    Indy, that website you linked to has some interesting designs.

    I like the look of that table you built. One problem I've seen on pedestal tables before is that the top can be a bit wobbly if the pedestals aren't sufficient. Would you characterize this design as solid?

    Beyond a shadow of a doubt.... We are moving soon so I only have 8 screws holding the top on now, and its solid as a rock... Once I REALLY secure it at the new place where I wont have to take it back apart after 8 weeks it will be as solid as any other table out there.

    Good. I showed your work to my wife and she liked it. We've been needing a dining room table for awhile and I might use this design for it. :thumbsup:

    Your table looks plenty solid enough to clamp a reloading press, and roomy enough to set a progressive shotshell reloader. Sure beats winter reloading in a cold garage. Good job.

    I have no idea what a cold garage is... Mine is heated... we are moving to a place w/ a pole barn that's uninsulated, and has no power... and we wont have a garage for a while, let alone be able to afford to insulate it and heat it... Soooo, you might be onto something.
