Well,
I had a fit of inspiration the other day and started drawing up plans for a reloading bench to help me get started reloading. I've looked all over for ideas and many of you here were very helpful by posting photos of your respective setups. Some of you were quite imaginative. Like, I never would have thought of converting my closet into a reloading area. Cool. Anyway, after drawing up the plans last thursday, I went to Home Depot Saturday morning before the rush and had the guy there cut me a bunch of 2x8's to length. I got all the necessary nuts, bolts, & washers, as well as, lag bolts and "went to town" for the next 3 hours assembling my bench. Its not pretty but its solid and, thanks to the bolts (no nails), I can take it apart anytime I need in order to move it to another location. I also countersunk all the bolt heads so that I could put a smooth piece of plywood (or whatever) on the top without them (the bolt heads) getting in the way.
Now I just have to be patient and wait for my reloading equipment on Christmas morning.
Thanks for all your help.
All the best,
