I love that bench man. And nice bolts you got there. I gotta get me a stainless bench like that, I bet cleanup is a breeze.
Show us a picture of your reloading bench

Muzzlebrake, it is def. not the latter. I don't think it is possible to have too many guns!

The LnL has been a good press so far. Maybe 15,000 +++thru it since new and no signs of wear.
It handles all medium cases without any glitches but when I get into long magnums I go to the RCBS equipment just because.
It's real good and easy to run pistol loads on.

I load at the kitchen table. My wife doesn't say much about it because the whole setup was a gift from my father-in-law.
Not shown is the reloading manual by my computer, loading blocks in the back shoebox and the various containers that were inspired by this board such as, peanut butter jars, snack jars, etc. The kitchen has its own fire extinguisher.
This whole setup can be packed into single box in about 45 seconds of so.

Here you go LAH. The press is attached to 1/8 aluminum plate. There is a solid brace under that, that is attached by the screws on the side. I am the third owner. The original owner was a merchant seaman who had the press with him on a ship so needed to keep it portable. He was friends with my FIL. When he passed away his widow gave it to my FIL who passed it on to me when he found out my interest in reloading. I have had it about six weeks. I only reload for .45 and .357. It works well without being clamped down. A hand on top to steady it on the down stroke and a hand on the front of the board to steady it on the up stroke.
It's great to see the ingenuity that is on display in this thread. The American spirit of individuality and inventiveness is alive and well.
Can anyone tell me about the vintage of this press? I think its from the late 60s or early 70s, but, I am not sure.

Thanks guys.
The table is SS and it comes from a commercial kitchen. Start loitering around restaurant supply houses and your liable to find one for far cheaper than you could buy/have made new.

Bolt guns is a Titanium Remington I built for a customer in 06. 280AI sheep gun.

Hey Doc, I like that set up because it's compact and everything at arm's reach. I also like the woodwork above the desk. Are those cabinet doors?

Holy crud, palmerj, how many guys do you have working for you? LOL! What a layout!! Could you please tell me what the dark colored press is to the left side next to a Hornady (I think)?
I have a little manufacturing business where I have 2 AmmoLoad machines a few Camdex machines, 6 Dillon 1050's, 5 Rock Chuckers and 2 more Hornay 50BMG presses. But when I load for myself I like those Redding T-7's. Oh I forgot I mounted a Hornady LnL auto press to a bench in my guarage 2 years ago but have never used it anybody want it? I still prefer to do everything single stage.

long time lurker, but i dont post here much.
this thread has given me MANY ideas, and i feel compelled to share my setup.
i'm a BIG fan of the blue koolaid (hence my 550b), but nothing beats a rockchucker for a good single stage for my highpower loads
this is the bench as of a couple of weeks ago. i actually began extending it tonight (quickly ran out of space for case prep and the like). i've actually extended the bench another (almost) 6 feet to the right, and another ~ 30" around the corner, butting up against my safe (which is lagged to the floor, and not easily moved). so far it's just framed out. i'll be cutting the 3/4" CDX tops tomorrow, and putting formica down on the section that L's over towards the safe. i'd rather not spend another $50 on another sheet of formica for the right end of the bench, seeing as all i plan on doing there is case prep.

Palmer,
with those two T7's and a single stage in the middle, this looks like a bench that gets down to business. I have a T7 myself and this is the first time that I have seen 2 of them side by side on the same bench. Very Cool...
What the ???... 2 Charge Master combo's ??? Okay, I get it. You get down with it!!!
