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...
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...
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...
The answer is probably out here somewhere, but I haven't been able to dig it out. Quick question.
I just started loading 9mm.
cbc brass
cci primers
win 231 powder
115GR Winchester FMJ
On my first lot I used only 4.1Gr of powder. It was obviously a light load, but worked fine in my...
Point well taken...
Good points, guys. This actually started, believe it or not, with my wife asking me how much I'd be saving by reloading. Will it ever eventually pay for all that hardware? Since I'm not fond of the chore of removing baby oil from my right hand... My answer wasn't "who...
no probs... Always good to hear both sides of this type of discussion. I don't have a young family, but my grandkids are over here a lot. And they're always on the rug. I'm going to leave a second pair of shoes down at the reloading room. Just in case that styphonate hops a ride...
Thank you!!!
I just started reloading a month or so ago and wish I had read this thread before I even began. It's made me paranoid, in a good way, about handling anything in reloading that might contain lead.
I just went down to my loading area and thoroughly cleaned out my vibratory brass...
Okay... Firstly I'm not a big bean counter fan. Even though my wife used to be a cost accountant... :neener:
I've put together a spreadsheet to show how much I'm saving reloading and how it's paying off all the hardware I keep needing to buy. ;)
I've included everything that goes into...
