Very similar to what i had in mind except it will house a few jacks and a air compressor under so no shelf. I plan on putting cabinets above the table for towels and such. Just want it to look as nice as it performs. Hopefully ill have something to show this afternoon, as i plan on starting today!

Guy on Msgunowners.com had a bunch of counter tops he was giving away. I got 2 of them to finish off my reloading room. "blemished" so they said. We loooked them over and couldnt find anything.

Thanks nonnie for the link! I joined but i think i want something a little different. I am going to attach it to the wall for one side and use 4x4 post for two legs and build a solid frame to attach the counter top i found like the one i posted the pic of. Its gonna be used for simple stuff not anything extremely heavy and I want to attach a vice and put my grinder/polishing wheel on it also!

I cant rem if he has any more but they were 30x60 and 1.5" thick. Similar to what my reloading stuff is already on. Just use bolts with fender washers instead of screws. The pressed wood doesnt take screws all that great.
