Lyman Loading Shelf

[Green Frog]

I think I’ve asked about this before but never got a full answer, so I’m trying again...

Once upon a time, many years ago, Lyman sold a wooden shelf style assembly, the base of which accepted a loading press and the shelf on the back gave a place to mount an accessory or two like a powder measure or scale, etc.

I only saw this items in an old catalog, and it’s probably been at least 25-30 years ago, but I’m wondering whether anybody else remembers or perhaps even has one of these items?

Made of wood? Build one.
On the benches I build for myself I always make a shelf that is just about eye level where I mount my powder measure with the scale right behind it.
That way as I am adjusting the measure, the scale is right handy to check weights.
If you don't want a permanent shelf a wooden box about six inches deep by a foot wide and as high as you like can serve as well.
Set the box on the bench hold in place with a c-clamp or place a few lead bars or boxes of boolits inside to stabilize it.

Here's some pics of many, some DIY, some available from a variety of companies:

Thanks for your responses, 44magLeo and Kenstone. I am actually looking for the specific unit dredged up from my dim, amphibian memory. Failing in that, I've got an old Workmate™ and the plans to build a similar unit for that... it's one of the ones shown on the page Kenstone so kindly provided. The quest continues!

Thanks again!

Not the Lee Bench Plate system, perhaps? Here's a review from 2011:

Mr Frog Person Sir, I think what I remember about that is long gone, with my hair.
I seem to have a vague recollection of seeing it in a Lyman catalog sometime in the mid 70's. But that is just my memory. I am not home so looking it up is out.

Try asking the same question on the ARTCA board.

My little froggie brain may have transposed Lee and Lyman products, but I don't think so... in fact, I'm thinking there was even a picture on that year's Lyman catalog of their shelf unit with press and accessories installed; but then again I may have dreamed the whole thing up after nibbling on too many lily pads! :roll:

Froggie is not dreaming, one of the ARTCA members found the Lyman Organizer. He posted a catalog picture, I believe he found it in a Handloaders Digest from the mid 70's.
