I re-arranged my loading area somewhat. Adding a Dillon 1050 necessitated building a new, lower, bench - as I like to sit when reloading.
The bench is made of 2x4s and 3/4" plywood. Two layers for the work surface (plus a piece of masonite), with a 6" overhang, and a single layer for the lower shelf (which sits on 8" legs, including one in the middle to prevent sagging). The lower shelf was designed to accomodate 50 cal ammo cans underneath it, which then necessitated a slight modification to the Lowes 5-drawer tool chest, which was an after-thought. Nothing a Sawzall couldn't fix.
The bench is fastened to the wall, screwed in to the structure behind the metal sheathing. Wire shelving from Lowes provides to the overhead storage, and power strips and LED light bars are mounted to the shelving using industrial, ANSI-rated zip ties.
A custom mount for the Mr. Bulletfeeder was further customized to sit at the correct height for the 1050, and a spare forming die from a parts bender sits on the bullet dropper, to ensure a positive return (so the tension in the feed spring doesn't hold the bulelt dropper open).
SAAMI-approved bullet guides (re-purposed cardboard from a MidwayUSA shipment) ensures that all the completed cartridges find their way into the bin - some were sneaking off behind the press.
This week's goal is to make the right-hand bench as clean-looking as the left - which is a lofty goal... it looks like a junkyard right about now
