my bench
the first reloading bench I made custom used 3/4 melamine doubled. it was glued and screwed together. the screws were installed from the bottom and didn't go all the way thru. legs were 4X4 crossmembers were 2X4. to pu the top to the frame I put pieces of 2X4 flat to the melamine and screwed them on then went all the way thru the cross members in the 2X4 that was already afixed to the top. Where the press was to be put I used more 4X4 under the top and used lug bolts into it from above holding the press on. no flex in the top. when I worked the press. Storage is in cheap three shelf cabinets I picked up at wallmart. I stacked them. small parts and brass I store in recycled soft butter tubs. large and small. For smaller stuff I have used bottles my RX pills come in. Computer labels either printed or hand scribbles for lables. Ackro bins are nice of you can get them cheap. I lucked into some from a hardware store that closed it doors.
