Reloading work bench

[Destry]

I am going to start building a reloading bench and need some ideas. I would appreciate any suggested dimensions from the experienced and pics if possible. Thanks

Search reloading bench plans on Google and there are some great ones out there. Several of the them are PDF files with dimensions and everything.

Make sturdy you don't want it to be shakey

I agree. Go to a thrift shop or goodwill, you can find some old solid desks for cheap.

My first one was an old teachers metal desk. It worked great.

You will put a lot of pressure on the desk with the reloader so it has to be strong. However you need to check your reloader to see if the linkage goes back very far when you work the handle. That will determine how thick your top is or it will be in the way of the linkage when you work the press.
