PhillySoldier Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Using a huskey toolbox currently for my workbench but getting ready to start a new bench build now. Spent 2 hours in lowes over the weekend picking out most of what I want. I have a 10' 6" x 40" cubby in the garage which will be my reloading area. Gotta start by ripping some sheet rock down to running some more electrical sockets and run the hose line up higher on the wall as well as painting the garage. For the reloading bench Ive picked what would be 5 cabinet bases that will run the length of that area. I want to do a 30" counter top of two layers of oak plywood as well as run two rows of shelves of the same wood. Gonna run 2x4 backing boards behind the cabinets to offset the larger counter tops a little. Im gonna have about 4" of top over hanging the cabinets which will make for sitting at the bench easy but also might make getting to the drawers a little difficult. That casefeeder takes up a lot of room though and I definitely want to be able to put shelves behind it for storage. The side 40" walls I'll do pegboard or some such afterwards for additional storage. Hoping to comfortably have 3 presses and work room when done. I keep going back and forth about whether or not to try the t-track system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 @PhillySoldier my suggestion from previous experience would be to avoid putting the overhead shelving up right away. Mount your presses and use them until you’re positive you like the way they’re spaced apart and positioned - expect to move at least one press a little bit. Once you’re sure you like them where they’re at, build a set of shelving that is notched around your casefeeder. I did that once. I actually wound up being VERY happy with that decision.

PhillySoldier Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Yeah shelves and the case feeder are definitely the problem. Thats why im trying to force the 30" counter tops. And yeah planning on getting everything in place before deciding where exactly the shelves w be mounted but everything "should" have enough room (barely) even at the worst points of it Edited August 8, 2018 by PhillySoldier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the room, by any chance, 9x12 because that's about 1/4 of a two car garage? I ask because I had a 9x13 reloading room that I built by walling in the back half of one side of a two car garage and I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just the way the plans were for the new house wanted it in back corner of house and just so happens the garage is right there for a door. Had a 3 car carport going behind right there but put it on other side off garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Does anybody have a air compressor hook up in there room if it’s in the house. Was thinking of running alive from garage to the room. Any ideas. Or getting a mini tank from harbor freight and keep in a cabinet with a outlet in there for it.

I have one from HF and it gets the job done can be a little loud at first but what compressor isn't. If you want it cleaner looking you can do what this guy did, start at 4:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrussell Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I believe California Air Tools compressors have the lowest DB in the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run the air line from the garage to my workshop in the basement, it is pretty long, but supplies enough air for medium-consumption tools.
