Loading bench pics

[PatMarlin]

I don't think how much you own is all that important. It's what you've learned to do with what you do have that is important. Focus on learning new skills, not just accumulating more stuff.

THat is the quote of the month..

Somehow I hadn't gotten mine on this thread...



I can roll it around anywhere and adjust the bench height. The rest of the supplies are in the Wall Locker. or in the Table Tray.

I press out .357 on the 1000, FCD on the Classic Press, and whack out the Lee Loader loads on the vice-anvil on the other side.

All in all a pretty handy setup.

Thanks we like it here. And to have a reloading shack was one of the reasons for getting this place.

[rugerdude]

Decided to clean up a bit and take some pictures of my "doghouse"! NOTE: this is the cleanest it has been in years! Normally you can't see countertop anywhere!

How big is that room , I just sold my house and Im thinking of building a room at the new place my own Cave that looks like the right size for me

[rugerdude]

Interior is 9'x15' with 6' wall height. Exterior dimensions are 10'x16'. Its an older aluminum storage building that my dad had and I decided it would be about right for a reloading/work shop, so I walled it up and put down a heavier floor. Now if I can just get some of the wife's stuff out it will be all mine!

[hotwheelz]

Well if any of you guys have had to move you understand the pain Im goin threw not only the weight but it will 5-6 months unitl I get to set everything back up. Its gonna be hard

here is the bench before


and in its current state


Its all gonna be in storage until the new place is ready

[badgeredd]

FINALLY got the room cleaned up good enough for a few pictures. I wouldn't want you all thinking I'm a slob! Anyway it works for me for now. Like Sundogg1911 says, "a work in progress"

Nice bench, badgeredd. How do you like the Big Max?

[Huntducks]

here is my modest loading room R&P one side Shotgun the other

[testhop]

the clean unclutterd organizer bench is the sign of a sick mind
BUT YHAT SURE LOOK GREAT HOPE TO ONE DAY to have mine look almost as good

[walltube]

My first reloading "bench" post Katrina. See how neat and devoid of clutter...

[badgeredd]

Nice bench, badgeredd. How do you like the Big Max?

Thanks. I love the Big Max. When I got it, RCBS had just come out with it and I decided I wanted the stoutess press I could find. Well I also wanted to get a RockCrusher but as you can see that didn't happen. The nice thing about Max is I can form any thing in it without wondering if it can take it. I'd probably pull the bench loose before the Max! Hopefully when the economy gets better and I'm back to work steady, I will be getting a Dillon to finish off my want list.

WOW I thought I have a lot of reloading stuff. In the area I live RCBS is about the only equipment to buy. My so called reloading room is about 10 to12 square feet total but it works for me. Some of you guys got it ( living in heaven). Need a new buddy I will travel..... lol. This is by far one of the cream of the crop sites that I have found. GOOD JOB TO EVERYONE

bushka.....

I say we all have been there and made do with what got us by. I used to have a cubby hole under the basement stairs (NOT ...that many years ago). Now I'm getting old, I need a few more comforts and I don't have kids at home to use up all of my extra money! Besides, I think the fact you reload is in itself the MOST important thing here. Also note I said I had to clean up my area to get it presentable................and did I ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME .......beanflip!

The house we bought eleven years ago when we moved back to Texas has a 240 square foot stand-alone workshop at the back end of the property. I have it air conditioned and insulated (this is Texas, after all, where we have the Hotter Than Hell bicycle run), got a telephone in it, FIOS cable TV, and stereo. I do woodworking out there, and in less than thirty minutes, can convert the shop to a fully functional photography darkroom.

But the east half is dedicated pretty much to reloading, casting and gun-related stuff.

Here is my casting table--





And here is my reloading bench, ammo/powder storage area and gun cleaning area--

wow...when i started this thread i never dreamed it would go this long. It's really cool to see everyones setup. while I do agree that equipment is only part of the equasion, i've really picked up some great ideas of how to re-org my stuff one the next round.

[ihuntbuck]

yep i am in awe of some of these set ups the dollar amount would give my wife an ulcer

[LAH]

Here's my garage casting setup, not especially well-kempt this evening... the platform for the hotplate is totally custom made and that particular diameter of drill bit is crucial to the mold sitting flat on the burner.

Ballisti Cast luber/sizer? How you like it?.........Creeker
