Good morning Montanan, dpe, Southpaw, Forster, MT_Sourdough, Atlaw, pab1, newstart2k, Skunk, kitchawan kid, lurker, CJ, Bilmac,thxmrgarand, Syncerus, Mcwoodduck, Brennemanj83, Old Shooter and TY22.

It's 27 degrees and over cast this morning.  The warmer temperatures are hanging in there. 

Got a bunch of projects to work on today, will be interesting to see which get done and what new projects gets created today.

One very high priority project is to get my reload bench up anjd running.  I picked up some pretty nice benches at Sams a while back with the idea of putting the reloading gear on one of them.  Well I hace C-clamped my press on one and clad that's all the effort I made to mount the press.  The bench has a laminated top that extend out 6 inch from the frame.  Well the extension is not rigid enough and flexes when I form cases.  I have been looking around and saw the 2" x 6"'s I used for my very first bench sitting over in corner.  Got the plans for that bench out of an old Handloader digest  and it is rock solid.  I think that is going to be my Project today.

Good Morning Montana!

Warming up a little here in NE Wisconsin today, but the sky is totally overcast and it seems pretty darn dark and dreary outside. The ground was almost bare of snow a few days ago, but after the recent snowstorm, the ground is once again white as, well, snow. ;)

Happy building on the bench today Double D. Maybe you might consider taking some pictures of the final product for us.

You folks have a great day.
Mike

Evenin, guys.  Got pretty nice in Billings today, saw 54 on 2 bank thermometers after my meeting at lunch.  Sounds like maybe a couple inches of snow tonight and morning.  Maybe if I hope for snow, it will quit.  My room has been condemed, have lots of brass I picked up on the range to clean and sort as well as lots of reloading to do.  Really need to rearrainge so I can fit another safe in here, wife wants it out of the family room so she can get her treadmill I got her set up.  I need to get off these cigs and get in shape for next hunting season.  Take care all.  DP
