While it would have looked nicer, maybe he didn't want it or felt it was necessary.

Also going to hang another shop lamp up above and install a ceiling mount double outlet.
I'm not trying to be an ass but just offering constructive criticism.
Installing a couple of sheets of drywall would go a long way in producing a much better looking reloading area. Your total cost would have gone up by maybe $75.00 including a can of primer and a couple of hours worth of labor
FastCougar-Looks great ... a little word of advice: If you are going to forgo the front legs, make sure you lag bolt rear legs to studs in the wall. If your legs don't align with wall studs, I'd opt to lag a 2x4 or even a 4x4 between the last two legs (nearest the press) and then cross bolt those 2 legs to this wall brace. I have found that my bench will slightly rock if I press down hard enough in my rhythm. I'm waiting to install drywall before doing this, but I have found that it's needed with my setup, you might find the same. Great stain matching with the old toolbox! Kudos
blarby with the duct tape light mount for the winner.
Right out of Red Green.
Thats what a hot glue gun is for! I had to do it to a light just like that in my old reloading room.Look closely....its duct tape OVER zip ties.... that son-of-a-gun just wont stay STILL !
