    You could try Second Chance in Baltimore. They salvage items from older houses, and for kitchen cabinetry, complete sets from folks who are doing large-scale remodels. I was there last year and they had quite a few complete kitchen cabinet setups. The disadvantage is that they are complete and may have more items than you need.

    They're in downtown B'more, near the Horseshoe Casino

    Finally got enough pieces and parts together to start reloading attempts. Here's my version of reloading/firearm cleaning area. The workbench only cost $37.00 as I "found" some old Lowe's gift cards that I'd stashed away and forgot about. Still have to arrange/organize a few things but enough done to begin.

    Can't see all the components as they're behind me on the shelving, but I finished up building my second portable folding bench today. First one was built two years ago and has held up really well. Decided to build a second one for the Load All II so I didn't have to unbolt the Pistol and Rifle kit from the other bench. All in, it's about $30 max in materials and that's just because I had to buy more carriage bolts and plywood. Folds up when not in use, which gives me a lot more space in the shop.

    $20 HF knockoff of a Black and Decker Workmate
    $5 in carriage bolts, washer, and nuts
    $5 in 3/4" plywood.

    Got the idea here: http://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/gun-shots/diy-how-build-compact-reloading-bench

    If that was mine I'd hang the plaques on the wall and the Hornady clock on the wall too. Looks nice though.

    After finishing our renovation and addition last year, I've been slowly building out my workshop, including my reloading bench. Tonight, I finally bolted down the presses and got some reloading done -- 300 rounds of .45 acp. The benchtop is made from a solid core commercial door I found at Second Chance in B'more. I cut it down to fit the space, then ripped a band of red oak for the trim. The legs are actually from the previous bench, made of glued-up and milled construction lumber. Here's the pic:

    My reloading/cleaning bench. A Redding Big Boss and Lee Classic Turret. Currently reloading 4 rifle calibers and 3 pistol. If I start shooting more I'll probably buy a Dillon, but these two keep me up to speed no problem.
