Show us a picture of your reloading bench

[gilgomesjr]

Still working on this... Next is the new full size white pegboard... Re-finished the front of the cleaning bench to match the reloading bench...



I built a whole new bookcase to replace the old, beat up, dark wood one that was here. It's built in the same style as the hutches... came out pretty kewl...



Here's a different angle, showing the hutches and the TV/PC monitor...



That's an original small Advent speaker up there on that platform. The platform is also built in the same style as the hutches. There's a twin speaker on the other side of the cleaning bench, which puts my stool right about in the middle of the two...

gil - I like it, but I dont get the lock collection...someone should come up with a good use for those...like make a chain for vehicle recovery...

 

[gilgomesjr]

Finally got around to the white pegboard... A whole lot more of a pain in the ass than I'd assumed...


Another Shot... (I know... the locks are still there ;-) )



Got kind of carried away with the shelves that hold the speakers for the stereo/tv...


I've actually done a whole lot more work since these pictures were taken. I'm almost done... I hope... I'm so freakin' OCD...

 

[jluther820]

I know I gave you greif about the locks, but I am jealous of the space to hang all the bore snakes.

 

[gilgomesjr]

There are seventeen freakin' locks on that pegboard... oy vey. I think it's time to put most of 'em in a drawer or something. I never even thought about it until you brought it up. It's just been...

new gun = hang lock on pegboard.

<------------ creature of habit...

Wow, I never thought about using peg board.. this should be a budget friendly DIY material. Thanks.

The big brown truck brought me a pitcher full of the more expensive Kool-aid than I already had today! More pics to come! YAY!!

Been planning my new bench for months and finally got it about 90% done. Once I get all the tools and garbage off of it I am going to post a few pictures...

I started by making a portable block out of 2 3/4" pieces of Plywood glued and screwed together. This allows me to clamp it to a 2 ft wide folding table when I want to reload inside.



We built a new house in 2009 and I built a workshop with A/C.


I installed some old entertainment center cabinets and topped them with a couple layers of 3/4" MDF which I then put Formica on top. I also put in some T-Track so that I could clamp the reloading block as needed.



This is the block clamped down.



This is a Step Stool that I built. I made the dimensions wider so my butt will fit.



I still have a little empty walls that will be filled up some day.

Joe, I like your clamping device.

 

[LouisianaJoe]

I bought this kit plus 2 extra hold-down clamps.

Just started reloading. Very simple setup.

 

[hTx]

My bench..





LNL AP mounted to Dillon's strong mount.

 

[LAH]

Standtall, simple is great when we begin. Welcome to the board & there's nothing wrong with that set up.

 

[Maverick223]

StandingTall & hTx, welcome to THR!

P.S: What is the ESD wrist-band for?...do you also work on 'puters/electronics at the bench or does that help with static in the powder dispenser (or is it for something else handloading/firearms related)?

 

[SWATRET]

hTx, very nice! Do you like the DP strong mount under that Hornady AP? How difficult was it to fit to the Hornady?

 

[REL1203]

HTX, similar question to the above from SWATRET, would love to hear some details on how you did the Dillion StrongMount with the LNL AP.

 

[StandingTall]

Maverick223,

Thanks for the welcome!

The ESD band is just an "extra" precaution to prevent static discharge when I'm handling powder. The static gets pretty bad here during the winter. I realize that may be overkill to some, but I'm a electronic tech by trade and I've seen what static electricity can do.
