    Go ahead and make one with the cabinet up top for storing powder and such. Not that difficult.

    When I clean mine up I will send you a picture of my bench.It will not move when you really put pressure on it .The top is for storing powder an primers enclosed with double doors on each side.shelf across bottom of top is bullet storage.Formica top on the bottom were my press is mounted to keep any spilled powder from acumalating in any cracks.Have been using it for 20 yrs.
    (nam era) yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for I am the meanest SOB in the valley!

    PIKER!

    Here's how to properly build... AND properly crap up a couple of reloading benches.

    NOTE: No powder is stored on or near the benches.

    No... I can't even get to them to do anything right now. Been that way awhile, too. But it won't stay that way. Right now I'm busy doing Revolutionary War research and building this and that.

    I figured you could recall that from memory!

    Harbor freight has a bamboo bench that works great as a foundation for a reloading bench.

    Wait. Those are not supposed to be on their side. 'didn't show up that way in Photoshop.

    To quote Walter Brennan from To Have and Have Not... "My memory ain't what it used to be, if it ever was."

    No, I wasn't around during that war, but the one I did participate in, is scrambled like eggs in my brain. Or, it's probably my brain that's scrambled... "Viet Nam Cong Hoa."

    If you think my benches are messy you should see my bullet moulds. They are piled and strewn all over the place. Then there are the containers of cast bullets... They have the additional disadvantage of being heavy as hell...

    Obviously, clutter attracts me, or visa versa.

    But I make my powder hard to get to on purpose. It isn't stored anywhere near the benches. I don't think it's anything like a good idea to be able to just casually reach over and pick one. Scrambled as my brain is I don't need a rifle bolt blown through it from absent-mindedly grabbing the wrong powder.

    I only have one powder at the time on the bench. Mistakes can be Catastrophic !

    Wait. You guys don't mix powders?

    I get some of my highest velocity readings that way!
