Reload Bench Top Cabinet

Something that I whipped up from some plans somebody here posted.
This is just the top cabinet of the reloading bench. A little skeptical at first...but now consider this a MUST HAVE item.
My garage can be used for everything - reloading, engine rebuilding, to woodwork. I have never had the opportunity or space to take advantage of having a place for everything and everything in it's place...so I am REALLY trying to take advantage of it. (as in..keeping everything clean, organized, and put away). I have one problem going against me...kind of...but I have moved four times in the last seven years....and most, if not all items were packed by "professional movers"...needless to say...when you open a box...it is like buying a pile of boxes at an auction for one item that you see poking out of one box. Nothing damaged....but I just found some brand new 44 mag brass...packed with...what else...wrapping paper. These items were not even in the same room..oh well.
My cost was extremely cheap. They have a public school auction every year. As they update classrooms....out with the old..and in with the new. This year, handmade L shaped computer centers - eight foot by eight foot...all made out of some very nice grade 3/4" plywood (7 layer stuff, finished on one side, laminated on the other). Cost for one computer center - $5 (I bought seven of them).
About $3 in screws, $11 in shelf rails & brackets, and $6 in trim. $25 in a cabinet that is 24" high, 12" deep, & 72" long.
The handles for the sliding doors will be some berdan primed 7.62x39 shells.
