter in case of a tornado.

Re: Adding a reloading press to a new workbench
You just built my first shop workbench (with casters, which is a great idea). That bench of mine, 8' long, built 42 years ago, is now bolted to one interior wall of my current 50'x50' shop building (with an extra 6' added). The construction looks exactly like mine and mine has had everything from V8 engines to rifles to wristwatches repaired on it. Mine's in it's 3rd building now; you'll never wear yours out!! Wear well!!
I'm not old--It's too early to be this late.
