My new reloading bench.
« on: January 21, 2007, 03:02:36 PM »
I finally got my new bench built and all set up.  I was going to build a bigger one and put it in the garage but the single digit temps last weekend made me rethink that plan a bit.  I built the bench based on the plans I received from PaulS (thanks a bunch PaulS  ;))
I made my bench a bit deeper front to back so that I could build a lockable cabinet to keep little fingers from getting into everything.  The cabinet is a seperate peice which can be removed for easier moving.  I have about $90 in materials and about 2 hrs in labor in the whole project.

Nice setup.
I had a small one and finally got around to build this one. Need to finish the shelves in the bottom of it. Going to store the bullets in the bottom.  No I did not steal the top from the loacl bowling alley!!!! I bought the top at a damage freight store for 50 bucks. It was damaged on both ends so I cut three inches off each end. Going to build shelves on the wall to store the dies & etc.






I made this Dillon Tool Head holder a few years ago.

IwannabeSWAT,

Great job on that bench! It looks like you almost doubled the table top depth.
You will notice that it doesn't move at all when in use, even though its light weight. My brother and I have been using ours for quite a while and they are just a good no frills bench that you can put just about anywhere.

If anyone needs the plans just e-mail me at: paulstephens(AT)comcast(DOT)net and put "reloading bench" in the subject line. I will send you the dimensioned plans for free. I don't charge for the plans but I do accept donations.
