    Stepped my reloading game up

    I am pretty new at reloading and up until this past weekend I was literally working off of a 2"x4" mount bolted to a folding DeWalt table. Last year I set my garage up with better tool storage and work spaces and I thought I could turn one of my work tables into a reloading center. I bought a riser stand from Inline Fabrications, which is a real quality piece of gear, and went to work.

    The end result is a much cleaner, more comfortable and more steady work area. I think I am going to really like this set up.

    Life was simpler, and more honest, when revolvers and lever actions were the rule.

      Well done

      I've processed so much brass using a single stage RCBS press that even thinking about it makes my hands hurt
      It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

        Those In-Line Fabrication convertible risers are Da Bomb.

            Personally, I'd put the thrower/scale away from any source of vibration (the press) but maybe that's just me.

            My bench has 3 times the equipment and about 6 times more clutter than yours does. Maybe 10 times more clutter.

              I like it! I've been considering an identical setup for a while now.

                    On the Husky set up does the top draw still open? I recently bought both the Husky and the In-Line mount for my Rock Chucker. My previous bench was a Sears tool bench and I had to get rid of the top drawer as it would not open after I bolted the press down. The bolts would hit the top of the drawer and only allow it to open a couple inches.

                    I have the In-line mount put together but have not drilled the top of the cabinet. Did you have any issues installing the mount?

                      No issues at all, the drawer is fully functional. I used 1 1/4? x 1/4? bolts to mount the riser. If you have the same Husky unit I have the wood top is 3/4? and it is sitting on top of a sheet of very thin gauge metal. My install was very easy.

                        +1 for Inline. I got the adapter plate for a vise. Comes in handy for doing light work.

                          You have a nice setup. I have been reloading for decades and just bought an In-Line Fabrication mount. They are top-shelf quality. Welcome to the obsession, it's worse than fishing.
