Built a Reloading Bench this week.

Over the last few years I've been acquiring reloading equipment and figured now that I have quite a bit it was time to build a bench. Any suggestions as to making it a better bench?

Looks nice and solid.  In addition to anchoring and lighting (2 LED light bars under the top shelf), there's two things I'd probably do.  First is cantilever the bench top, I'd go nuts if my feet kept banging on the bottom shelf and it would give a little more real estate on the bench top. Second, build some lockable storage under one side.  Assuming the bench is 8' long, On the right I'd build in a locking 18" cabinet and drawers to fill in the rest of the side..

 

Edit:  I'd probably paint the top with a super hard epoxy.

Agreed --  No matter how sturdy it's still gonna shake --- along with everything on the pegboard

 

looks good though -- great start

Costco has a set of six puck LED lights with adhesive backs.  I ran one set on the under side of the bench top to illuminate the lower shelf.  $20 and one remote can control every light in range.
