Built a Reloading/Work Bench

The frame is 1/4 wall 2x2 angle and all wood work is red oak. The entire thing is free standing and heavy enough that I didn't have to bolt it to the wall. (The wife was happy about that.) The guns were for dramatic effect; tools and gadgets will go on the peg board.

Looks really good. Since its free standing ya might want to watch that your guns don't fall off the pegboard while useing the press. My bench is heavy and also free standing and while useing the press at times oil bottles and such will walk off my top shelf.
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone; I appreciate it. I processed about 400 rounds of .223 brass over the weekend. One thing I immediately noted was how little the bench/shelf moved around while resizing. The original intent of angling the presses was to free up the middle of the work space so I can work on guns, mount scopes, assemble ARs, etc.. but I believe an unforeseen benefit of angling the presses is stability while cranking the handles down. I also tapped the angle iron frame so that if the need arises, I can easily remove the presses from the bench without having to climb under or use more than one wrench.
