Just built my reloading bench

Figured out an area in the basement to build a bench. The main part of the bench is about 40" wide and about 24" deep. Next to it are come cabinets and a about 36" wide and about 12" deep shelf.

Sure it is smaller than I would have liked, but a start is a start.


Bare area before build


Shelf frame all built up


Bench done, with the JR2 mounted.


Need to add some shelves, above and below, some storage containers and the like. All in all it is a good start, I think.

I know people like to take pride in building their own bench. But I just went to Sears and bought a craftsman steel workbench with the wood top and was done with it.

Not very expensive, and it came with drawers and shelves and everything.

While I am at it, need to add photography (film, not digital) and my car (84 Vette) to the list as well.

My wife keeps imploring me to find a hobby that is cheap. She has suggested gardening. While I am not interrested in gardening, I am ABSOLUTELY certain I could make sure it would be costly :P

My bench is small like that. But like you said it is someplace to work.

Nice job. You can always buy those cheep plastic shoe box size containers for all your other stuff. The lids seal good,they stack,see thru and can always be used for brass later when your reloading needs expand.
