Show off your bench day

[rayra]

well after seeing some of the palatial digs in this thread, mine looks like a mess (and this is a pic taken when it was CLEAN) -

Only cost ~$85 to build, 2x4 framing, lag-bolted together and to the wall studs, sturdy as hell. Melamine-coated particle board for the shelves / splash. Easy cleanup.

EDIT - had to go dig for some other better shots -

This is my Bench. I built it myself! In a few days I will have a second SDB setup for large primers.

P95Carry, they are the .88 Walmart bins!!! I'm sorry that I found someone with the same lid problem!! I gotta get some more next week, I'm going to leave the lids at walmart (think they will give me a discount??). lol

The CV-500 tumbler and media separator are from Dillon also.

Damon ........ hehe .. thought they were same!! I do find em useful tho . and so far have always got lids with em too. I did tho once or twice draw with black marker on lids ... and shoot em up!!

Dillon eh .... must admit I am very unfamiliar with their stuff ... your media seperator looks real good .... mine is a very large sieve held over a bucket!!

Chris, if you go back to that picture of my mini-lathe, you can see my bucket media seperator under the table.

[Damon of Baltimore]

Thanks for the idea,

Damon

Chris, if you go back to that picture of my mini-lathe, you can see my bucket media seperator under the table.

Aha ..... see that Jim ...... now THAT is what I call a sensible size ... sheesh ... you should see the small thing I use .... have to have a sheet on floor to catch ''spill-over''

Where can I get one of those?

 

[clown714]

Mine has moved to it's own seperate room in my basement which was previously storing junk. I wish I had a "before"pic. You could barely step inside the room. It's 10x10.

 

[P95Carry]

Great job Snowman ...... plenty of bench area - that's good!

 

[targetshootr]

i probably shouldnt make this a first post on any forum but what the hey. this is my garage work area...after tiddying up.

 

[P95Carry]

targetshootr - welcome to THR!

Looks well useful - but .... really would be good to know what it was like - pre the tidy up!!!

Hard place to keep tidy tho eh .... always.

 

[larryw]

And once you tiddy'ed up, you couldn't find a friggin' thing, could you?

Welcome!

Hey P95Carry:

I found a deeper version of the .88 Walmart bin that works great as a dust cover for my beam scale too. Think it was called a "shoebox" at Lowe's.

[P95Carry]

Yeah Stellar ..... know the ones I think. I guess over time I have bought about every bin ever made .. right up to huge tote boxes!!!

Great for assisting with storage but also ......... can take up a lotta space themselves!

 

[MCNamVet]

M14dan,
Now, that's a well organized set-up. Hope to have mine looking like that soon. Haven't reloaded since the '80's. Got the itch again!

 

[El Rojo]

I was looking for a place to stick my new brass storage bins I am so proud of somewhere and found this thread. Here is my set-up.

The one picture is of my reloading bench. It looks a little different in that the white storage unit on the left of the bench is now bigger and more sturdy. You can see the old way I used to store my brass underneath the work bench on the right.

The other picture is my new storage system using all plastic bins. I am rather happy with the new system.

Here's my el cheapo. An old salvaged steel desk with an old industrial solid core door mounted to the top. Free plus a few bucks for hardware.

heh. started getting email about this old topic, then noticed my pic links were broken. And I can't edit the 18-month-old post, so here's the pics to go with the post I made back then.

My new bench:

 

[44and45]

Don't you guys like reloading ammo, how come so much space on your benches...one or two presses is not enough.

Jim

 

[Bronson7]

Jim, gotta have money for components and new guns!

Just my setup.
