Show us a picture of your reloading bench

Here are a couple of more views of my bench set up.

My reloading scale is mounted on a fold down shelf on the component cabinet.
I had to modify the NRMA design a bit because my scale is taller than the ones it was designed to accommodate.

Note the shorter support chain on the left side to provide better access to the tray.

Here is a view of the primer catch jar attached to the bench.
Also shown is the method I used to attach the ¼ in wing nuts for the tool keys.

New to THR and reloading.

Hi everyone, I'm the new guy. I have only been reloading since March of this year. My setup is simple. Only working with 9mm at the moment.

I have another desk to the left that my powders and misc supplies/tools are stored.

@mannus - Welcome aboard! There are some really great folks here… enjoy them and your stay.

The important thing about loading/reloading is that you get your feet wet. Your set up may be simple (KISS) but it has you into rolling your own. Lots of people are still “thinking” about it, so that puts you way ahead of the procrastinators.
 
LOVE seeing what everyone does with the area and materials they have for this reloading!!!!!
 
Here is a pic of mine, not pretty but reasonably functional. It is a mess now because of my new press. Once I get it setup I will clean it back off

Okay, let's get the flaming started... 2 free pallets, 2 leftover 2X6's, a stack of unfinished hardwood flooring scraps, an unused DVD cabinet, lamp from an unused bench grinder. Total cost, $0. Sturdy, suits my needs, and gave me something to do on a boring Saturday. The radio breaks the monotony during case prep (NEVER on when powder is on the bench) and the cooler keeps steady temp and humidity for my powder.

Limited space ;) Actually, I cannot figure out how to rotate my crappy phone pics on here.

Whew, that was a lot of work, but at least I don't have to lay down to work my press :D

My old bench. I used this for about 20 years. Over time it had accumulated an RCBS single stage press, a powder measure, a Redding T7 turret press and I would also temporarily attach a case trimmer and a Lee Classic Cast press to it. Yes, it was a bit crowded but shows what you can do with a little space.

The new bench measures 2.5 feet wide and 12 feet long. To make the top I glued and screwed 1 inch pieces of plywood together. The top is setting on two work benches I got at Lowe's. Yes, a LOT more room. I didn't consider the lower shelf sturdy enough so made a frame 2 X 6s cut to supply support to the bottom shelf so now I can load it with a ton of stuff without damagning it.
 
Combatinfidel; Okay, I'll bite. What's the can of similac used for?



I have 4 kids the youngest just turned 1 the cans are great for keeping brass sorted throughout the process as I can only manage to spend about 20 minutes at a time out there

I got some shelves built so my bench is finally coming together. Now im hunting some good plastic storage bins (sturdy) to clean up my supplies on the bottom shelf.

Brand spanking new. Needing help figuring out what peg accessories to buy. Can't find much in the line of gun rack attachments for a pegboard.
