scooterj Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Those white walls would be great to write all your pet loads on. It's hard to loose the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDGlock23 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Nice bench NCUrk. I'm gonna build me one, even though I have limited room. It's gotta be about 4 ft wide and 15 inches deep. Not sure of height yet but I'm liking the idea of using cabinets for stands!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of height yet but I'm liking the idea of using cabinets for stands!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I actually built it off the wall and added the cabinets afterwords... They are not load bearing. It was easier ( for me anyways) to level everything off the wall then the cabinets. Height wise I wanted to be able to stand up and reload.... just a personal prefrence. I looked alot at all the pics on this thread to give me ideas for my own... And now I crank out a couple hundred a day. Not alot but enough not to worry about running low at the range. I go about once a week and am buying my membership this Friday. Cheaper in the long run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPoLo Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Ok, finally got my reloading room in good enough shape to feel worthy of posting. I've since then put a 550 in between the 650 and the wall/window over in the corner. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now there's a good looking bench! -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon215 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Ok, whats the best surface to use for the bench? I know, and hate the fact I dont have room for it, that reg countertops work great! I have a 7" bench left at parents house . Am just now trying to get another bench for our house here. I have 2 cabinets I plan on using, but need a counter top. My 7 footer was made for me buy a friend of mine back then, may check local cabinet shops to see if maybe they have any short pieces I could buy. Only going to be maybe 5' long, IF I can clean out enough space in this room. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 OK, I'm officially "done moving" now, because I have my loading bench up and running. In a masterstroke of negotiating prowess, I managed to carve out *half* of the garage at the new house for "my hobbies". So... I *finally* built a workbench with enough space to work on things like rifles... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/b_g_gary/det...5df.jpg&.src=ph Workbench is 3/4" ply on 2.6 legs, lagged to garage-wall studs. If an earthquake starts to rattle the place, I'm heading under the workbench ;-) ...and have my 650 set up at the other end. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/b_g_gary/det...e18.jpg&.src=ph Haven't fully unpacked and organized things, but... this goes a long way towards making it feel like "home" Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwyn Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Finally had the camera out when I thought of taking a picture of my bench. Had to low mount the 1050 and add an armrest since I like to reload sitting down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey QuicksDraw! Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Sherwyn, You get a whole room! Look at all that space. My wife has me squeezed into a shed at the end of the house. Very nice setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Jeez-Louise, and I, too, am still stuck in my hall-closet setup (as posted much earlier) that's about as big as a gun safe...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman33_99 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Well finally got my bench set up at the new house. Made a few modifications, and combined a few things. I like the way it turned out. Maybe tomorrow I will get my bullets, primers, and other things moved in, but I thought I would post a pic while it still looked clean and neat.

Pete E Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 As this thread served as an inspiration for me to build a new bench, I thought it only right I post a pic of the 99% completed bench here. I actually did most of the work over at a friends a few months back, but have been waiting to clear a space in a spare bedroom. The bench top is 3" thick in total. the top itself is off an old office desk and I have reinforced that with some 2" x 6" underneath. Size wise, its 66" x 24" which is quite a bit bigger than I had before. The two draw units its sits on are also old office items and I have raised these on plynths so the bench top is 36" high. In the cubby between the draw units, I have added a couple of shelves which also add extra bracing/strength to the whole bench. These need staining and a coat of polyurethene (sp?) before the bench is complete. At the moment I only have my rockchucker permanently mounted; I think I will put my other press and powder measure on wooden plynths so they can be moved around.. Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesrc Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I just wanted to show you guys what some red looks like. Two 20 year old Lee's. Always thought I might buy a Dillon when I wore these out. The one on the right is my 9mm-40 press about 100K rounds loaded. The 45 press only has 50K on it. There not worn out yet. The bench is a Shure Auto bench that I've had for 30 years. Still good as new. I promis I'll buy a Dillon when I wear these out.

Nemo Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) Holy cow!! Re-looking at this thread makes me so envious because those of you that get a WHOLE ROOM for reloading... I pay 100% of my mortgage but only get a corner of the garage! Actually just wanted to show the new addition to my bench: a dedicated 45acp Dillon 550! SWEET!
