The kitchen table is no longer a good place to clean firearms...never really was but that was the only choice...until now!!!!

Home Depot 4x8 3/4 sheet oak plywood and 1"x2" oak strip trim and 2x4 frame trim the legs in oak veneer . it will be strong and stain any color you want. About 140.00 for materials and your labor.  Sweet this would be a great work gun tale.

Get a solid core wood door and make a 2x4 leg/support frame. Stain and clearcoat it for an excellent table/work bench.  You can also use the 1 1/4 hitch mount underneath to mount vices, tools, and reloaders. When not using them, store them under the table top. For an easy replacement top get a roll of craft paper and mount it to one end. Roll it out and tap it down for a "clean" and "new" work surface. When your done with it tear it off and throw it away.

Hi!  I built this one below.  Pretty simple to build.  I dressed up the top some though by making it out of 2 sheets of OSB and 1 sheet Melamine.  It looks great.  I'll see if I can snap some pics tomorrow.  Can't recall how much it was but it was cheaper than buying one.

I used a 4 foot counter top from Home Depot then built a sturdy frame. I use mine for reloading so it's a bit heavy. Nice thing about the formica counter top is it wipes clean & nothing is absorbed into it.

In the continuing spirit of caveman level carpentry, here's my table.

I built one from this northern tool kit. It was AWESOME. We used it for build parties. All you do is buy the kit, and then buy the wood. The screws come with it and you screw it all together. The hardest part on these things are the legs and shelving, so they make it easy

If you don't care to build your own, this is what I have:



Sturdy as all get out.

Ordered it from Lone Star Material Handling Packaging in San Antonio.

Cost was around $480.00, incl shipping.
