Hi here is an ongoing reloading bench project that I've been working on.
First I bought a Lee Precision bench plate set. I used the steel mounting block for my depriming / bullet pulling press.
Then I bought a few more plates and dug out the welder.
The first custom plate was for my parrot vice. For this all I needed was to weld on a tab for the third bolt needed on its base.
The second custom plate really consisted of an adapter made from 1"x2" steel tube with two 1"x1/8" steel strips welded to it. This allows me to mount my MEC Jr press.
The third custom plate is an adapter as well, this one still needs to be welded, and then paint but is made from 1"x2" steel tube with a 1/8" steel plate it to match the base of my RCBS Trim Pro.
I needed a place to mount all my new quick change tools, so I made up a shelf from a piece of pine. I cut truncated triangles to match the angle of the lee mounting blocks and spaced them out as docking stations for 5 quick change tools. Then I installed 2 3/4" rare earth magnets in each station to hold the tools. Painted with urethane and I was done. Behind the station that holds the press I also mounted a lee breech lock holder that holds three dies.
Only thing left is to replace the screws not the lee Zee brackets with knobs, and of course have one more station to fill so I just need something else to mount....
