Small space work bench

[realunlucky]

Roksliders looking for a small space work bench/station recommendation.

Intended use will be reloading, mounting archery press, working on "guns" basically any hobby related tasks will be in and around this space.

Obviously storage is preferred but being solid is paramount. Not afraid to spend some money but as with anything, being cheaper frees up funds for other stuff.

Thinking about these as harbor freight is down the road but open to whatever your using that works.

A buddy of mine has that Yukon model from HF. Very sturdy. If I hadn't built my own, I'd buy that.

I assume the 3 drawer work bench?

Kind of confusing since they are both Yukon branded.

Yes the 3 drawer model.

I have the older 4 drawer version of the second one and it’s been great. It’s my reloading bench and I drilled some holes to mount my barrel vise to it. Very happy with it.

Adding- if you plan to work on guns and your bow I would not get one with wheels personally unless you absolutely need to have it mobile.

I had one of these:

I added casters to make it mobile:

I drilled two holes in it for a reloading press, and then another 4 for a vise. It was very sturdy, well built, and served its purpose while I had it. No storage obviously.

I just bought a 42" Husky, similar to the Yukon you have suggested, for my gunsmithing bench. I like the drawers better than shelves, but to each their own. I agree with the comments that for the money and quality, it's superior to building your own.

Was going to ask a similar question as I want to reload and live in a tiny apt.

I’d vote for mobile work bench due to storage and I personally didn’t care for the wooden one. We had both in a shop because of deals and all

I'm not sure where this workbench is going, but if you intend on reloading, I'm not sure I would like a mobile work bench for that. Then again, I've only reloaded/worked on guns on a nice, heavy stationary workbench.

I have some of that shelving and it doesn't feel to substantial.

Do you think locking the wheels will hold it in place while using the leverage of the reloading handle?

It all depends on how you intend to use it. I like to sit comfortably on a stool while reloading, with my knees under the bench. Many people like to stand while working the press. In that case knee space is not needed. The Yukon Hardwood bench seems like a better starting point to me than anything that has castors. The most sturdy, unwavering bench that you can get will work.
