I'm not a big fan of "Show me your X" type threads (yeah, yeah, but yet I persist), but having completed my Springfield Mil-Spec build, I wanted to show off my home workspace. I'm an apartment dweller, so space for me is at a premium. Necessity is the mother of invention, and I've managed to shoehorn quite a bit of utility into the small storage room I have in my apartment.
Here's my work/reloading bench. It was built using pressure treated lumber salvaged from an old deck (hence the gray paint). I topped it with left-over linoleum from my friends kitchen project which makes clean-up a breeze. You can see my RCBS press, hobby vise, and tool organizer on the top and more storage underneath. To the right is my RCBS Chargemaster on a stand with all my ready and dirty brass sorted out.
Above the bench on modular heavy duty shelving I bought at KMart is my powder, bullets, boxes, and other odds and ends.
To the right of all that on the opposite wall from the bench is my ammo and tool storage shelf. This was a cheap 6 foot utility shelf from Wally World.
Now, as I just can't help myself, here's a selection of my favorite gunsmithing tools.
From top to bottom, they are:
My gear puller for removing tight parts.
My "precision" meat axe for parts fitting and stock checkering.(Large one is out for resharpening).
My 2lb gunsmithin' hammer for fitting work.
My General Purpose fitting wrench.
My heavy duty wood rasp for stock work.
My staking tool.
Precision drill.
And finally, the obligatory Dremel multitool.
I'm pretty sure that should invoke a coronary in somebody.
