    I'm also going to get a second water heater minus the heating element and plumb that in series so I always have 100 gallons of fresh emergency water.
    I doubt you have any thing to worry about, powder doesn't put off vapor like gasoline

      Semi-complete! Adding another shelf to mount some bins using an Inline Fabrication rail.

            Its probably not safe to carry a loaded gun around since it's so close to your body.

            A water heater flame is not going to jump 4 feet and touch you or your powder.

              😂 I'm OCD. I clean my benches after every session. Degreaser, vacuum, etc.

              Here is my last bench setup.

                I'm not OCD but your benchtop isn't flat anymore.

                  Wide angle camera... the actual setup is over 8 feet long.

                    I hope I'm not double posting this I here...


                    "Everything" fits in the rolling, locking cabinet. Powders and press in bottom drawer, Primers, dies/turrets, bullets in middle drawer. Case prep tools in top drawer.
                    Very stable after I added the hardwood top.

                      I recently overhauled my setup. I pulled the Lee single stage to replace with a rockchuker, and sswapped the Dillon strong mount for an Inline quick change. I also cleaned off/cleaned up the work area.

                      Of course, iOS update blew out my ability to post photos.

                      So this is a two step process.

                      Old area.



                      Cleanup in process



                      New press mount.

                      550



                      Rock chucker



                      Swager



                      Overviews





                      Now I have room for stuff like this on my bench, too

                        Have a question about the Harbor Freight Windsor workbench.

                        What exactly are those wooden and iron pegs that fit in the holes in the tabletop for?

                        "Two dead?!? HOW?!?"

                          usually used to extend the usable length of a vice for wood working, mostly for panel work

                              Very nice guys! If you are OCD don't look at my pics. Instant headache and bewilderment.

                              "...which from their verbosity, their endless tautologies, their involutions of case within case, and parenthesis within parenthesis, and their multiplied efforts at certainty by saids and aforesaids, by ors and by ands, to make them more plain, do really render them more perplexed and incomprehensible, not only to common readers, but to lawyers themselves.

                                My humble setup...

                                Most materials I used I found curb side...that kept the overall cost to build this setup down to $75 which was for wood, glue and varnish to build the bench

                                Used a coat hanger to hang my press turrets...
