Talking My new (old) gun bench!

7 Years ago this Ash topped workbench was "thrown away" at a place I worked. I grabbed it and stored it at an in-laws for six years, then on my grandmothers front pourch for a year, and finally my wife (God Bless her!) gave me the go ahead to use the itty bitty tiny second guest room in our double wide for a "man cave" (Arh arh arhhh). Got the bench in place last night, and started wandering around the house picking up various gun related items and hauling them in. Round about trip #9 I realized that if I ever wanted a picture of this thing before it was hidden under piles of tools and parts I better snap it. So I whipped out the cell phone and took a REALLY bad quality snap shot of it.

My own private gun space that will someday soon have a small attached side table with my presses mounted to it for reloading!

Yes this is double posted in gunsmithing. I had ta brag sorry.

You don't remember the shelf because the rooms previous tenant was using it as a TV stand on the opposite wall. Now it is back in it's proper place.

Well I only see 1 problem, IT`S TO SMALL!!! You`ll have that filled with reloading stuff in no time and need a bigger table. Or, did you start with this small one just to get your foot in the door.
