I'm looking to build one but id like to see plans with a material list. Just a simple table. The only one with a material list I've seen is one kicked out by the NRA years back but I know it'll cost $$ to build. I was about to get wood fr Lowes to build today but I think most of their lumber was left outside in the rain cause all I felt was damp, green wood

Wingmans stand is nice, my reloading bench way back when, was of similar construction except mine was about half the length of his...very strong with the 2x6s i used. I revised this a little when i lived in CT for work benches which i would incorporate into any future reloading benches. The top would be 3/4" MDF with a single sided, 1/4" plywood on top...painted all with a good like cement floor paint.
The reason i went with solid top was i didnt like the edges of the 2x6s, wanted complete smoothness...the 1/4" was used for like a veneer...i always one way or the other, eventually trash my bench tops...so when they get trashed enough, i can simply add another 1/4" sheet on top, or remove the damaged one and replace. Dont know if wingman did or not, but working with lumber like this for benches, i always glue all pieces together, and double lag bolt everything in the stand...nothing i hate worse then a wobbly workbench. Wingmans looks pretty solid. |
Mine at my last house. Now everything is in storage :( ... No cracks about the wall paper 
Right hand press has been upgraded to a Honraday LNL with case and bullet feeders. ETA. I have built several over the years . Double whatever you think the top should be thickness wise. The picture is 3/4 inch with another 3/4 inch backer 1 foot square under the presses and they still flex a bit.

I like wingmans bench, I've been figuring on 2x6s or even 8s for a while. Mine will have to be small so I figure a 10 or 12 ft should do it by cutting it right. Then 2x4 the rest. |

Here is what I came up while using those plans. It's a bit shorter and obviously the top shelf doesn't run the whole length. 
It's current state. Added the peg board and lighting. I am working on a universal mount for the vise and a Lee turret press so I can swap them or leave them off.

Got the 2x6s cut today, it'll be a weekend project. |

Looking back, one thing I didn't do that I would now, I used 2x6's for the top, I should have added a solid sheet of plywood for a somewhat smoother top. Mine is all bolted together and has diagonals added for stiffness, decking screws were used to secure the top to the frame. |
