I am looking for ideas on a reloading bench/desk setup, I did a search on here and most of the post are old and pictures will not show. The wife gave me the green light to make the spare bedroom into a reloading /gun room. I am looking for more of a desk type setup that will not break the bank. I was told my current table I use now that is in the garage is not allowed in the room lol.

Are you planning a trip to the east side of the state? I can hook you up with a tabletop. All you would need are the 4x4's and 2x4's for legs and supports.

I built my second bench out of wood doors. I'm talking the solid core commercial/institutional doors like you'd find in a school or office building. Did a simple 2x4 frame under it with angled legs back to the base of the wall. Under my presses, I ran a piece of 1 inch steel pipe straight down to the concrete floor and terminated the pipe with boiler flanges. No movement makes everything work much better. Well worth the extra effort.

Ripped the doors to 24" wide.

Got the doors from an Architectural door and hardware company, which I know have an office in the Pittsburgh area. They change doors out, and often bring the old ones back to their warehouse(s). I got 3 - 7 foot doors for nothing. One is a spare, so I have a 14 foot long bench. Oodles of room.

With the Polar Vortex upon us, I decided to marginally straighten out the reloading bench in prep for doing up some .44 mags.
I'll address a few concerns I have in another thread.

I took an old desk and even older metal wall cabinet and bolted them to the wall.
I took a piece of 3/8" by 8 inch wide plate and drilled holes in it to secure it to the wall for mounting the powder thrower and press.

You made a good choice.

you can paint, stain, or otherwise tart up a workbench like the one I linked above in order to make it more palatable.
