So, I built a nice little bench so I can start reloading - still have not got all the toys, but I thought I would ask how people layout their bench, left to right, front to back.

The bench is 36 X 24, found a scrap cut for a buck at the local Home depot, so nice and sturdy with 2x4 frames.

How do people lay out - with a lee zip case trimmer, a powder measure, the press, etc.

I'd love to hear your suggestions/thoughts/ideas/experiences.

Cheers

Ron
 
all i can say is make sure your scale is out of any drafts- when i started i used 2x6 for everything, but then i've got a dillon- right now i've got everything mounted on a microwave cart that's been reinforced- 3 lee progressives, a dillon 550 and a lee turret- my scale is on a desk remote from the reloading bench, because i didn't want it shifting when i moved the rams up and down- -

do you find this cart sturdy enough??i was thinking of using this same idea :D i think the cupboards below would be great for storing all the gear,and you can put a lock on it also :wink:
 
The height of the bench is also important for operating the press, some
people prefer to stand when operating the press, some prefer to sit.
It makes a difference, and the bench (or press) should be at the corresponding height.
 
hey, i'm running a dillon, but i reinforced the area between the top and the lower with a couple of of 2x8 braces ( right from the front to the back) cut to size ( ultra tight fit) and bolted into place with 3 inch lag bolts- in other words ,partition the semi-enclosed area with 2xwhatever and it's strong enough- btw, it's a 550, not the 650 or the 1000
