Loading bench pics

[edadmartin]

Heres my new reloading bench in the garage. I thought it perfect to reuse my old school wood working bench . So far it fits just fine.

Those are 1 1/4" thick Resin Top Lab grade tables that I salvaged from work. The top on the big one probably weights close to 800lbs. It took 3 of us to move it. Its not going anywhere.

WOW! I thought my 2' thick electrical grade particle board top was heavy. It only weighs about 200 lbs. Sure does dampen vibration though.

Photographs sure are deceiving. That top doesn't look that thick until you look closely at the tools mounted on it.

The pictures are deceiving. It doesn't look it but that table is exactly 4ft x 8ft. Its a very hard, dense resin. I destroyed three 1/4" drill bits drilling the holes to mount the equipment. I was told I'd have to use a diamond blade if I wanted to cut it. It almost fell when we were unloading it out of the truck & if it had, it would've killed the wife. Im never moving it again. If I move, it'll stay with the house.

I like. Pretty effective for other projects and has a history.

Well done.

Thought now would be a good time to update our picture, since our last post on this thread we've switched the presses to a different bench and made a little bit more room, plus we've added a few new tools, like a star universal press, thumler's tumbler, hornady powder measure, and most recently our Christmas gifts, a lee melting pot and lyman 4500!

Figured I would update my pic too. Still got a couple presses I would like to mount.



This pic is from the panoramic option on my phone. It is hard to see.

How can they be so clean? I've got junk all over the place.

it's called organization 725

[flashhole]

It's a mindset. Use it, clean it up. It will be ready for the next time.

A very simple explanation that most people won't understand.

Griff, may I ask why you have the Mec loader's handles held in the down position?

Mud daubers and wasps WILL build nests in any exposed cavity. Benches are out in the barn. where controlled access is nigh impossible.

Well that stinks, you got to fight rust and pests. I just couldn't figure out why you did that, Thanks.

Might as well throw my mess on here too.



This one is taken with the panoramic feature on the camera. It distorts things a bit but it gives a more complete view:

Lots of nice rooms shown here recently.
Keep 'em coming guys.

@Ultramag
How long you lived around Clinton?
My parents aren't far from you.
They are 4 miles southeast of Calhoun...

[Dan Cash]

Now there is an environment in which I could function. When I have a fit of organization, it takes 6 months to find all the equipment and good stuff.

Born and bred as they say. Been here my whole life. Used to run with quite a few folks from over around Calhoun/Windsor area back in my wild days.
