Reloading table

My last kid just moved out of of the house. My wife and I are loving it with the extra room. We had decided that it would be used for our hobbies. Her's is sewing and mine guns.
Before I would have to clamp my press to the dinning room table to use it. Some times it would be up for 2 or 3 days and we would eat around it. I had this steel equipment table I had been using until the tool I had on it bit the dust. After that it collected junk.
Before. After I cleaned the junk off it
After some cleaning and paint
The press is removable by taking off 4 bolts making it a multi use table.
Never mind the cat. That's Dumb-Dumb she is with me where ever I'm at. The only cat I know that waits for at the door for me to come home and jumps in my lap as soon as I'm in a chair.

Classic converted an old desk to a reloading table...the drawers come in handy for all the books, dies, dippers etc...
By the way, you might want to change the cat's name...After all she cant be too dumb..she picked you guys..

For a not too expensive work bench may I suggest Harbor Freight.
That is similar to the one I built about 29 years ago. But I built drawers all the way down on mine. Work bench and reloading table. Large metal vice, no woodworking vice on it. Used 2x12's for the top.
bobbyroses512, nice table.
Can you open the drawer with the press in place?
If not, you might want to consider a little thick base board...
You could then keep the little items in the drawer while you're loadin',
Pullin' 'em out as you need to without having to move the press...
Good for you...
Like the dumb-dumb too... [;)]

When I was building the table I did think about adding 4" so the drawer would clear the drawer. The higher I would it would cause more leverage. Afraid that I might make it unstable. The 4 bolts are really easy to take out so if there is something in the drawer I need it is easy to get.

Loaded some .38 and 9mm with no problem. Center of gravity is low. Not sure how it will do with rifle cases. I really don't want to put holes in the walls. If needed 2 or 3 full ammo cans should solve the problem.

How sturdy are those?

Is that a solid top grumpy...what do those run?...probably cheaper than I could build a similar one for.

What kind of vibrator is that JustC?
It is a Dillon vibrator. Got it, the seperator tub, and some bullets for $50[:D]
You thief! I wish I lucked into deals like that! [:p][:D]
JustC -- looks like you might have put some thought into that even before you started working on it! Beautiful ... one that looked that good, could readily go into my family room, living room, or bedroom! I don't know how it'd feel, being in the garage or a workshop. Great job!
