Thread: Built my first handloading bench using recycled pallets

Wee update,

So my bench is almost complete, I screwed in some M8 thread wood inserts, and mounted the press to a quick detach style plywood 'plate'. The back of it is recessed for t-nuts so it doesn't scratch up the bench. My next step is to get a custom steel plate with holes drilled to fit to go between the bench and the wooden 'plate' the press is attached to, to prevent flex.

Also sealed the top with 3 coats of spare resene matte polyurethane I had lying around

That way I can still use the bench as a desk if need be
