Show your reloading benches

[ekoso]

i did a search and was surprised there was no thread already started (or my search skillz suck)

I will go first, i built this a year ago, the tools are mounted on a slide, and can be interchanged into the desk, there are a few things i will do differently next time arround, but overall i am quite pleased. I have a white board along the back of the bench, a pin board on the other side of the desk, and i have lights directly above where the tool slides are.

Nice to see some different setups, keep them coming

it is almost never this neat

Mine is always a mess, whenever i clean it off i start some new project and crap gets piled up, i do however clean it everytime before i start to reload. Also i keep my supplies in a seperate part of the room so i dont accidentally grab say the wrong powder by accident. i knew somebody who put 55g of handgun powder in a rifle shell, it didnt turn out very well

I was recently evicted from the comforts of a 2nd floor, spare bedroom. We put a 14'x14' addition on the house several years ago. Unfortunately, we ran into a massive rock (we never found the edge) while digging the foundation, so ceiling height in that basement is just a hair over 5'6". Oh well, I guess I can stand up between the joists. Cleaned it out, cleaned it up, epoxied the floor, and moved my crap in. It's cozy:

Building mine tonight! Will post pics when I'm done. Any advice before I drill everything in? Using a small heavy desk with drawers on the left. I just got a Rockchucker single stage kit. Powder on the left? Press on the right?

 

[ukrem]

fix the handle of the powder throw on the left hand side so your right hand can have the pan under the throw

Look at the Videos and Pics Forum and a post called "Show Your Collection". The post on pg 59 shows a desk made by a CGN'er from Alberta. I made the exact same bench and its a perfect reloading bench. I'm not a carpenter or cabinet maker by any means, but it turned out really nice.
Its called a NMRA Reloading bench. Google it for plans.

Sorry I couldn't provide a link to that post.....

Mines a mess but have a look ( I got more in the crawlspace )

There, all set up. Kind of. The little plate next to the powder dispenser is for my lansky knife sharpener.

It's not much, but it's a start!

I de-primed my first 200 casings tonight. I'm going to love reloading, I can tell already.

Small but functional. I just started this hobby hence the gear is all over the place.

I used to haul it all out and clamp to the kitchen table, I like having my own dedicated space for reloading, it's small but so far is working really well.

Here is a link to the plans for a really good, sturdy reloading desk.

I built one and am really happy with it..... One of these days I'll figure out how to post pics.......

My Harry Potter reloading bench as noted in other threads it was a space under a basement stairwell we didn't have a use for so I set this up as a starter bench (planning to expand eventually)
