A few days ago my friend made me a storage box for my H & I sizing dies and all my top punches.

Here is a link to the article that I wrote a few days ago :

http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?242848-Storage-H-amp-I-and-Top-Punches

A few of you made comments about it being a bit bulky and taking up valuable shelf space.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that many of you were right. So , today my friend Ken & I decided on a remedy to conserve shelf space. It now resides directly underneath my 2 lube-sizers.


Zero wasted shelf space now ! !

Tell me what you think ?

Here is a mini-video. Excuse the slightly blurry image and southern accent.

That is a fantastic idea.

The table that it is attached to was made of 2X4's glued together side by side ( vertical ) to make a thick , solid bench top. The underside of the top was smooth and that feature made attaching the roller glides very simple.

In the past I could have as many as a dozen H & I sizing dies and punches laying around on my table top. NO MORE ! !

Alright fellows, there are no patents on this idea, so get started !

Once yours is completed, post some photos. You won't regret a penny of expense or a minute of time spent on the project.

I'd like to give credit where credit is due. This concept was the brain child of my friend Ken. I thank him for the time and energy he spent on this project. It has made life for me much simpler !

I use LEE sizing dies, and have them in flat clear plastic storage "fishing" type box's with lot's of VCI in them.

zuke :

If you've got the shelf area for that system, it will work.

Most of my shelving was already committed to something else, making this idea a life saver for me.

My "reloading bench" is an older wooden teacher's school desk. Good and solid now after all the glueing and screwing

That is just very, very cool.

And it was hard to stay focused with the jug of Bullseye in the background by the way.

Sorry, I'll be certain to hide that with any future photos............

Can't accuse that puppy of wasting space now! Nice.
