How about showing some pics of your reloading benches. This would help out alot for those of us trying to setup or reorganize.

You guys are WAY too organized

And you need more stuff.
My metallic reloading is on the right, that blue Pacific press has been replaced with a Rockchucker and my Shotshell loading is at the back of the room beside the safe.

Just got restarted (since just after Christmas) and I'm still workin' on it.

These are great for when I don't want to heat up the entire place and just heat me. Let's me start reloading quicker, as the gas heater takes quite awhile to bring the temp of the entire shop up to comfortable.

You guys need more STUFF, clutter and gadgets!
Then again I have been reloading for over 28 years and finding bargains the whole time

I have a shed that I remodeled into my reload room. It is 12'x20' and has enough room to take care of my needs. Here are a few pictures of the room after I first started:

Since this was taken I have mounted a T7 Turret and a Rock Chucker press. It is more cluttered now and more lived in. I made this table myself. It is 10' long and made of 2x8's of treated lumber and the frame is made with 2x4's. It takes two men and a boy to move, but that is what you want in a reload table.

I got this table from a friend and put my Hornaday Progressive loader on it.

I bought a new safe for this corner. I need to take some more current photos when I get a chance. If you can make a setup like this it is great. It gets you out of the house and away from people.

umm ahh umm I think I'll just slink off and try to clean up my bench a little - can barely find the top what with Hunter Ed materials piled on one end, kid toys to be repaired etc. No I haven't loaded since October and the junk is piling on fast.

My hat is off to you more tidy and organized folks. Tidy and organized is safer too.

Thanks all for sharing.

Nice setups guys! The stand alone building looks really nice Larry! I had a 12'x24' that I got crowded out of (storage space now). I am confined to my little office in the house now. Kinda cozy tho, and easy access to the head. (Important these days).

Really great it gives me allot of ideas that I have not thought of.

Here's mine. After moving 4 times in 9 years, I built a bench composed of individual modules that can be taped shut and moved. They stack using dowel pins. The two tumbler media pails are on drawer slides. The legs bolt to the table top. I can add a module or re-purpose one if needed.

Lawful Larry · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2008, 10:27:12 AM »

Nice setup there Dave, but it doesn't look lived in. It looks too clean as if your wife just got through cleaning all your stuff after you went hunting one weekend. At least mine had an excuse for looking so neat and clean. I took my photos just after I finished putting it all together.

Only kidding, it looks great.

Hairtrigger · « **Reply #15 on:** February 01, 2008, 10:45:03 AM »

I see several of you guys sit in chairs to reload. I have my presses mounted 8" above the bench as to make it easier to load from a stool. My reasoning is it is easier to get up to grab more primers or another box of bullets or whatever

davem270win · « **Reply #16 on:** February 01, 2008, 12:42:40 PM »

Trust Me, Larry - it didn't look like that for very long! I took advantage a got a picture whilst I had the bench cleaned up.

This is my little get away.

I have started to close in my screen porch and I am going to make it into a reloading room but I got to find away to get all of the safes back downstairs and then I need to finish buying equipment. It is going to take me a while longer.

My setup is a little different than most. We made it out of a cabinet left behind by a tenant of one of my Dad's rental buildings. We nailed a piece of 3/4" plywood on each end to stiffen it up, a couple of shelves across the top, and some handles on each end. The best part about it, it's is mounted on swivel casters so when ever anybody gets tired of looking at the beautiful thing, we just push it in the closet or garage or where ever.

I am attempting to put a picture on here but it is the first time that I have done this so I hope it works.

Mine.
Small, but getting bigger.

Now if it would just start producing some better groups!
