Reloading Bench

[C-Money]

We have a small house so my bench is in the wash room. This works out of cause if I spill shot or powder, it is easy to clean up on the linoleum. I have a Lee Load All shot shell reloader and a RCBS rockchucker. I really like them both. For an inexpensive shot shell loader, the Lee Load all works great! I'll post a pic when I get home!

This is my reloading Bench set up

I try to keep my bench cleaned off all the time. I load at least one night a week and two or more most weeks. I've punched out a lot of ammo. on that bench. My garage is insulated so it stays warm and dry in there.

Nice work area you have there.  My area stays clean, but my buddy doesn't have OCD like I do and the whole rest of the garage gets trashed.  I had to put up a bungee cord to block them off hehe.

Well I picked up this desk on craigslist for cheap.  I think It'll work  ok for now.  Has some good storage.  I will have to play around with it to see if I like the press on the right side or if it will work better on the left.  Now lets see if I can figure out how to reload....

[Ghost1941]

Haha, not too difficult.  Don't forget to lube the case, keep track of your loadings and have a data book on what is in each and how well it performed

Lacking carpentry skills, I bought a pre-fab kit off of the web. 3 sheets of plywood, some 2x4's and a 6 pack had it put together in a couple of hours. Screwed and glued the bench together, then screwed it to the wall. 300# of unused/ignored weight lifting weights on the bottom shelf keeps it steady.



BTW, thanks for the forum. New member, stumbled across the site on a Google search. Cool to find a WA specific site.

Hey, I've seen that picture before. 

On a hiking site. 

Welcome to the dark side.

I'll post pics of my gun room / reloading bench as soon as I get it in  .  I'm in the process of converting one of the bedrooms in my house into the man cave.  I've de-popcorned the cieling and just primed/painted the new texture over the weekend.  Cabinets are ordered and should be here in a few weeks, counter top is measured and takes only 5 days to make.  Closet doors are being removed and makes a great hole for the safe.  It should be a great room to go hide in

I despise you.

Great setup but of everything I see, I like the Rainer sign the best, too cool.

Eastwa you've got a good supply of Alaskan Amber there.  Nice set-up. 
By the way Deaddog, that's not a rainier "sign" it's a shoulder mount of a wild rainier. LOL

 As for reloading bench, I mounted a 3/8" steel plate flush with the top of my garage workbench.  Plate is drilled and tapped with hole patterns to match all reloading equipment, bench grinder, drill press, bench vice, etc. 

A lot of the tedious brain numbing tasks like trimming I tend to do inside with the gear clamped onto an old end table.  That way I can sit and watch TV while trimming a thousand .308 cases.

Sweet set up! Mine is pretty portable Uhh, it actually is a huge chunk of butcher block I clamp to a furniture table in my living room. My wife loves it Yeah, I need to make a permanent spot for it somewhere. Another project.
