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! GoodOlBoy

GOB,
Every gun owner needs a reloading room/cave. I bought this old farm house 20 years ago last Saturday and FINALLY got all my stuff in one of the 4 bedrooms upstairs. Actually, I have a gun room where I clean guns and have my trophies. The reloading room is nearby and has two benches, 4 press and all my tools and component stuff. I have a huge barn and 4 large sheds, in case of future need to stash stuff. Adam

Yep too bad I would have to reinforce the floor to put a good gun safe in it. Would love to be able to do that as well.
My brother still has some of his stuff stored off camera to the left, and in the closet in the room. Once he has it out I will get a few more feet of floor space and the closet back. The room is about a 12 x 11 not considering the closet. I think it will do for a good long time. GoodOlBoy

GOB, one thing I can assure you of. Whatever space you have for important things like reloading, gun storage, fly tying, or whatever you happen to choose as a hobby - you will fill it to overflowing in a short time.
It's Man Law. Trust me.

BTW, GOB, if you put that bench in the middle of the wall, rather than in the corner, you could hang reloading tools off the sides, too- not just on the front and one side.
