Reloading Bench Table Top

[Want2BS8ed]

Bench and cabinets were built entirely of scraps in the shop.



The bench is two layers of 3/4" b/c plywood covered with a 3/4" layer of MDF resting on a 2x6 frame bolted to the walls.

Everything was edged with 1x Sapele left over from a boat building project and then given several coats of Shellac (I'm old school). Seriously solid and wickedly heavy!

PS ignore the LNL. It's since been replaced by a MkVII driven 1050.

My benches are 36" wide - I like that extra space, and to eliminate flex I put a 1" aluminum rod under the press's bolt.  The rod is then screwed into the concrete floor.  This way I get totally solid mount.
