Reloading Bench Build Thread

[Doublehelix]

DAMN dude! You have the reloading bench from heaven! What an awesome setup. Nice just doesn't sum it up! I am envious to say the least.

Hehe... thanks man, kind words indeed! Remember I had several months to plan this before I was able to secure the room, so I had lots of time to plan and build the bench before getting to my first load.

Just to bring closure to this thread, here are the final images that I took with a real camera (Image heavy).

Thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions and help.

Thanks for making me feel bad about mine! Everything looks awesome! Now if only that press was blue.

I'm digging the led strip light mounted to the press, looks a lot brighter than my single led

Excellent thread and super nice bench! I have finally decided in my home that I'm renovating where I am going to put my reloading area. I think I can make that plan work well in my designated space.

Good idea on the powder and primer boxes. I'll have to incorporate those into the design.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

Too neat, too clean, too organized....I couldn't work in an environment like that.

Great job on a setup you can enjoy for a lifetime.

Lol, let me get a pic of mine. It's probably more to your liking

Hehe... someday I am sure that will happen.

That's the bomb right there!

Thanks guys!

These are LE 5050 strip lights, are brighter than some of the other versions I have seen out there. I got mine from Amazon (you will also need a power supply with plug):

Thanks! The plans for the bench itself are all over the internet. Here are a couple of links:

I modified the plans slightly, and did not put the sliding doors on the rear shelves, changed the height, etc.

I definitely *love* organization and order. I am much more efficient that way and make less mistakes.
