finally got the bench built

Post by dhollis51 on Sun Jun 12, 2011 5:00 pm

well dad finally decided to give me all his reloading stuff that he bought about a year ago and never set up. so me and him spent the afternoon building the bench for all of it as well. I have a whole spare room for whatever I want since it is my house and am single and have no one to argue with about what goes in it.

here is the bench


and here is my messy desk for everything else.



and dad is bringing everything over so I can set it up this week I hope.

what yall think? anything I miss?

Looks plenty sturdy, that's number one. Good storage space as well, that's number two.

WHAT...... No stain and varnish....? SLACKER..... Smile

That looks like a very good design. The depth should help stablize the bench. If it moves too much for you, try anchoring it to the wall.

A house by yourself is a BIG PLUS....... Smile

Nice bench. As far as living by yourself, who do you holler at to fix you something to eat or bring you a beer?

Looks good so far. Must be nice to have a "reloading room" inside the house. Oh well, at least my wife understands my "hobbies" and enjoys them too lol
