I got some 3/4 and 1/2" plywood left from tha shed do-over. I'm thinkin that this stuff glued and screwed together would make a suitable top.
What are your thoughts?

I like 2x6's bolted to a very sturdy base for my work benches.

If your legs are solid you will have a super strong reloading table. See there was a good side in building your own reloading shop. :grin:

Both of my reloading benches are 3/4 plywood glued and screwed together. Bottom layer is cheapo CDX plywood and top layer is AC ply. This has been a great top very durable and nice to look at.

I added and relocated equipment and glued in dowels where holes in bench where, hit with a belt sander and touched up polyurethane finish. So the bench is easily repaired as my interests change and grow.

Laminated ply top is a great way to go.
