This is my reloading bench since the mid 1970’s. My wife bought it for my Christmas and I really do not know who made it. Very comfortable and a great way to reload and NO back strain..

Congrats: it's really beautiful !
(if they had given it to me I would have added 4 wheels
to ride it around with pride !)
Food is overrated. A nice rifle is way more important.

That a good idea never seen one like it before .
I bet there are plenty of no longer used "Exercise" aka torture machines sitting in garages out there ... if some smart Dude could come up with a Kit to convert tha exercise bike into a loading "bench" ... I mean that seat looks comfy and the loading machine & seat at the right height ...
I can honestly tell you if I had an old exercise machine ... I would get the conversion and set it up in my spare bedroom ... My last child is gone and we changed the locks on the doors .
If someone is making these already ... they need to tell us reloaders about it .

looks like a school desk combo that somebody cut the desk part off of.

That's definitely interesting!
Thats a space saver for sure! I like it!
Maybe I should install a seat of that nature on my exercise bike, and then I might actually be able to use it.
I like it!

That's about the most interesting compact loader set up I'v ever seen. I'm a 4X4 legged wooden bench guy with multiple set ups. But, if I were to downsize, that looks like the "Da Bomb."

Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.

I remember seeing ads for that reloading "bench" in magazines in the late '70s. It was commercially manufactured and purpose built; not a conversion of anything.

I like that! I'm right handed so I'd probably want to mount the chair a little offset to the left.

sweet! idea stolen...
Looks good! At first I thought it was a converted exercise bule, but it looks much better than that...

Thanks for the comments guys. I had intended to put a picture of this "bench" some time ago but just kept putting it off. I have reloaded several thousand round with it and will be loading more if I get to stick around longer. The stereo outfit is also a gift from the wife. I listen to cd's while reloading, old music that is. You know Glen Miller, big band music.
