I just finished completing the benches for my reloading room. They are 22" deep, 36" high, and each bench is 8' long for a total of 16' of bench length.
The bench that has all the stuff on it now will be the bench for the reloading presses. My Ponsness Warren 800+ is arriving tomorrow, I'm ordering a Dillon Super 1050 in 2-3 weeks and my trusty Rock Chucker will be mounted on that bench also. The bench that is empty of clutter as of now will be used strictly for brass prep, I've outgrown my Frankford Arsenal tumbler and I'm placing an order for a Dillon CV-2001 in the morning along with the large dillon media seperator. The space on the bottom of the benches will have 3/4" thick plywood to act as a shelf. I just have to rip the 8'x4' sheet of plywood down tomorrow. I use VCT tile for the top of the benches because they are extremely durable and easily replaceable if they get too dinged up.

Very nice, are you planning to put some stain and finish on your benches? Don't forget to build shelfs, you run out of storage room fast. I don't "think" I'm going to stain it but who knows. I wouldn't mind getting some Dillon blue colored paint and hitting the wood with it. I'll have shelving under the benches and have a 5 shelf shelving rack so I'm hoping that is enough shelving. For $70 or so total for 2 benches I think I did pretty well compared to what buying a bench would of cost. |
Looks good! 
Mine does double duty as a reload bench and work bench. In its everyday guise as a work bench. 
Looks like it was 7.5X55 night at the bench. 
Case prep has the RockChucker bolted to the bench and trimmer chucked up in a drill motor, clamped in the vice. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Once I move this spring/summer, I'm going to frame out a 12x12' reloading room in the basement and have bench space on all 3 walls. These benches will do just fine though until then. |

Nice Job! Should be nice to have a lot of working space. Mine is just 4' long and it seems like it attracts "junk" way to fast. I always have to move stuff aside when I'm ready to reload. I had the same problem which caused me to build these benches. My last bench was 4' x 30" deep and the extra 8" of depth did nothing but collect junk. Hopefully these benches won't have that problem. |

It's a Ponsness Warren 800+ in 12ga. It's the Cadillac of shotgun presses and the thing is badass. The quality of the finished shells is equal or better than factory.
