Looking to put together a rolling reloading bench for the shop.
I only reload 338 LM and 6.8 SPC but may add a few others if time allows.
Let me hear (and see) some of your handy work on a practical setup for a workstation.
For me, woodwork, cabinetry is no problem. I’ve got experience and most the major tools.
Metal work, some some experience and some tools.
Welding, Some experience none of the tools.

I made a 4x8 foot bench on 200lbs capacity casters last weekend. I stained it today, I am doing more tomorrow. The red was too red, some walnut stain should even it out.

It has 2 plys of 3/4 inch plywood for a top, 2x6 frame, and under supports. The legs are PT 4x4, the 2x6’s are yellow pine.

The lower top sheet was drilled and screwed into the frame. The top ply wood sheet was drilled and secured between the screws on the lower sheet.

The lower outside supports are also 2x6 yellow pine with two 1/2 inch bolts, 6 inches long. Six 3 inch galvanized deck screws are also used to secure it to the 4x4 legs.

I only used one 1/2 bolt for the top frame, and six 3 inch screws as the lower due to the legs being triangled in under the bench. It rolls well, all the casters lock, I can stand on it and it’s very stable.

I’ve got the larger version of that bot I think it’s too tall and no over hang for coax press. I’m thinking at least one side of the top needs to overhang the frame.
All of my presses are elevated on stands from Inline Fabrication, eliminating the need for overhang, and feel more solid than mounted directly to the bench. Definitely worth the money.
