NRMA Reloading Bench

Damn, I'd be afraid to use it! Might mess it up! I got furniture ain't near that nice!

Where did you guys get the sliding hardware?

I can't remember where I got my bypass track for the doors but it is available here. http://www.doityourself.com/invt/7953680

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure I got the sliding hardware at Home Depot. It is just plastic, not very durable.

I could not find the track. I made mine on my table saw.

I didn't bother with the sliding doors. I have enough trouble finding stuff when it's out in the open, let alone behind closed doors.

That's a better way of doing it anyway.

I like the design, but I simplified it and built it in.
As soon as I get the old furnace space sorted out then that will become my archery and bulk storage and most of this clutter will go away.
So here it is: doors closed, doors open, above the bench.

Thats a clever set up there theotherwaldo.

My old workshop bench is 16 foot long. Years ago I used the end of it to build this NRMA style cabinet.

Hi all
I just finished building one of these and am wondering why it's designed to sit so high?
Is the idea to stand up while reloading?

Thanks

The link for the plans don't work for me. Anyone have another link?

I was thinking of doing away w/ the doors as well, as I think it would allow me to only need two sheets of plywood instead of three.

I was also thinking of making the legs shorter so I could use the bench sitting down. I prefer to reload that way.

When I finished my top, I just used the clear matte finish Varethane. It took about three coats to do the job for me and it brings out the color of the wood just fine.

I liked your load test. Nice looking crew you have there.
