Show us a picture of your reloading bench

Kevin,

Where in NE Ohio are you? I grew up in Barberton, just outside of Akron.

 

[Kevin Rohrer]

I am mildly amazed that I see so little in the way of older presses. Most everyone has benches full of Lee, RCBS, and Dillon stuff.

Where are all the old-timers and their equally old equipment?

I wouldn't mind a Hollywood Senior single stage...I just haven't gotten around to snagging one yet. That said, it will probably come after a Hornady L'nL-AP progressive...

Thank you, Redneck With a .40 (post #48)

You gave me the idea to use a 2x6" board to mount my Lee press to my bench (with uneven edge). You saved me!

I finally remembered that I was a member here and figured I should share my bench

 

[Kevin Rohrer]

Vanrichten,

Are those Franklin Mint old west badges in that display case on the wall?

If so, I have both sets.

 

[Maverick223]

Thanks for the PM, Kevin. One back at 'ya.

 

[vanrichten]

Kevin Rohrer, no those are various challenge coins I have collected over the years.

I spy a RWVA hat in that last pic also. I got one of those also!

(still haven't gotten a shot of my bench yet, it is still too damn cold out there!)

Loading up some 25-06

 

[AZHunter]

nevermind did it

 

[AZHunter]

this is of two rock chucker supremes, auto charge dispenser, cartridge prep station, we don't use the lyman trimmer anymore... we use lee trimmers instead, and a bunch of dies, we don't keep our powders or primers with our bench just because it's in the garage

 

[AZHunter]

i'll post a more updated one, we have a lot more dies and finished ammo

Old timer here with plenty of old stuff that I make good use of. Such as using my old Hollywood for a bookend. Also makes good doorstop. (Photo attached) And speaking of old stuff, does anyone recognize the tool in other attached photo.

New Man Cave!

Well, I told the wife I needed some reloading stuff for Christmas.
We aren't going to have ours until Monday when the kids get in from Missouri so..... I took the time to rearrange stuff. We keep getting rid of kids, married now and out of the house so I took over a bedroom in the basement.

I didn't choose the color and I think Lavender is a relaxing color anyway!

Here is the door!


The computer in the corner!


The shelves:

The presses:



As I was cleaning up I found a bunch of empty, imagine that, empty ammo boxes! I have got to fill them UP!



Enjoy, Merry Christmas!

A purple man cave...........original!

It also appears that you have a label maker!

Purple is the new black, ya know.

Real men can even wear pink and no one will ask if they are manly!

That last kid to have that room was a girl! What can I say. Too cheap to repaint and hey, lilac is a soothing color!

Sacrilege! Say something like this on the wrong reloading site and you would be getting more than a lump of coal in your stocking. Guido Claus and his Goombahs would be paying you a visit w/ a "special present" you couldn't refuse.

MY Senior prominently bolted to the bench:


Amidst other old, but supremely serviceable presses, including two other, even older Hollywoods down on the end.

 

[Kevin Rohrer]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

[9X23WIN]

Kevin, you have too many reloaders and that's an illness! The only cure there is by selling them to me.

 

[Kevin Rohrer]

I have a Hollywood Universal III (newer version of the reindeer press) for sale. It isn't in the picture.

Wow! An invite like that sounds too tempting not to take advantage of. Let me know the referenced "wrong reloading site" and I'll be there with sleigh bells all agingle. As to the old Follywood tools, the Sr; it's about the right size and weight for bookends and doorstops, as noted. But the Universal l(ugh) is even less appealing. We had a couple in our old shop before cleaning out and junking a bunch of such stuff. They are too big, ugly and heavy even for doorstops but, come to think of it, may provide some redemptive service as boat anchors. Which goes to show that even scrap iron can be put to good use if you use some imagination.

I'll give you $10 for the bookend.
