Bought it used for $150. It has an accordion type door that pulls down from the top and locks the whole desk closed. I'll take a photo of it closed tomorrow and post.

You make me sick with your buying skills. Joking of course.

To have it made would cost a couple thousand. Perfect here as locking the roll top would mean any ammo on the desk is legally locked away.

I'm guessing it is a taller version of a old fashioned roll top practitioner's desk.

I've two desks, used as desks. Or filled with junk. One an antique oxblood practioners desk. An angled writing desk, which acts as a hinged lid, storage underneath. Just four long legs. And a glass fronted cabinet on top. It even has two small candle holders.

The other is a modern wooden cabinet. A filing cabinet drawer and a storage door box at the bottom. Then above two large doors opening to reveal a desk like shelf above a slide out desk shelf for writing. Am open shelf inside at the top.

One an antique the other is too weak for any press. But fine for general stuff, weighing charges etc.

I also have a very large jarrah desk with a very long return. Once used by a top barrister here in a legal firm I worked for. And bought when they renovated. It is supposed to be in my study but in storage currently.

I reload with a press either outside on the verandah on a steel bench. Or a portable plastic folding work bench with wood planks clamped to add solidity.

One day I'll convert a desk section in my inbuilt wardrobe in my study into an internal reloading bench. Might need more strength? The plastic workbench can be used when needed? I sometimes reload at my city house so my reloading setup is like mediaeval furniture. Portable and in tool boxes.

Yes please post photos. Thanks.

Back to that lovely shotgun.
