In both Speer #13 & 14 manuals they show a picture of a nice reloading bench that can be built from plans purchased from The National Reloading Manufactures Association (www.reload-nrma.com/orderform.html)

I ordered and received the plans but has not yet started construction of the bench.

Has anyone built this bench from these plans?
A few thread down a picture of the A-square bench was posted.
Anyone got some pictures you could post of the finished NRMA bench?

I built it with a few modifacations. I didn't put the doors on the cabinet part because it is in a locked room so I knew I didn't need to keep little fingers out. (that and I am not much of a cabinet maker)
I also made it taller because I am taller than adverage.
On the bottom shelf under the table top I didn't bring it out flush to the front of the bench. I was afraid that I would whack my shins on it while sitting on a stool.

It is a very sturdy bench and you grandkids will enjoying it when you are long gone.

p.s. I can email you a pic or two if you like. I don't think I have them hosted anywhere.

So of course now that you've paid for them I must post the link to the same plans which can be dowloaded for free.



NRMA reloading bench plans

I mean really, you should know by now that most of us here are so cheap we squeak when we walk and if something can be found free or cheap we'll happily share.

I had an old rocking chair building cabinet man build one for me. It turned out very nice. I did put the doors on it, but left the center section open. Caution, make sure you reduce the depth a little if you want it to fit through interior doors. I had this inside my old house, but it will not fit through some of the doors at the new house. It looks better set up. These pics was taken before I unpacked everything. It's amazing what plywood can look like with stain and poly urethane

That's a nice looking. Currently I have just a flat table for a bench and all my components are kept in the closet of my office. I like the storage space. I may do something like this.

I'm thinking about building a new reloading bench myself, but am leaning toward the Wiley Clapp bench:
