This morning I was at the bank taking care of some business and they had just gotten a delivery of new chairs for the tellers. The crew chief looked at his minions and told them to move all the old chairs/stools out to the truck when I said "Put the best looking one in my car". He looked at me and asked "How many do you want?"
I only had room in the car for one, but I now have a really comfortable leather adjustable swivel bar stool on casters to sit in front of the reloading bench.
Good deal. Right place at the right time weren't you. james
Nice Score! I have an old office chair at my loading bench!
Lol nice. I have to steal the wifes kitchen chair. Reloading on a budget and all......

35+ years ago I rescued an old, solid maple, rolling and swiveling banker's chair from the basement of an office building in Concord, NH. Over the years I have completely rebuilt the base, added a plastic wear plate, replaced one arm, and tightened the back. It's been in my son's dorm room, my family office, and now in the reloading room.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!

LOL, that's where I got my chair also!
That was a great score. I have been combing Craigslist for something like that. I expanded my bench and had to move things into the garage and standing is just not as fun as it use to be.
As I type this, I am sitting in an older, broken office chair that will put you on your duff if you aren't careful about how you sit. LOL--like riding a bronc just waiting his chance. james
You will not get a bucket now days that will last that long you better take care of it.Originally Posted by Three44s
Reloading to save money I am sure the saving is going to start soon
I have an old wooden kitchen chair that came from the estate of the doctor that delivered my Dad in 1920.
When i was in the construction trade, the carpenters built a shack for the boss's to gather in, and to keep the plans, and other paper work all together. The put a nice sloped table in as well as about 3 nice hand built tall stools. When the job was over, they started dumping stuff. I asked for, and got, a really nice hand made 4 legged stool. Forty years later, i still have it, and use it at my loading bench.
The oak desk I am sitting at right now was used in my elementary school, where I started the 1st grade in 1967.....
That's awesome.
Bar stools from Tractor Supply! They work great and the price is right!

Scored two office chairs from a credit union that was getting new furniture.
I have 2 stools from Northern Tools that hold stuff while I stand at the bench and load/fix stuff.
A trash can bar stool and a touch with a Tig 20 years ago and here I am.
