    I wasn't gonna touch this thread, until I saw that post. I literally ROFL'd. So, here's what I'm rocking. Notice the left there. That's a set of 5 lockers that I got for free. Stripped it, welded the doors into 1, knocked out the shelves, rewelded it higher, and bolted into the closet. Not super secure, but cheaper than a safe, and all I have room for until I move out. Anywho, everything but the press is in the box with the green top. I REALLY need a bench lol.

        The same reason my sight is down, I needed something to toss into the picture and that was the first thing out of the case.

        I'd keep it that way if it was a HD gun too. Quicker presentation. My lube doesn't creep so much as to gun up my barrel.

          Can you still open the right-side door on that first cabinet? It looks like the press gets in the way.

              No Computer?

              I just looked through this whole thread to get ideas for a new bench when we get our garage rebuilt. There are some great approaches, some very creative like the ones made from table saws. One thing I noticed is that no one has a computer in their bench areas. In my current very cramped work shop, radio shack, and reloading bench I have 2 computers connected to the internet. Granted they are also used to control radios, but I spend a lot of time researching loads, pieces, parts, and just reading Calguns posts.

              Am I the only one with a computer with their reloading bench?

                My work was disposing of some retired laptops, so I went "dumpter diving" (well, not literally). If I can get linux running on one, and can connect it to a wireless access point, I'll probably end up keeping one on my reloading bench.

                I keep all my load data in excel spreadsheets, anyways - so this will save me a trip into the house to transfer my handwritten notes.

                          Sure can, I measured everything out so that it would fit. The picture is kinda at an angle so it looks off.

                            And finally here's a real one for me:

                              Added a strong mount to clean up the bench and give my press more leverage. I am finally done!

                                Well I just dove into reloading not too long ago, so my set up is still a work in progress. I just had to make room in the Man cave/gun smithing/panic room for it.
                                Here's a quick vid I just took of it.
