Reloading Bench Pics

[#40Fan]

Was bored tonight and decided my bench needed a cleaning. I know the picture looks like a mess still, but it is a lot better. Trust me.

I built this bench four or five months ago. Took about a two hours and $75 in parts, $20 in beer to build. Nothing fancy, but it works.

What does everyone else got?

Looks like yours will do the job without any problem. I wouldn"™t mind showing my bench but never posted any pictures on this board. I spent allot of time on mine and made it at work. The sucker is really heavy just the way I wanted but the movers were not impressed this spring when I moved.

The frame is made out of 1"� x 2"� heavy wall tube with a stainless steel top. The base for the table is made out of 2"� x 3"� solid steel bar for stability finished in chrome plating. I also made some small wood drawers out of maple from a tree I had cut down some time ago. After it was all said and done I was happy the project was finished and then my oldest boy asked if I could make him one. Not a chance. One of a kind...

I wish I had something even close to that, but alas no room. I mounted my press and stand for my powder measure on a 2x6 that I C-clamp to my desk. It ain"™t pretty, but works. Every thing else is in a couple of cheap toolboxes. An unexpected benefit is that I can take it with me to the range and I"™ve done so.

I used 2X4's on edge then ran them thru the big sander where a buddy works. For storage I purchased a close out hutch from a desk. You have WAY more room on that bench than I do, it seems I could always use a bit more.
Here is a pic from the end of the bench, it is 5'5" long, my reloading room is very narrow.

Here it is, it's definately nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

One day I'll have a room like those. They look awesome.

Here's mine. I work on the kitchen table.

The next thing that I want to do is add some cabinets on the wallbehind my bench. Get some of the stuff off it to make even more room. When I get to reloading, I might end up doing all four types that I own in one night, and that usually doesn't leave for much time between for clean up.

When I first started, I was in a small room under the stairs that lead down to the basement. There is a small 1x10" board poorly attached to the wall that is about 5 feet long. I had to hold up on the board when I was FL Sizing my 7mm Rem Mags.

Here is a really crappy picture of my reloading bench for rifle. I will have to snap a better one.
