***Reloading bench/room picture and FAQ thread***

Nice "crash cart" Jim.
Takes mobile reloading to a new level!
Did you machine the mounts for the presses?

And hey Freakshow..
It looks like you got relegated to the garage, what happened?

Thanks. I built the mounts out of some aluminum extruded strut that I had, then added some angle and flat bar as necessary. Only machining necessary was cuts, hole drilling and countersinking. The mounts are extremely rigid and strong, and are bolted to the top of the tool chest with T-nuts in the slots and fender washers under the top.

Some of those reloading benches look way too clean, lol

here is a couple of updated pics of my messy bench.

Cool pics, this will help a lot setting up things. I especially like the "crash cart", that's a great idea. You might want to put a couple eye bolts in the studs, and use a sturdy strap to hold it to the wall when loading. Cheap and easy, and probably a lot more stable than on just the wheels.

I've got a decent work bench, but need to clear off all the crap to set up a loading area. It's good to see how others do it.

Nice idea for a thread - thanks for posting the pics, CG'ers.

Hapiness is a warm .45! I will agree with that! Thanks for the pics!

I know what you mean, the progressive is the way to go. I use my single stage press for small runs and special loads (hot loads) for my .357 and 45LC. It really comes in handy for that and I can leave a set up in my progressive.

I know... after using my progressive, it will be difficult to go back to single stage.

I will be posting some videos when I'm done with this cold I have!

I am only just getting started. I need to put some shelves up.

Here's my "bench" which is really just half of a 4 shelf rack split in half:



I've since added a mini digital scale and a few more tools here and there. I have a feeling that a progressive *may* be in my future once I start loading .223's blaster style. I should be getting my SRP this week so it may be a long weekend in the garage
