My reloading bench project
Re: My reloading bench project
Wow, that’s some nice looking butcher block under that ugly utility gray paint.

Re: My reloading bench project
Nothing major around the bench, but, am about to put up some peg board to help unclutter things that seem to be gaining control of my bench.

I hear that, sometimes between work benches and reloading bench’s I find I don’t have one square inch of available horizontal bench space anywhere.

Re: My reloading bench project
Taking a vacation and got back to the bench. Decided to use what was the bottom of the butcher block for the top and I wasn't as careful sanding this surface so I am having to spend a lot of time getting an acceptable finish. I have decided this has got to be maple it is soooo hard but the surface is smooth as glass after 100 grit paper. This will take a long time but I will get it done eventually.

PS, I had to fill a section with epoxy filler and decided to place my initials on it for they heck of it.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: My reloading bench project
I had to use the pour on finish to level the top because it was not completely flat due to age and abuse so I figured I might as well make it look good. I took the time to sand it down and let the wood grain show off a bit.
