My reloading bench progress

[CCamp88]

Its not much but Im proud of my work so far. I just started buying my equipment to reload and while I wait on some of my items to get in I decided to give building a table a shot. This is just #2 2x6s to practice on and my first table top glue up. I know its going to get beat up, but I didnt want to mess up a bunch of hardwood on my first attempt. Going to add some power outlets, cabinets and a peg board once I finish the frame.

Nice touch with the rounded edges and milled in rail!

Where did you buy the rail?

I got my recessed T rail on Amazon.

something to consider is putting it on wheels, it gives you options especially if the reloading area is in a shared space....

I had considered this as I have some big casters, but this is going in a mobile office and wont need to be moved. Il prob need them more for when I set my woodworking tools up. Im currently having to drag everything outside at the moment. I am digging the Crown Royal bags! Your setup is super nice.

This is the powertec T track off of amazon. IMO its as good as rocklers offering at a much better price.

Had some time over the weekend to finish the table portion. All done with 2x6 #2 milled and glued with no visable fasteners save a few finish nails on the mitres to hold for clamping. Im going to add some outlets to the backsplash today and figure out a solution for some cabinets. All in all im pleased and proud of my work considering I just pulled the whole design out of my head. Any ideas on a good finish for it?

Good work. I've been wanting to install some sort of mount for my tools (press, Lee trimmer) and was thinking of the flush mount from inline, but maybe I will go with the track!

I really like the track idea. I havent got to use it yet, but just using #8 3/4" screws it seems to be plenty sturdy enough to handle the press. Edit* In hindsight I would have done the railing across the entire length of the table. As it is, if I want to remove the T bolts I will have to slide them out of the one end.

What screws and top thumb nuts are you using to hold trimmer and press onto the tracks?
