Loading bench pics

[JohnSmiles]

It would seem I am not the only one serious about reloading.
In fact, from the looks of it, I may not be quite as serious as I once thought myself to be.


And there are those who claim the government could take our guns away anytime they choose to do so without a fight . . . .


From the pictures posted here, I would have to debate this.
You guys ARE serious!

Very nice wood work!!

Thanks for the compliment! It was pretty easy really, it's all 2x6 & 4x4 construction. One nice thing was that it's heavy enough that I didn't have to bolt it down

I just use an old desk. Oh BTW, my reloading bench is in the living room. I love being single!

Here's mine

I like the amount of shelving space you have there. Not so deep that things get "lost and forgotten".....though then again that is half the fun 3 years later and you find 500 8mm bullets you forgot you purchased at a auction

[winchester243]

You've inspired me there chris, nice setup!

Chris,

I especially like the selection of hammers. "If at first you don't succeed,get a bigger hammer!"

Chrisx1,
Wow! Looks like the place where I buy my stuff!

I especially like the 3 foot long "reload" in photos 1 & 3 !! Have you got a press for those too?

[chrisx1]

Thanks for the compliments, guys.....it's taken a lot of years and who knows how much cash.....

As for the wooden "reload", I've been meaning to figure out what it is....some sort of dummy practice round, but for what, I don't know. It must have a metal core, because it sure is heavy. Maybe someone knows an appropriate place to ask? Maybe another forum that would know?
