2011WRBSTI Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I can't really follow the fantastic room that soonertoby posted.......but I am excited for my long awaited latest addition.......The very light and modest setup in my office. First pic - I loaded ALL my 9mm, 40S&W, 45acp, 5.56 and 308 on this $20 home built bench from Home Depot bench on my single stage Lee kit for 6 years. That's right all that ammo on a SINGLE STAGE! Second pic - My wife approved my long wished for Dillon XL650 purchase and she also painted my bench for me and added some of my USMC stickers that I had laying around. Its no room transformation but it looks like a whole new desk and my reloading area feels more complete now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayhkr Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Haha looks good to me..at least your room was finished. Mine started as a creepy dark spider collection in my 100 year old house Yep, have a nearly 100 year old house....Well it's 65+ at least anyway. Old stuck-o walls, and spidy's house all over. But anyway's here's my modest "multi-bench" I built this about 7 years ago and it's been solid since day one. Hated having to cut a notch in her for the modified primer catcher tube to swing up, but a little chisel and she's fits flush. Some days my eyes just don't want to work properly so I set this up to help read the little needle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blujax01 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) My 8x8 basement room started with a flat pack kitchen base cabinet I found in a "scratch and dent" pile, and a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" plywood that I slit up the middle, doubled up and made 1-1/2" thick, and kind of grew from there. Cabinets, tables etc., are all either repurposed, clearance or factory seconds. Edited April 11, 2014 by blujax01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES13Raven Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Harbor Freight 'hardwood' workbench, $140 with 20% off coupon: http://www.harborfreight.com/workbench-with-4-drawers-60-hardwood-69054.html The hardwood is more like engineered flooring or plywood, lapped together, but not at all bad, most parts are indeed wood vs MDF or other. Glued it and screwed it. After the last bench was way too flimsy/flexible, I ensured I mounted it directly above the right side leg, vs more outside, and reinforced a bit with plywood. May not have needed it, but wanted to minimize flex as I'm not attaching to the wall inside the house.. slightly annoying side effect is I'll have to trim the right hand side drawers to get them to open fully, or move to a strong-arm/raised platform for the press, but overall, not a bad deal at all for the $. I use the same bench and so far it's been great! I bought the same Harbor Freight workbench. I have it inside in my office, which has medium height carpet. We are renting this house, so I'm not sure if I want to drill into the wall to secure the bench. Anyone have suggestions on how to make the bench sturdy as possible, without a bracket to the wall?

Warpdrv Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Just use a bracket on the bench and screw into the wall, hitting a 2x4..... When you remove the screws - just use tooth paste to fill the hole and smooth it out, it will turn white when it drys.... Renters trick.... Screw down into the floor and through the carpet , they will never know after you remove the screws there either.... Problem solved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whip Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Well, with the addition of a new 650, I figured I should get started on a new bench. Thanks for all the great ideas on this thread.
