Reloading news flash!!!!

[OHOD]

I'm settled in to my new apartment.

Heading out to Home Depot to buy a small work bench to set up my reloading/firearm work station.

I will post picks later!

Wish me luck in that I don't get trompled by the post-Black Friday crowd.

Picks of buying at Home Depot. Can hardly wait.

Are you getting a "Workmate" or a small, ready to assemble bench?
Also, where is the option in the poll that says "Will change mind & place a larger order through Scottsdale Silver"

Should have went to harbor freight instead.

Recommend to look at a craftsman bench.

I think I know which bench OHOD is getting. I just got back from Home Depot since someone here posted the ad showing a $60 semi-portable work bench(72" long) so I ran out of my house and picked one up. The display model was a touch wobbly but it looked pretty darn good! I should have read how long it was. Pretty tough to get it into my sedan but luckily I live across the street from H.D. Now...Just need to find a place to set it up:

OHOD, do you make spelling errors intentionally? seems like every thread you make has one word just sitting there, a little too perfectly mis-spelled. :

True story!

Tadah!!!!!!

So I'm getting ready to go to Home Depot and my mom says (yes my mom), "Where you going?"
"Home Depot to pick up a work bench." I says.
"Why don't you use that one." as she points to the other side of the room.

Oh yeah, good idea!
Never made it to HD, instead OSH to pick up a couple of bolts, storage bins and etc...



Yes, BB and Bf, that is the same table I used to have. Finally pulled out the press.



Used a coping saw to cut away a section for the press, drilled a couple of holes and then....BAM! Super cool reloading bench!
Note the drawers below the press. One is to catch any junk that falls off the press and the bottom drawer is for dirty brass and etc...



The finished product!
I think I need some pink ribbons to make it girly like. What do you think?

Here is a serious question though, ...
I've read that carpets are notorious for generating a spark. Prior to reloading, I want to create a safe environment.

1. What would you recommend to be placed below the table so as not to create a poor mans Vandegraff Generator?

2. I would like to create a ground maybe?

Basically, I need some advice on safety and spark suppression.

Oh goodness.

Hmm, you got me thinking now.

lefty 'eh?

It looks nice, and it's about the size I started with. It was way too small ultimately.

Good start

Woah, nice little cubicle thing Really like that you cut part of the top there. I guess the linkage was interfering? I like that it's going to be really stable since it's not hanging off the edge like mine probably will.

I use ESD control procedures on a daily basis. It never occurred to me that ESD control in reloading would be an issue but WOW! The worst case result for a discharge in reloading is far worse than anything that would happen in the semiconductor industry!
