Just got into reloading and at the point where I am building my reloading bench. Had a couple of totally beginner questions so I hopefully get this right the first try. I was looking at building something about 6 feet wide, maybe 24" - 30" deep. I could go narrower if that's too much, but I can't go bigger due to space constraints and wife complaints.
1) Does anybody know of a place in Pensacola to buy a good, thick wood top? The only thing I know of to do is go to Home Depot or Lowes, but I know they don't have anything much thicker than a half inch, usually. Is something thicker than that even necessary?
2) I'm right handed. Where does it make the most sense to put the press from left to right on the bench? Center? More to the left or right? Doesn't really matter? Just trying to put the least amount of holes in this thing.
Any other bench suggestions are welcome. At this point I am asking only what I can think of to ask. What I don't know could fill a library at this point. Thanks!
