My Loading Bench

[Swampman]

Here's my set-up. most of this stuff was free. It may not seem like much but it works fine and takes up little space.

looks good to me but it will grow

Free is my favorite kind of equipment. You need an Orange Crusher single stage on the other end of the bench. You have a lot of capability already.

[P.K.]

Nice! My corner of the "man cave" is getting small now. Need to look into some of that shelving you have above.

[Dan Cash]

Beautiful set up. A closet or the smallest nook can provide the facility if you but organize it.

[Recluse]

Love it!

Organized and you maximized your space.

There's not a danged thing wrong with any of it. Great job.

:coffee:

[kmag]

You did great. Know you will enjoy it. As someone else posted it will grow.

Anybody else notice the where Swampman has his RCBS powder scale is set up? Exactly where it should be: EYE level. Out of the way, and no neck strain trying to read it, good job and nice setup.

Nope, they are still there.

Very nice, very bijou.

You've got all you need there. :goodpost:

I've been trying to down size for years but it just seems to keep going the other way. :(

Nice cozy setup! I am amazed when people state that they don't have the room to setup a loading bench.

My bench is 25' long going down two walls of the shop. I seem to need mor room! Sigh.

Swampman thanks for the idea! I have a larger loading area also but space is constantly at a premium. I will build a movable shelf just above the press area for use by the separate powder dispenser and powder scale. But it will be small enough that it will only hold the 2 intended items so it wont get filled with other un-intended items

[Pigslayer]

I like it . . . I like it a lot!

[milprileb]

Picture popped up: nice use of space and well thought out. Hours of enjoyment there for certain.

Where is the bullet casting gear set up ?:killingpc:killingpc:killingpc

That'll never work. You need to get more stuff on the bench and around it. A pressure washer, a chainsaw or 3, a broken halter and some ear tagging gear, a dead electric fencer, 3 left handed gloves (what really happens to the right handed ones?), 2 broken screw drivers and a can of WW clips, the head off a 7uD4 Cat, your wifes saddle rack, 4 Coleman lanterns and a 50lb grease drum full of 38 brass.

Works for me.

[Beau Cassidy]

That is an excellent bench. Very sturdy. It will serve you well. That Lyman book is a classic, too. Take care of it.

[Beau Cassidy]

That looks like a Star handle behind the tumbler. You holding out on us?

[Swampman]

Just an old shotgun cleaning rod.

[DaveInFloweryBranchGA]

Looks like a new setup, especially for getting free tools. Congrats.

A Japanese reloader would admire your efficient use of space. :grin:

[cigarman454]

Good set up and discreet (hiding in the closet). Nice

[hk33ka1]

Nice setup!

Have you noticed the dust from the tumbler getting all over yet? I wish my Lyman had a sealed lid instead of all the slots on it. Once the media gets a little dry and I let it run for a while it covers everything in lead containing walnut dust.

[o6Patient]

That's a lot of "reloading bench" in an efficient package; nicely done.

[Floydster]

swampman, you have got it together, very, very nice!!!

This one is 4 feet X 2 feet on both sides of steel table.
