Reloading Room Pics

Steve B,
Love the look of your very organized bench!

I've been using a 2' x 4' bench for years. I kept saying that I was going to build a new one but the old one worked so I just kept putting up with it. After recently buying a Dillon 650 and having it bolted to one of my main work benches it was time to build a new one finally. I went with one of my quick & dirty work bench designs that work well for this type of stuff. I used the shelving unit from the old bench as I wanted time on the new bench before deciding what new features to incorporate into the new shelves. This one is 25" x 8'. I will be making a rack for holding the case feed discs & primer tubes for sure. My turret is mounted to plywood and the plywood has mounting holes that are the same as the Grabber shot shell press so they can be changed out by removing 4 nuts. I haven't installed the bolts on it yet as I'm checking the machine spacing before final mounting. I still have a ton of stuff to move from the old loading area but I was wooped and called it a day.

Simple,beautiful workmanship and it will last forever. Well organized and great looking setup!

Thanks guys. I'll post a pic of the disc & tube holder as soon as I get it built.

A New Addition to the Bench

Two years ago I began reloading and built a bench in the 'man cave'.

I wrote about it on INGO at:

It looked like this:

I recently bought a Hornady Lock-N-Load AP press. Here's an updated view of the bench. It's amazing how stuff accumulates around a reloading bench!

I would post some pics of mine but after looking at that I'll need to clean for a few days first.

Slowly getting it together.

Finally getting a little more organized. Installed some dedicated shelving and purchased some inexpensive plastic containers at Menard's. Shot my 2000th reloaded 9mm this morning.

I finally had a chance to build my disc and primer tube storage container. I still have to final sand, prime and paint it Dillon blue. It holds 3 feed discs and 11 primer tubes. Sure makes the loading bench cleaner. No more chance of discs getting knocked off the bench or shelf. Plus, as I use the primer tubes I flip them upside down so I know which are ready and which are empty. Works great!

Once you paint it "Dillon Blue" are you going to sell it for way more than it's worth? I am kidding.

Nice workmanship. I like it.

 

[Steve B]

Thanks. I figure Dillon will start selling them as soon as they see them. Plastic only version, $49.95

I like that !! Mind if I "steal" your design ??

Josh, feel free to steal away. I've been loading heavily for two days now getting ready for our annual pumpkin shoot. The tube rack on the front makes it really nice as I can tell loaded from unloaded tubes at a glance. (unloaded are colored tip down) My rack sits behind my press which makes it very convenient as well. I may add a tool rack to the end for the allen wrenches I use all the time as well.
On another note. I drilled 5 holes in the bench next to the press yesterday. After searching for 10 minutes for a pin I knocked off the bench while setting up. Now the 2 black pins and the 3 brass pins can be put in holes in the bench so they don't run off while doing set up.

My little corner of the word.
The bench is made of recycled 2"X6" and 3" screws from pallets. Finished off with left over barn paint.

Another primer pickup tube rack.

Wow looks like this thread is asleep no new stuff for two weeks!

Nothing much new here either other than that I am now also loading .45 ACP in addition to 9mm. I needed a new rack to hold both the large and small primer pickup tubes as well as the magazine tube that is not in use at the time so this was what I built (painted Dillon blue of course). Also built a sub-base for the tool-head stand that also holds the primer bar that is not in use and a little stand for my powder pan and a rack for the case gauges. Sometimes it's the simple things that make life easier. Little by little the reloading area is improving.

Love the door! I have a 10' X 10' room in the basement all concrete walls,ceiling and floor (the ceiling is part of the attached garage floor). It was the coal bunker 50 years ago. I have been thinking about making it my reloading room/gun safe and that door would be perfect.
