I am brand new to reloading, but it sounds like a great way to enhance my shooting hobby.
Yesterday I placed an order for a Lee Pro 1000 kit, configured for 9mm, from Cabelas and scoured the internet for bench plans.
I have zero carpentry skills, so I settled on what looks like a sturdy but simple design found here (Item #3, Workbench with Shelves):

I printed out the plans, drove to home depot, found a guy working near the wood cutting area and showed him the plan. He pulled all of the wood I would need and proceeded to cut it all to length according to the printout.
All that's left is for me to assemble it, which I will no doubt find some way to screw up
.
Wish me luck!
