David, It's good to see pictures while you can still see most of the work surface! ;)

Looking good but where is the fold out shelf for the powder scale, I thought that was a really good idea.

OSB does have a tendency to compress, I would face the press area with a dense solid wood to keep the press from sinking into the OSB.
I have had mixed results with poly coating, my next bench will have a formica top, likely a preformed counter top section with considerable reinforcing under it.
It really makes no difference what you top it with, after 6 months no one will ever see the top again.

" a preformed counter top section with considerable reinforcing under it."

  Great idea!!              Just don`t forget the lip !  :laugh:

The preformed tops have a raised roll front edge.

I opted to leave that out, I did not think it made that much difference. I would rather just have the scale on the bench. I can however always add it in. I though I would use the remaining wall space for hanging whatever needs to be hanged.

I will probably stick with that top for now. Getting anxious to just get it all up and running.

does it really get that bad? God Bless.

Ayup.

A tour of the man-cave, On the left you can see the handle of the #45 Lyman sizer/lubricator, then further to the right you can see the old Herters turret press. (I know the model but itr's eluding me right now) with a herters powder measure above it And center stage is the Bonanza/Forster COAX, with a Lyman #55 powder measure above it. And then we have two Lee Pro1000 progressives. One in 40S&W and the other in 45ACP. Yes, I know you an easily change calibers, but I don't want to. :greentongue:

RJ, just how many hours did it take you to get it that clean?

What. That is clean. There's a path from the door to the chair. :yes: Most importantly, by the scissors is the remote to the cd player/radio.

Under the remote and the scissors is my gun vise. Note the padding? It's an old wood vise that works very well for holding of firearms wilst cleaning.

By the way, you DON'T want to see the other corner, huh Paul.
