Day one!
10' long x 32" deep x 42" high

The stool was a christmas gift and was the insparation for the project.

Only have $20 in the nuts and bolts.
Most of the wood is around 100 years old now repurposed!

Jack,

I cast in my basement. I do have an exhaust fan that is vented to the outdoors. But, I flux with a wooden dowel, the only fumes from it is wood smoke. There are no fumes from just casting. Smelting wheel weights into ingots, now that creates fumes by the metric ton. I do that outside and outside only.

Welcome to the site.

I love the bench also & that appears to be a Cornbinder Stool.

Joe, now that is an awesome bench! Really old school!

Jack, after consulting with members here, I built a fume hood with steel exhaust ducted through the walls and attic spaces to a second-story gable wall and a remote, in-line 500 CFM fan mounted right at the exhaust louver so it's not droning right over my head. Many basement casters simply locate their pot in front of a basement window and install a small box fan in the window. Be mindful of cross-ventilation, duct the fresh air in from behind you if you can.

Thanks bowhunter, LAH and LUBEDUDE for the kind words!



After a few days it is starting to fill and I dont even have my press or lyman 450 mounted yet.
It just goes to show, we live with what we have and more is never enough.

[LUBEDUDE]

You are so right Joe, but then it wouldn't be a REAL Work-Bench then would it?

I like how you did those drawers - nice and simple.

Looks Great!

Finally got everything moved into the garage so it's all in one spot. Not pretty but fully functional.








I made the decision to just clamp down a few tools at a time so I can keep the bench top accessible. It gets used for more than just reloading.

Hey Princeout- that Universal 3 will look good on that bench!

Dragon - sure looks organized!

[princeout]

Thanks LubeDude. It will have its twin brother available as well.

Just upgraded the reloading set up. I drank the blue kool aid and I'm loving it!

[LUBEDUDE]

Yeah, Blue tastes best.

Looks great Hoss!
