    I don’t have a good picture for it all, but I do have a video of my man cave I’ve been working on.

    mf79 may not be fancy or elaborate but it will certainly get the job done.

    That is scarily neat and clean. How can you stand to go in there? (If you're seeing overpowering GREEN, that is my envy peeking out of my eyes.)

    gnappi,

    I see a Dial ‘O grain scale lurking in there!

    I sure like mine. After 35 years bending over to squint at a 505, I ended up with a 510, 1010 and then a 304 Dial ‘O Grain with in a few months!

    Go figure!

    I'm loading some 45 years give or take, finding stuff is a continuous quest.

    I found some in local newspaper ads (one on my Star lubri sizers... remember news papers?) at garage sales (the 450 and many parts) the BIG MAX and MEC on Craig's list. Sorry to say my son has no interest in firearms so my bench will one day likely cleaned and dumped, the safe will be emptied to predators at pawn and gun shops.
    Regards,

    Well, if I had off spring with no interest in guns I would plop them down wearing nothing but Trump periphenailia in the middle of a BLM protest and let them battle their way out!

    They’d be “gun folk” after that excursion!

    With regards to gun control in this country, everyone should be asking themselves one question:
    What is it that this government feels they need to do, but can't do, unless the citizens of this nation are first disarmed?
    (I seriously doubt you can come up with any plausible answers that you will like...)

    Here are a few pictures of mine. It isn’t finished, I put 5 coats of polyurethane on the top tonight and hope to assemble it this weekend. Built out of cedar, didnt want to bring pressure treated wood in the house. Top is a solid core door, 1 3/4” thick. 11 fat fifty ammo cans will fit on each side on the bottom shelf. I don’t think it will move. 80” long 32” deep and 34” tall. My presses at Redding T7 and a Rockchucker are on strong mounts. I plan on adding a box cabinet to the back edge of the top to store stuff and take up some of the depth. Click image for larger version.

    Just finished setting-up a 750XL, which replaced my 30-year old 550B. Also added a couple 40mm Bofors rounds on the top shelf that surround the Quick-Measure I use to load cannon charges with.

    This is my work in progress. Added the louvered panels to the wall to use Akro style bins and make a few custom tool holders that will fit the pattern. I also use the Inline Fab mount and move my presses around when needed. The toolbox under the bench is a old one IClick image for larger version.
