Loading bench pics

[NavyVet1959]

All those super clean loading benches were starting to be depressing, now THAT looks a lot like my bench!

Well, all of ours *start out* as clean... And then we start adding stuff to them...

Eventually, we run out of desktop space...

Aint that the truth!

I usually have it somewhat clean, not perfect but enough to work on. It is a little small but it was on clearance at lowes for $40 and my garage is so small I cannot fit much else in there.

You make do with the space you have. Nothing wrong with that or that set up. Mine is just as messy.

It's the law of flat surfaces. Any flat surface will collect stuff! My bench can be clean one day and a couple of days latter it is covered with stuff! I have a table that I set up to clean guns and if I don't take it down as soon as I'm done it collects stuff too!

Tell me about it! I've got a lift for my motorcycle and most days it's just another table full of stuff in my shop. When I need it I have to figure out where to put all the stuff on it temporarily.

I watch youtube while reloading. I pull the RCBS 505 out of there while typing.

Humm it would take me a week to find the bench and the rest of the month to clean up enough for a picture..

GONRA noted this that should be useful some of you guys.
(Would like to get one for a REALLY NEAT "powder measuring station" but can't really justify it now.)

Only 80 lbs? A bit on the light side as far as I'm concerned. I'm not sure how much mine weighs, but I suspect that it does create a gravitational anomaly.

My bench has changed appearance over the years. Here it is in its semi-final form:

Long-view


The left half w/ a Hollywood, a Ponsness-Warren, and a Dillon


And the right-half filled with Hollywoods and a Phelps

Looking good, Kevin! Quite the collection of Hollywood turrets.

Loading bench revision 8-12-16, added a shelf in the middle, holding the toolbox and a few other things. Needs cleaning up, it's kinda messy.

You've got to be kidding! I see acres of empty benchtop.

I am curious about your scale setup though. When I got my used Dillon RL550, I mounted it in such a hurry that I didn't have access to my scales. Looking for ideas now.

[DerekP Houston]

Ain't fancy but there she is! Cleaned up a tad bit before the shot...it is usually covered in more stuff.

[mold maker]

If my bench had that much vacant space, It would include a sign.
"FOR RENT"

"I am curious about your scale setup though. When I got my used Dillon RL550, I mounted it in such a hurry that I didn't have access to my scales. Looking for ideas now."

The RCBS 10-10 scale is sitting on a piece of 1/2 maple plywood, I just move it out on the table when I load. The plywood has threaded inserts and 3 screws for leveling. When I am through I just break it down and move it to the location shown.

My poor humble bench. It's not much but it works. From 2 repurposed desks. The worktop came from an industrial desk and is 1.125" thick and solid as a rock. Press doesn't flex a bit and is at just the right height that I can sit and still comfortably still see into the cases.

Nice to see someone else that keeps things clean and organized. I have no clue how some people get any work done on their benches w/ all the clutter. My label maker is one of the tools I use most often.
