What did you do in the reloading room today?

It's actually a laminate that just looks like granite. I glued the laminate on over 2 thicknesses of 3/4" particle board. It's pretty sturdy. I'm using off-the-rack kitchen cabinets from Home Depot as the base. The white shelving is 3 sections of bookcase from Ikea. One of these days I'll post a pic or two of my bench with all the details.

The bench is located in a second bedroom in my basement so I wanted it to look reasonably presentable in the event I ever have to use the bedroom for guests. The granite-looking laminate is an exact match for the actual granite countertop in my mini-kitchen area located in a different part of the basement. I just couldn't stomach the cost of real granite for my reloading bench!

Definitely looks very nice and wife-friendly.

I envision something similar/comparable in your house soon.

My wife and I just had another conversation tonight about whether or not it would be a good idea to finish the basement. My dad has supposedly had an old Mosler bank vault door stashed in the basement of his office he said I could have. I wonder how much it would cost to haul that sucker up the rickety old stairs and drive it back from Nebraska for a nice sized vault/reloading room. It's an old sucker, grandpa had it way back when he was a small town banker. Aaaah, dreams. Sigh. Have been spending an awful lot lately on stuff for myself, including all that Dillon stuff that's on the way. I should probably focus for a few months on selling some guns instead of buying them.

That would definitely be sweet. My opinion: Worth it in the long run, if you plan on staying at that house.

Sacrilege, I say!!

Steel fire / security door. The hinges are accessible to remove from the inner side only. . Weld a plate down the lock / dead bolt side so no one can use pry bars to wedge open.
