I am contemplating building me a new reloading bench (needs to be custom designed since the area is an awkward shape). I have my designs, but thinking about the top construction. Trying to keep this budget minded, so here is my thought process so far:
1. A laminated counter top with square edges vice curved.
2. A piece of 3/4 plywood or two glued together.
3. A solid core door cut to fit.
I have used the doors before, but true solid wood core doors (that can withhold their structural integrity) are hard to find around here. The plywood is an option, but not sure if I need one or two pieces. Not sure if the laminated counter-top would be strong enough (the pre-made types found in Lowes).
I am thinking if I go with the door or the plywood, gluing a sheet of laminate over top to help with cleaning and such.
Any ideas?
