I got a workbench from work (we moved office and they were abandoning several electronics workbenches!).

To make it more flexible for use, I routed out two 3/4" channels and laid T-Track into them, which I BOLTED (not screwed into the wood, but bolted through the wood because it's not really wood, it's some osb stuff)

I have a 550b bolted to a plywood plank that I'd used in my old apartment and it clamps down to the T-Track at any position I want.

Currently I'm in the process of mounting a 1050 to a wooden platform that will also be drilled so I can run T-bolts through it to mount to the T-Track.

pics when done!

Here is my bench

In the garage. Getting bigger as time goes

Here is my brand new hand built bench (first bench I've ever built). I have not reloaded anything on my press as of yet, since I am completely new to reloading. Currently I am learning on a single stage with my brother in law at his house.....but in the meantime I am setting up my place a little bit at a time. Next purchase is a case feeder, then a deluxe control panel. 2 weeks in and I am waiting patiently for him to tell me I am ready

Here's my current setup. Small and compact.

[1911CA]

The beginning of my hot rod bench. Just finished the top and the supports. It supported over 400 lbs with two adults standing on the bench. Will be adding some drawers and finishing off the legs. Wall cabinets are on the list also. Shelf is just a temporary. It 42" off the ground and works well for my height of 6'5" I can work comfortable standing or sitting on a bar stool. I also have a 4 foot 4 tube troffer directly above the bench for plenty of lighting. So far its turning out good.



Yes its a hot rod press!

you sir are my hero!

[ARog]

setup a new press on my bench last night

[Wookiee87]

I just started reloading and this is my first reloading, light smithing, and cleaning bench. Started off with finding a desk on Craig's List that fit the criteria (desk + hutch w/doors). Bought Lee press kit and started from there. Most reloading materials are kept in cabinets up top and file drawer on bottom right fits 8# jugs if needed. This weekend I installed the pegboard and other stuff on backboard. If I did it again I would use something thinner than 2"x3" since it blocks lots of pegs. Only thing missing from picture is tumbler. I use a HF rotary rock tumbler with SS pins and use two layers of screen door cloth to pour out water. That is used in garage as noise isn't a problem. Thanks to everyone for posting & giving new guys ideas/inspiration.

Home made.. 24" x 48". 4x4 legs, 3/4 in. a/c interior ply for the top, back and shelves.. used one full sheet. 2x4 braces. Lag screws hold the braces to the legs. The materials cost me a little over $100.00 with hardware.

Get a few of these to use instead of the regular nuts you have holding the press stand to the bench. Easy on/off when you need to convert the bench to a cleaning bench!:

Another thing I'm concerned about is this bench is supposed to double as my rifle cleaning area, but with the press there and being right handed, I might be frustrated cleaning my 26" rifle with a 40" rod lol.
