RELOADING BENCH PICTURES

[Faust]

"I didn't think man caves were supposed to have pink chairs. You might want to get a camo cover for that one."

Hey now, pink was pretty manly in the 70's and early 80's. This place was built nearly 30 years ago and I am required to match the decor!

Brotha,
that fortress of solitude is awesome! I would however add a sink and a small fridge, but that's just me.
Screw the color comments and justifications! a man...man enough to have his own cave defines the colors in his environment, not the other way around.
you'd done fine in my book.
Faust.

Congrats. That's a nice setup.

I like, nice touch there!

And Trigger Guard....one sweet setup you got there! I wish I had the real estate to do something like that.

[Rwnielsen]

Believe it or not....I make some really nice ammo here

Just did this in December of '09 -

Converted the single garage of our three car garage into a room. Insulated, phone, cable, heater, carpeted, everything. These pictures are from when it was first finished. Now we have a table and chairs and an area dedicated to cleaning firearms as well as a few other things we realized we wanted after we started using it

Here are the pictures:

Very clean set-up, AdamM.

Okay here goes my first time posting pictures.

This would be the "Cave"
Don't know if the wagon would make for good cover but it looks good!

This would be where the real work gets done.

A few collected components.

Nothing like a cozy pellet fire while reading about reloading!

now that's a getaway....

Thank you! It was a Christmas present to me and my brother (I'm 20 and he is 16) from our parents!

I finished building my bench the weekend before last, got my new press on Tuesday. Here's the result:

wood glue, hammer, measuring tape. The key reloading tools all at hand lol

Don't forget the circular saw. Very important for trimming cases...

Yea, my bench is a dual purpose workbench/reloading bench. My rental house is about 800sf and the half garage is another 150sf, so I don't have much room for hobbies. I mounted the press to a 12"x12" sheet of 1/4" hardened steel with 1/4" bolts, allowing for easy removal of the whole thing if I need the work surface for other stuff. Dies, powders, calipers and primers are on the top shelf. Brass, tumbler and separator are on the bottom shelf.

I just recently started reloading, for now only 9mm and .223, so my supply of components is still pretty low. I am liking H322 more than Varget for .223, and am working on a 9mm load with Unique. I only have about $100 a month to spend on my hobbies, so my progress is slow.

I missed the circular saw, I'm still rocking a hacksaw personally lol.

No worries, my setup isn't even a mounted press, I'm rocking a hand-press set up that hides in my closet. I don't get much to spend either, but man...it's an addicting hobby for sure.

[FieldsofFire]

in my next life i want to reload like you

Seriously. He is doing it right.

Did you make those mounts for your RCBS press and powder measure? I'm looking for something like that. Very nice set up btw.
