Thanks for the info gemoose that kit looks pretty good compared to lowes kit. You get 2 shelves fr only $10 more

1. Make sure to do is make an elevated shelf (eye level) for your beam scale. Bending down to check every 10th charge is a PITA.
2. I'd put cubbies or drawers under the bench for materials but set them back 6" so you have knee space if you are sitting.
3. I like the dillon in front of me and the SS press to my left. If you can you want the SS in reach of the progressive station so you don't have to walk back and forth if you are using the SS for some intermediary operation or to play with different die setups.

I'm thinking because my space is so limited in my garage. An open bench with maybe a peg board would be best. Then add storage cabinets above the bench if I can find them cheap. I honestly want to make this as simple as possible and spend $100 or less.

Harbor freight option isint bad it's about $140 total. Also the lowes kit is nice. I just doubt I'll be good at cutting even though its so simple.

Costco has a bench on rollers that is nearly perfect. About $250

I believe Home Depot sells sanded plywood. Waste of money if you ask me. I used my electric sander and was done sanding in 20 minutes or so. Saned the top and rounded the edges.

I just went the Home Depot cabinet route myself. It costs a little bit, but you end up with something you can live with for a while.

nicw set up johnjohn I never thought if having my set up in the house, I have a office with a decent amount of space on the empty wall, might have to consider this.

thank you for the tips on the draws and storage boxes milotrain
