A few more additions... I built this small sliding door cabinet to lock down my primers as my grandchildren tend to get curious about this stuff... I also built a locking door for one of the cubbyholes in the back of the bench for the powder. I was keeping this stuff in my safe, but I...

Get them bullets reloaded??? Don't have time, what with all the carpentry work and all... :D

Continued... Almost done... promise!!! FINALLY found a decent bracket for the magnifier to get rid of that bulky base that kept tipping over. Even hit the floor and blew a fuse once... Built these shelves up in the rafters to hold a nice old pair of Advent bookshelf speakers... I've...

My gun area... I don't have any pictures of my first attempt at a loading bench. This is a bench I bought from Harbor Freight Tools and built a hutch on top to match it... Another shot, showing more of the work area... Another shot showing a bit more... I built another bench and...

There are seventeen freakin' locks on that pegboard... oy vey. I think it's time to put most of 'em in a drawer or something. I never even thought about it until you brought it up. It's just been... new gun = hang lock on pegboard. <------------ creature of habit...

Finally got around to the white pegboard... A whole lot more of a pain in the ass than I'd assumed... Another Shot... (I know... the locks are still there ;-) ) Got kind of carried away with the shelves that hold the speakers for the stereo/tv... I've actually done a whole...

Still working on this... Next is the new full size white pegboard... Re-finished the front of the cleaning bench to match the reloading bench... I built a whole new bookcase to replace the old, beat up, dark wood one that was here. It's built in the same style as the hutches... came...

Like everyone elses loading bench, this is a work in progress. I think I'm just over half finished. I added a second "hutch" that's actually a 24" cube. This way I have access to shelving both in the front, and back of the unit... The rear of the unit. That television is also now the...

Harbor Freight Tools Workbench... I've seen a number of discussions on reloading boards about the 60" Harbor Freight Tools workbench and its suitability for use as a reloading bench. I only reload handgun ammo so I don't need an aircraft carrier class bench... What I really needed was more...

NICE!!! How hard is it to separate the brass/media/water? If I stuck brass in my wife's oven, though... I'd have to hide the rolling pin... :uhoh:

stainless steel pins in a tumbler? What kind/brand of tumbler? Like a rock polishing tumbler? This sounds interesting...

Okay... this is probably a stupid question and if so won't be my first or last. The one thing I don't at all enjoy about reloading is cleaning primer pockets with a hand tool. I'm wondering if it makes more sense to buy something like the "RCBS Trim mate" to help automate the task to a...

A work in progress... I started reloading a few months ago, and I'm pretty much out of room. This is just a makeshift reloading bench with plans for a total do-over in the spring. I'm having a bulkhead installed for better access to the basement and this whole shebang is right in the way...

I've been dampening a large patch with Marvel Mystery Oil and lubing every other case. Poifect! -Gillis

Thanks... Excellent advice. I think I need a couple more manuals. -Gillis
