Title: Loading bench
Post by: jjhunter on April 25, 2009, 11:33:46 AM: You all were my inspiration to make my own "man cave". The first thing that I needed was a good, solid reloading bench! I got step one done last week and still need to add a few things like my arbor press and case trimmer, but I was pretty happy how it turned out. My wife bought be a electronic powder dispenser/scale for my "getting out of the Navy" present so she deserves some credit as well. Here is a pic......

Thats a tough feat, however it's the places you wouldn't expect that you find the powder you need lol. I was at a pistol range and found 3 tubs of H1000 and 4 of RETUMBO, if any1 needs Retumbo and is near Tacoma LMK, I left it on the shelf.

Post by: littlebuf on April 30, 2009, 03:23:32 PM: ok, now take all the stuff you have in those containers and dump them upside down on the bench,leave your loading maunal open with the pages all folded up and have about twenty random pieces of paper with a bunch of notes scribbled on them and it will start to look like a real loading bench. hang in there you almost got it :P

I have OCD as well. My bench stays clean. My buddy on the other hand who uses my bench, messes everything up and then never bothers cleaning anything so I have to go behind him and clean up his messes.
