How many of these setups are for small reloading businesses and how many are just for personal use????

[cleanguy46]

Heres my humble set up but it gets the job done....







And a cool light chain pull I made for a personal touch!

[krzgoat]

I like the pull cord for the light. Is that black thing around your press for catching primers? If so was it homemade or purchased?

[kmullins]

Krzgoat,

I have the same press as cleanguy46, and the black primer catcher came with it from RCBS. It's works fairly well...

Yes it is. I just went with 3/4" plywood for a little more strength and added a 7'x3'x2" maple butcher block top to really finish it off.

Yeah. Where do do the cooking, In the Garage?

[jmabbott888]

ok, here is mine. The back has some of the brass & bullets as well as the moulds in boxes, bottom back holds the presses. In front the bench hinges up for storage, the boxes on the lower shelf are Handloader mags going back to the early 70's as well as other reloading books.

how much was all the wood after the 85$ for the legs?

All the wood was purchased @ Home Depot and I think the 2x4's, three sheets of one side finished plywood (few bucks more but has a nicer look) and 2" drywall screws came to about $120. Your looking at $200 to build the bench including the kit and more if you finish it with a solid hardwood top.

Maybe I should build something like this. I've got this huge cutting board that came from a japanese restaurant - It's about 3' x 4' x 4". Probably weighs over a couple hundred pounds. It would make for a really nice, sturdy workbench.

Hallelujah! I finally figurered out how to post a pic!

What you see is all about reloading: bench made of a sears saw table. Inside is 100# of lead to help stabilize it. Wasnt really necessary as this ol saw already weighed over a hundred with the motor and all. Anyway I covered the top with plywood and mounted two presses, a vise, and Waldmann's magnifying worklight w/3 -13 watt compact PL's.
To the right is my primer cabinet. And on top of that is a tool box with various and sundry parts like primer tubes, and allen wrenches etc. Oh and I mounted a dremel on the bench and behind that is some tool heads for that.
Then on the wall is the Corona dart board which houses tubes, and accessories for both the Dillon R550 and the Lee Pro 1000.Just to the right of that is a styrofoam packing case I screwed to the wall to hold safety glasses and put some cleaners and oils on top. Next is small parts cases with hairpin clips for the primer tubes and thread locker and sundries. Above which are some dies and tool heads.
Then to the left in the pic are a space heater and a air conditioner used variously as needed while reloading. a Bucket Boss full of tools needed for presses, gunsmithing and all. In the wooden chest are spare gun parts, grips, original boxes and things. Whew, if my wife knew about all this I would have to buy her a mink stole to get over it.
