I took a few days off from work, and was finally able to work on some projects I had been saving up (I always have more projects than time). One of the projects was to make a small bench to start reloading. I've been putting of getting a press because I didn't have anywhere to put it. Now I've lost that excuse.
I like to keep things inexpensive, and my bench ending up being about $30. Its not to large (~2'x3' and 30" tall), but it fits where I need it. My wife only has some much patience with my taking over our office. It ended up being nicely heavy, and very sturdy. It's made from 10 2x4s and a box of 2.5" screws (+ wood glue). The significant joints are dado'ed, half-lapped, or rabbeted as well as glued and screwed.
