[QUOTE="Big_Tex22, post: 155050, member: 4699"] Don't have any pictures but I used an old door that was solid wood about 2 1/2 inches thick. Got it from the church someone broke in and tore it up a little, got new doors and I got a new bench. Got a 2x4 kit from home depot (the braces are a little more solid than if I'd of just nailed it together!) and built the bench with the door as the table top. Left the top hanging out about 8 inches so you can clamp stuff down, bolt your press down and what not. Used a peg board back so you can hang all the little tools, shell holders, etc and get to them easy. Put a few shelves on for dies, powder, primers, reloading manuals, etc. I think however you want it is best for you. I never really planned to much on mine, I wanted it big enough to spread stuff out and not be crammed tight and unorganized. Other than that just went to building and I love it to death, wouldn't have it any other way. Make sure your bench is solid because your press of course puts the wood under some stress when you crank down on big brass. I'm not a big time shooter but I love loading and my bench is my most favorite piece of furniture!! Beats the desk at work anyway. [/QUOTE]
