My primer catcher is every bit as high tech as Crusty's.
Just a different color. |

This Thread could make someone depressed! No really, I am very happy in my little corner of my room doing my thang. I have as much fun reloading as I do shooting.

The cneter table is now covered i stainless steel to match the others. Nice and cozy in my basement. Loading bench frame is 2"x2"x1/4" steel tube, full welded and bolted to a block wall. Let's see that move. |

Wow Jimbo, very nice. I would have to pinch myself from time to time to see If I had something that nice If I was dreaming. One thing I have got for others to druel is I have my own range in my backyard that really is a Big plus and deer hunt out my living room window from time to time. I'll post some photos when my tenager gets home this evening. (still learning about posting pics)

WOW Farmland,
I'd really like to have my own range!!!!!! That IS an understatement. However, I am able to hunt just minutes walk from the house and have taken critters there the last couple years. Saw some ELK there a short time back and may try for one of them come hunting season. AND, I know what you mean about having someone post stuff. Keep em coming!

I'm not sure if I could reload without a range. I am so use to just stepping out the door into the test range. I have an all weather 24hr 100 yard range, 25 yard pistol and right now a 250 yard rage. We are working to expand it to 500 yards, not that I need that much but my buddy with the heavy equipment wants it that long.
I test shoot all of my loads prior to making them in bulk it would kill me to have to travel to a range. |

Jimbo-Indy
Jimbo-Indy, One thing I'd like to add is if your room was mine, That tv would have to go(talking about distractions) in a reloading area. For me anyhow. Plus, you see me watch very little TV. Maybe one movie a year. Other than that, Love your area.

Don't have any pictures of my setup, but it consists of a Lee Pro 1000 ( yes it works fine with a little bit of care thank you ) mounted to a 3" X 3" x 6" long thick angle. The angle then clamps into the bench vise allowing for a sturdy setup that can be removed at any time. ( No, that's not a beer bottle cap crimper. . . )
The next step is going to be taking a 18 X 24 ish steel or fiberglass pan ( think lunch tray ) cut a slot in the center so the angle can pass through and then I'll have a good working surface rather than dropping down to bench top level each time I want to pickup another bullet. As some have said on other boards, put the scale on a shelf at eye level for ease of reading. |

Rembrandt...I saw the tracks you setup on other pics of your bench. I'm putting in tracks now. A couple of questions.....how did you settle on a spacing...and what did you use for bases on your equipment. It looks like some type of composite plastic but not sure...I need to find some of that....
Thanks....... |

Blues59,
If you haven't yet commited to the inletted tracks in the bench top, you might want to consider the under bench mounted receiver system. Providing you have not yet finished your bench top, the mounting bolts and holes can be filled and covered with formica or whatever your using for a top, which leaves a completely smooth bench top. The under bench receiver system allows for using many tools, quickly changing tools, or haveing no tools at all set up, again all the while having no holes, grooves, slots, rails etc. breaking up the surface of the bench. Considering I am having problems getting images posted, those who have desired to see the set up, send me their snail mail address and I send along a CD and cover letter, showing/explaining the system and what I recommend. Keep em coming! Crusty Deary Ol'Coot |

The Shop
So, I've spent quite a bit of time today perusing everyone's reloading areas, thanks for reviving this thread. As you'll no doubt see from the pictures I've got entirely too much stuff in this little area, unfortunately it's a small house with no usable basement and no garage so there's not much room anywhere. For my workshop, we put up a shed (10'x12' if memory serves) which I wired, insulated and installed the propane heater in. Worked great until we started accumulating things like lawn tractor, snowblower, generator, etc. then it got a little cluttered. This is all the room I have left.
Here's a close up of the actual bench: Re-purposed sink cabinet with bench top where both my tumbler reside: Re-purposed dishwasher which makes an excellent chemical storage cabinet: Reloading equipment: 2 RCBS Rockchucker presses (1 shown), 1 Lyman All American Turret Press, 1 Ponsness/Warren 800 Convertible press, 1 Mec press 20ga (not shown), and at least 2 of everything else. My wife calls me a pack rat. |

Do you know where to buy those benches / carts anymore? We have them here at work, but they say they are no longer available? |
