RELOADING BENCH PICTURES

[thomashoward]

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.

Pick up a couple overhead cabinets. Extra storage is necessary.
My wife wanted me to paint my bench ..so I cammoed it

Here's my humble setup:

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

Where did you get your stool?

It's an adjustable height Craftsman work stool I bought at Sears when it was on sale for $40

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!

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.

Just set this up about a week ago. Not quite finished because I don't have all of the equipment yet. But I'm working on it.

The accessory plate is nice. With my load-all I used heli-coils reenforced with wood glue in the top and it seems to work fine. I can unbolt it easily to go back to a flush counter top in case I need to use the bench for something else.

My reloading bench...

Just started building myself a reloading station this past weekend in a corner of my two car garage I won't call it complete yet but in fairly workable stage 'as is'. I will be tweaking the work area as I get parts in.

Just got some parts in from Midway today. Also, got a chance to stain the bench using left over paint from my DIY audio rack a year ago.

Here's what it looks like today. I'll mount a couple of fluorescent lights under the shelf next.
