Building a bench—questions!

[Benny]

This is a 2013 picture. Only one I have.
The bottom is on casters, made from 3/4" plywood and 1x4's, glued and screwed, stained and coated with polyurethane. 24"w x 48"w x 30"h.
The top is 1x6's with 1/4" backboard.
It is extraordinarily strong, holds much reloading tools and components and mobile if need be to fit through interior doors.
Note the trimmer, powder dispenser and a few other tools are mounted to a wood base and are fastened with carriage bolts and wing nuts to the counter top base and easily removed.

That looks nice Benny! I thought about making mine wheeled, but am glad I didn’t. It was super wobbly when I put mine on the carpet. High pull carpet, didn’t even think about it. I added bumpers on the back, slid it right to the wall and put two 4” deck screws into the stud; problem solved! Had I done casters it never would have worked for my situation.

I am trying to figure out a good placement for powder measure, scale and trimmer. Not sure I want to permanently mount any of them yet until I spend a few more hours at the bench, but I do know I want them solid and secure when I am using them
