Reloading bench photos

[Guest Boomhower]

I'm still portable, atm. I'm working on building a work bench, but I'm still debating on whether or not I'm going to mount my press to the bench. I may just keep it mobile.

Picasa image linking sucks, so you'll have to click here to see it.

Your image must first be hosted somewhere on the Internet. Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket or ImageShack® - Image Hosting are good services to use. Once your image is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image.

Here are some pics of my setup. I just built the shelving unit for all our shooting bags.

Here's my simple set up. I'm pretty envious of you guys benches. I'm planning on doubling the size of mine when I can get off of my lazy butt and do it. It's a little cramped right now.

I like the deer horn drawer handles.

[Worriedman]

I have a 12'X20' cast off building that my father-in-law was going to burn, I loaded it up, hauled it to my place, striped it to the rafters and floor joist, refurbished it with metal siding, insulated and sheathed the inside with cheap paneling. Installed a heating/AC unit. I lined it all with shelves, benches and drawer space, and named it the "Man Cave".

It is about 1/2 the size I need for all my operations, but it is at least a dedicated spot. The deer horn drawer pulls fit the "motif".

What it looked like orignally.

Wow! There sure are some awesome setups posted.

a basement. One year in the making. Getting there.

Man Cave, Loading Center. Gun safe in the Next Room Over.

1/4 Starboard on the Bench.

Mine isn't real elaborate. It is built completely of 2x4 lumber and is solid. It is in a corner of my basement.

[Guest REDDOG79]

I want to do this to my bench but can't seem to find any good sized logos online to transfer to the wood. I plan on using carbon paper to transfer the logo to the table then wood burn it before staining and clear coating it. any help would be appreciated.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

You guys make me sick. I'm embarrassed to show

mine. I made it out of an old hospital fire door and

a cabinet base. I put it in an old kitchen in my basement,

used a former bathroom for the supply storage. It

didn't cost me anything but a bunch of sweat. It

looks like hell.

So long as it works!

I'm glad this thread was brought back. It gives me ideas..

[USMCJG]

...I'm planning on doubling the size of mine when I can get off of my lazy butt and do it....

Here is my reloading setup since I doubled the size and added a few new tools. It's working out much better now that I have a lot more room to work with-

When I get a progressive press I'll expand again.

It eludes me how people can be so dang neat and tidy. I must have the slob gene. Hats off to folks who can have such pretty workstations.

[Mike]

I'm in the same boat Lester. I try my best to keep the bench clean, especially while I'm loading to prevent mistakes. It's a constant battle.

Okey, do you have a rack you store your plates on? How do the channels hold up to the pressures of loading?

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Me, too.

Great looking photos and setups. Mine is to messy looking to post a photo of.....

Mine runs the length of my garage, and it's still messy!

[Guest FroggyOne2]

Both of mine are messy because they are constantly being used!

Believe me, I'm a total slob with everything BUT my reloading bench. I didn't even tidy it up before I took that pic, that is exactly how it always looks right before I start and right after I get done loading.

[Guest oldsmobile98]

Wow.

Nice benches, guys. I am impressed.
