Those are pretty nice press stands, oldreloader. They look simple and sturdy. Make them yourself?

Yes it is. I like it myself. The Speer and Sierra are also older books. I have newer but the ones you see there stay on the bench.

BigBore45, I count more than 20 lbs of powder. ATF rules require that an individual that has more than 20 lbs of powder store it in a wood box made of at least 1" thick sides.
I just completed making boxes for my powder. They are actually several small boxes with 1/2" sides that fit in a big box that has 3/4" sides.
From what I have read, the idea is to have at least 1" that a fire would burn through before the powder would burn.
Do not put powder in a sealed container because if the powder goes off in a sealed container, it could possibility cause an explosion when the gases caused by burning powder create a pressure that would cause the sealed container to blow.

there half full with loose caps................... who does not used sealed containers??? moisture will contaminate the powder and cause squib loads.

I currently have in excess of 360 pounds of powder in my facility.
When loading 50BMG's for 2 guns for all years matches and only getting 26 rounds per pound, it takes a lot of powder.
Rules are meant to be bent.
Do you ALWAYS drive the speed limit?

cgrutt,
Now that's a bench.
First rate.
Do you have the drawings and plans for it to share?
Nickb45,
What is all that stuff?
For a business or a runaway hobby?

Am I the only one who checks out everyone's components just as much as their bench in these pics?
I have a bit of component envy.
