First things first. I didn't build it, I bought it. They could do it cheaper than I coulda bought tha material.
Second thing, well, it is more straight and plumb than most of my work, BUT, it aint plumb or square.
Gonna build tha bench this week, tha hen is pushin fer a completion date.

Will, when it was time for a new reloading bench, I gave my youngest son (in high school at the time) graph paper, a ruller and a pencil.  I  told him I wanted it to be sturdy and I wanted shelves.  He drew out his plan, I got him the materials, he made all the cuts and we put it together.  I could drop truck engines on this thing all day long, and I mean Semi trucks!!!!!  I guess I learned a lesson:  Be Careful What You Wish For!!!!
Good luck with your bench.
