Although it makes her sympathetic to the cause I need to double the output. Now I got two kids plinking with the 22 also.

iqbal Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 great thread and ideas.......i just started to reload and needed a bench so i built one, the catch was i needed the storage space that i would loose so i built an 8' cabinet below and installed boxes above. really like these LED strips for presses......

tires2burn Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 This is very interesting to me but most of the posted pictures won't open. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tires2burn Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 This is very interesting to me but most of the posted pictures won't open. Why not? It seems that I was at the oldest end of the subject and most of those pictures are dead. Since asking and getting to the newest posts I am getting some mighty fine pictures of loading set-ups.

BENCHMADE Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Here are a few pictures of my setup. I made it by welding together some scrap bed frames. The top is two layers of cabinet grade plywood glued and bolted to it. I then laminated it with formica and routed out two channels for Rocklers t-track that I then also bolted all the way through the top for increased strength. It's very solid. I also added some lights to the press that are similar to a kit you can buy but I made it myself so i could use higher density LED's for increased brightness. I'll add some pics of that too in another post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENCHMADE Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Here's a picture of the lights that I made. I bought all of the parts on Amazon and wired them all myself. I've also attached a picture of how I can use the t-track with my gun vise parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENCHMADE Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 No problem. They put that kit on sale periodically so if you can wait you can pick up a few of them pretty cheap. They also sell the t-track by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prush Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Here's my new bench and the corner it lives in. Still working on organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaylanGivens Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Finished my reloading bench Monday. Got a number of ideas from the pictures in this thread, so I thought I'd post a picture of mine now that it's done. Took this picture just after completing everything and cleaning up. It will never be this clean again! My brother in law did all the carpentry work and did a great job. It's a perfect fit for the space I had available in my back room. Still waiting for the press... Brian said it should be here in another week... Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENCHMADE Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The bench looks great. Hopefully you get the press soon. Congrats on the first step though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceFlunky Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 For those of you that have your bench set up on carpeted flooring, how hard is it to keep it clean? I am wanting to use our 3rd bedroom for loading and i dont want my wife kicking my ass for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wanting to use our 3rd bedroom for loading and i dont want my wife kicking my ass for it. If you can keep primers from going everywhere it is not that bad. The many used primer fixes for the 650 here should solve that problem. Cleaning brass may be the worst thing, depending on how you do that. Loose corncob can get everywhere and it can be dusty. I just got used to the ass kicking, you go numb after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootertheshooter Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If you users carpet and spill powder be careful if you vacuum. You don't want the sparks from the motor to ignite any powder in the vac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
