[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3854680, member: 24867"] Here it is. Nothing very special, but it suits my needs. I have a taller workbench to the left that has most of my reloading rig on it. I put in some Wal-Mart plastic storage drawers underneath it to hold some of the larger stuff. I use this same bench for other reloading tasks, and have my Dillon Swage and a single stage press on mounting plates now that I can still use on this bench when necessary. [ATTACH type="full"]301765[/ATTACH] Thank you for the compliment. I haven't forgotten about your pocket watch.
