Built my own Reload Bench.
 
After searching and seeing the prices for Benches, I decided to build my own.

And for less then $80 this the end result. (Biggest cost was Plywood and peg board.)

Specs: 6' tall 32" high at the bench,5' wide and 24" deep. Small Shelf on top which i will put a 4' 2 bulb Fluorescent light, with switch and 2 plugs.

I put Peg Board on the back and used 1/2 plywood (local lumber yard out of 3/4).

Took about 5 hours time (have the GrandBaby this weekend so had to help Grandma or suffer her Wrath.);)

Once I install the light I'll post the Pics.

Looks great Ed. Don't forget to show us what it looks like with all the stuff on it. Those plugs are on dedicated circuits, right.

No they aren't have a plug on the end of the wire, Each room in my house is on a circuit by itself so shouldn't be a problem.

Clyde I put it together with decking screws so it can be taken down and moved. It is now inside.

Only suggestion I have Ed is when you get some extra cash add GFI outlets instead of standard ones.........

Looking good brother, but one of the 2x4"s is upside down!

Might just have to fly you out here and have you build me one!

Our city code calls for all Bedrooms to be on Arc Fault breakers, Which are touchy enough. This house was rewired 2 years ago and brought to code.

NICE Ed! I like it. I hope to have a "man room" someday so I can just what you are doing instead of taking out and setting up just to relaod.
Can't wait to see the finished product!

Looking good Ed!!:)

You might need some more bracing for side to side movement, check it out when you start reloading!!

Thanks John, I knew something was missing, I was planning on putting a shelf on the bottom for storage. just slipped my mind.

Once I do that should take care of any rocking.

Ed, you may have a problem with the 2x4s and the 1/2" plywood. It's gonna flex a lot

Riverpigusmc 09-16-2012 12:59 AM

Looks good, Ed..just remember "powder in, bullet out":p
