Good start more organized than me, I have way too many hobbies, not enough time and space. R/C planes, cars/ heli, shooting, Ham Radio, computer games and of course shooting on and on...

Cant wait to get my Dillon setup going

I hear ya. This is my electronics workbench which is opposite my reloading bench, and all this is packed in an upstairs two bedroom condo. I really need a bigger place.

I started reloading 4 years ago, i used a shelf board to mount my press and some clamps on a short drawer file cabinet in my moms 890 sq ft condo. bought a house 2 years ago and theres still not enough room!

Are you going or went to school for electronics or a hobby? I went for computer electronics and also some what of a hobby.

It's been a hobby since I was really young, so I ended up going to school for it, and now it's my job.

Just got done building mine, installed the window and everything. The drywall will be textured and pained when the rest of the garage is finished. The cabinet will go on the wall to the left ot the window and also have a matching cabinet to go on the right of the window. Pretty excited abotu it. ive made close to 300 rounds so far. :-)

Thinking about having the drawer pull out and cut some plywood to fit over that and extend the bench another 10 inches or so, but be able to put away when not needed.

Girlfriend isn't happy, but my AR is.

Hey, you stole my cat! His name is Charlie and looks just like yours, only Charlie is fatter and is more destructive (he'd be eating or breaking something).


Anyway, that said... I'd like to get into reloading one day. I'm jealous of you guys who have the room and money to reload. I live in an apartment and I just don't have the space or the money. I barely have space or money for what I do have, and that's without reloading.

x2 for na-vah-dah you win, and how sweet is 2 safes and indoor reloading. I'm setting up in my garage but would love to be indoors. If only my office was a little bigger.

Humble?! Damn, that's a fine little shop.

A+ for organization!

Who needs drawers when you can hang them on the wall.

I do. Just limited on space, so I had to make it the most space efficient with the area that I had to work with.

I think it works out pretty good

My setup.

Rifle on left. Pistol on right.

Most of my stuff is organized in 30 cal ammo cans below the bench.

Awesome thread with some great ideas. Just getting into reloading and will start on my bench tonight. Pics to follow.

I have a question about primer/powder storage. I'm out in Ramona and my bench will be in a garage with no AC. I have a refrig/freezer but don't use the freezer side. Would that be good for powder/primer storage? Anyone else have an issue with high temps in the summer and how do you store your primers/powder?

Follow SAAMI guidelines for storing powder and primers and you should be okay.

Current primers and powders should last years and years in open air as long as you don't have high humidity.

I wouldn't recommend storing them in a place where fast pressure increase could potentially create a bomb (a fridge).

Just imagine the warehouses these powders and primers come from... hot, cramped, etc. They do just fine...

Ok, got the bench started. I'm going to try to do this like "Run My Renovation" where I try to incorporate your suggestions. All within reason of course. Here's a few pics of what I started. I used a vanity from one of my bathroom renovations then framed it to give it strength. My next step is to Spar Varnish the plywood to give it a smooth surface.




All scrap lumber I had laying around. First expense will be the varnish.

Pretty much finished for the most part. A few more things to add here and there but can start reloading as soon as I send some rounds down range!

[Javi]

I was going to get a B&D "Work Mate" but I just realized my old drawing table would be great to use. It has some junk on top but what's taking up the most room is my old, THICK tube tv. The table top isn't extremely thick so the Rock Chucker will be screwed into one or two 3/4 pieces(Maybe only one if I get the RCBS accessory plate) of plywood and then C-clamped.

I'll post my starter set up tomorrow. Cool thread
