that's quite clever cosmoline. and DOH!!! I never knew there was such a thing as a hand press. it's not in my Lee 2nd Edition Reloading Manual!! GRRR...
USSR, I really have been trying to get my press up and running. but I'm doing three jobs, taking care of my disabled father, driving 60 miles round trip a day to and from work, grading papers, and on top of that being a mentor to at-risk kids.
I don't have very much time for myself. I also grew up in a household without much tool-learning. never got much of an education in tool using, etc. so i have no real tools, and little skill. theoretically i could build a bench, but i can't even manage a straight cut with a hand saw on a 4x2 properly.
this weekend, i plan to take some time to myself and try my hand at building it. if you (or anyone else) has suggestions on how i might build a bench, or what tools i should invest in (like what kind of drill i should buy - the Target cordless drill i have is a piece of crap) id welcome any advice. the DIY kits that ive been looking at seem awfully fragile.
