    Default Your home built bench

    Looking for pics of your home built benches...not necessarily just workbenches in general but one that YOU BUILT.

    It looks like my wife (married last week ) and I will be moving into our own home sometime early next month which means I can finally set up a bench and start reloading....would like to build my own bench and was just curious to see others' work.

    Thanks!

    it should run low 10s around 130-135 MPH with around a 1.4 to a 1.3 short time, Ive been working on getting everything back together. Im probably going to have to go to a 28 inch tall tire tho and put 3:90 gears in the rear for it to hook.

    This is the bench I work off of, the storage shelves on the side go all the way down the side of the garage.
