Being a connoisseur neat woodwork and not worth a hoot at making my own, one of my favorite pastimes while the wife is shopping in the city is to find neat old cabinets in the second hand stores for my reloading room.

Couple of my recent finds that cost a little over $100 combined. Couldn't even get buy the varnish for that.

Me too. Had that up to the counter so fast didn't even bother looking for more.
Even has a fold up top lid with a mirror so I can make sure I look purty while reloading.

That’s important. You can also set your wrapped bullets there for picture purposes. Get both sides at the same time. The possibilities are endless.

Love them. Got a soft spot for real wood cabinets. My in-laws are cabinet makers and I’ve been known to dabble in wood work. Building some tables and stools from an old sweet gum and oak we took down a couple years ago at the moment. The cost of this stuff has gone insane and has been since 2019. 1qt of the finish I’m using costs $60. You got a decent deal!

turned the top part into sight storage.
Need to repaint that top ledge a lighter color so I can see my apertures easier.

I was going to ask you to open it. That is really nice. Is the bottom like a file cabnet?
Thanks for the pictures

No, just like the one with the camming tools, except a little deeper.

They really are nice cabinets. With the flip up lid, the shelving and drawers.

They really do work well for storage and display of your tools and supplies. I can see why you were in a hurry to get them out door. Before someone else made the same discovery.
