Loading bench pics

What you see is just a small part of the room. All four walls are covered along with a large part of the floor.

Finally got a round to taking pics of my bench with equipment set up, since space is hard to find inside the AC part of the shop I cant leave it set up all the time. Bought this equipmment back in the 70's, a few of the price lables are still one the boxes, man , those were the days...............

What kind of lube is that 10X?

.45,
I'll have to admit.....its Lymans yellow.......got a gift card to Cabela's for Christmas and that was the only thing I wanted. The heat gun is used to warm it up.
I'll mix up a batch of some posted here when its gone.[/SIZE]

[EMC45]

Just curious what the mix ratios would be to make it out of Beeswax. Molly lube is just a bit soft for me.

GREAT thread!! Love all the pics.

That is one neat looking setup!

[PatMarlin]

From the very most compact to the largest setups... Cast Booliteers ROCK!! ..

Tell us 10X, which bullet is that in the Lyman sizer?.....Creeker

[mold maker]

You guys are WAY TOO NEAT. If I didn't cause an avalanche the first time I pulled the handle I'd think my stuff got stolen. I've got way too much stuff, but I can't help it.
Or do I just need more room?????

[Calehedron]

I own 2 walls in the garage. Wife just has to park her car in there to crowd me.

[beanflip]

ITS AMAZING

Just by reading, looking at the pics in this sticky there is alot of knowledge. And how rich we reloaders are with all the right tools to make it happen.

[LAH]

Tell us Calehedron, what do you make with those Do It Moulds?

Information overload.... (that's a GOOD thing for us addicts)
I keep coming back to this thread looking for more ideas. Thanks guys. I especially like the strong backs... So, I had to build one for me. Tried it out last weekend and this is better than peanut butter.
Let's back up..
I've been laid off since November and I've kept myself busy with "projects" : removed load bearing wall (inserted header), installed wood stove, demo'd old bench and built one I can park a semi on (really), modified an aluminum truckbed tool box to contain 50 gal aux tank, honey-do list.. oh, yeah... if you run a wood stove it requires WOOD. Actually, been cutting for me and Dad. (he's not able anymore)
Anyhooo, when I manage to get back to the house and get cleaned up just don't last too long. My lights go out mighty quick. (No Cast Boolit time)
So, I borrowed my married daughter's camera (married daughter.. that'swonderful) and took some pics.
If you notice, I clamped the strong back and the powder measure. Just COULD NOT bring myself to drill any holes through the bench.
Maybe I can get to the real IMPORTANT stuff..... Makin' boolits and ammo ! ! ! !

WOW! That sure is purty Quality Nut! I really like the Strong Mount you built for your LNL AP.

Almost as purty is the pile of ingots!

Gotta Love that Hornady LNL AP!

[Quality NUt]

Thanks for the encouraging words, Cayoot. Here lately it's been full steam ahead on everything.
I can't say how much I LOVE that SB. It puts everything where you can see it. And easy to get to. As a side note: It only took me a couple of hours to cut and weld the thing. Painting it was a snap too. Heated over wood stove and then took outside (20 degF) and painted. No drips runs or errors. The stuff practically baked as it hit metal.
The Lyman 450 in the far left corner of the loading bench has been O-ringed to stop leakage. I was loosing about as much as using. Did it with simple hand tools, blue RTV and 10 hrs. Most of that was using a good file to flatten the base. Just had to fix after seeing where someone did a complete rebuild.
Overall, the upgrades made are comfortable, esthetic and effective. Especially the wood stove. LOVE that wood heat.
Tried to get "she who keeps the house a home" to agree to a wood stove in the house, but....
I have to state to all... I really enjoy this site (when I can keep my eyes open) and all the information and ideas found herein.

Cayoot, I did a job in the UP at Sagola at the LP OSB plant Fall before last. BEAUTIFUL country. And lots of friendly people. Thought I was in the deep south. (except for the 20F in the early fall)
Yeah, that pic of ingots is part of my stash... Got to get down to the tire dealer (friend) and pick some more WW. He shoots too, but he's got a Glock. No CB's for him...
