    Jim you need more drawers to hide that stuff in and keep dust off. I WOULD SEND A PICTURE OF MY BENCH BUT AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH COMPUTER NOT READING CAMERA OR SD CARD?
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    My bench is far from being clean, from an outsider's (wife's) point of view. Even most of you I am sure would say it is beyond a train wreak, so I won't bother posting a photo of it to save my wife the embarrassment, but like I tell her, "I know exactly where everything is and it always goes back in the exact same spot that I picked it up from, when I am finished using it." Yes I have die boxes, primer boxes, priming tools, case trimmers and primer pocket reamers laying about the top of my work bench, but even though I haven't been in their for a week or more I still know where every tool, boolit and bullet type are with out really looking.

    Best wishes from the Boer Ranch,

    Joe

    P.S.
    The rumors of my disappearance have been greatly exaggerated and I am still lurking in the shadows.

    Here's mine:



    It is not always looking like this, but . . . since it is in our bedroom . . . my wife "suggests" I clear it up every once in awhile!

    My bow is not in the picture, but a bow shaped rattlesnake skin . . . I only had 4' X 2.5' of board . . . so I just bent it some . . . !

    I don't feel so bad now except for post 17--that makes me uncomfortable.

    Looks more like a bar than a loading bench. Way too high-class. (Don't look until I stop turning green.)

    No bow here. Can't hit the broadside of a barn from the inside with one.

    Stick with that story. It's a good one.

    That's just where it happens to lean right.

    Mine was neat, twice, didn't last that long. Shop the same way. Hardly a flat surface anywhere.

    Your benches look neat compared to mine!!!!! Just ask my wife, she will tell you the same thing

    Jim, need to make those two new booliteers come back and clean up the bench after they're done doing whatever it is they were doing there. Least now you have someone to blame the mess on What an odd assortment of 'stuff'.

    Yep, I'd say that looks about right. Get it too clean and folks will think your slacking.

    I couldn't work the way some of those desks are, so neat and clean.

    Ever see a picture of Einsteins desk. And I bet he knew where every paper was at.

    Last time I saw my bench top, I was bent way over looking up.
    It's been years since I could bend over that far, and get back up without help.
    Come to think of it, my mind is just as cluttered.
    Just too much stuff in both.
