Live reloading bench build

Been wanting to build a new bench for a while. Gonna start it today. Here's what I have rigged up for now.









Real messy and it's just kinda thrown together.


Time to start!

It's gonna look great! You and I should do some koozie swaps!

What are you going to use for the table top? I went with .5" birch but slapped on some tung oil to prevent minor stains, etc. Good luck!

A little reinforcement where the presses will be mounted and then some more support.....

I have tons of koozies. I pick em up every chance I get.


I'm just doing plywood on top. I'll probably stain it at some point.
