Lets see your benches!

[guthook]

nice guthook.. note though.. you need a bigger fire extinguisher.. LOL


multi meter? trying to figure out of your brass has voltage?

oh.. i may need to borrow your dillon swagger.. hehehe

There's a second fire extinguisher just outside of the picture.

That's a cheap Radio Shack multimeter I bought in Phoenix to troubleshoot my sisters pool lighting issues. I use Fluke or GreenLee usually. I still use the RS cheapo to check household batteries.

Offer still stands. It'll cost you a cigar to use the swager. I'll supply the beers.

Yes I was talking about the hornady! Thanks for the feedback now it's on the top of my must have list.

Here's my reloading bench. It has to do triple duty as a reloading, archery, and gun workbench, so I put threaded inserts into it and have extra add-on pieces that screw onto it for a 4" vise & archery vise, and another one to hold a Dillon primer pocket swager.

 

[DocAitch]

Efficient.
You do good work.
Welcome.

I am ordering the Hornady LNL next week to start reloading on and have been doing a ton of research. I will be building a case feeder and bullet feeder, as they can be built for about $10-$70 each instead of $300-$400 each and I am already putting out close to $1,000 as is for the press and all of the other necessary items to get started. Here is a link to some pretty good videos on each, but once I build them and get them working flawlessly I would be more than happy to help out any other forum members who would like to build their own and save a ton of money too!

Here is a good quality looking Home Made Case Feeder and Bullet Feeder for a Lee Loadmaster that could be easily adapted to work on a Dillon or Hornady press: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9C3ru3FKV0&feature=plcp

Very good video on building the Bullet Collator/Feeder above, which is basically the same thing as the one Hornady charges $300+ for, and can be built for $40-$70: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aLaoB5a8zA This is that same feeder running .40 bullets to a bullet feeder die which is how I will set it up on the Hornady: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ_jfJ2flcA&feature=channel&list=UL

Here is a more detailed and motorized automatic case feeder that was made for $9.50 and is similar to the one above, but shows a little bit more information on how to build it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH-7d9IuVqY&feature=channel&list=UL

All of these videos have more information in the link beneath them and the comments as well.

There are a few other good videos as well that will pop up when you are finished watching any of the ones I have linked to. For those that are not quite mechanically inclined, this case feeder utilizes the inexpensive Lee Collator (http://www.amazon.com/Lee-LP90667-P...=1346481167&sr=8-1&keywords=lee+case+collator) and some feed tubes to work on the Hornady LNL. It is very simple, works pretty well and isn't quite as complicated as the motorized one above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meGZxZrOqOw

Here is a home made case feeder for a Dillon press with links to more information on it right under the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CY4ey8hcVg&feature=related

Another Automatic Bullet Collator/Feeder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_a87y_WguY

Again, these bullet feeders retail for $470 with a 4-6 week waiting list right now through http://www.mrbulletfeeder.biz/ which is the same design these home made ones on youtube are based on. The Hornady case feeder is around $330 and the Hornady Bullet Feeder is $300, so for $100-$150 and a little bit of time you can build each of them and save a ton of money while drastically increasing your output!

Nice bench! What did you use as the benchtop?

 

[jrumann59]

Nice bench! What did you use as the benchtop?

2 pieces of 3/4" plywood, bottom sheet is C/DX top sheet is B/C. Only reason I used plywood is because I couldn't find a solid core wood door.

PS I provided the bench design plans sans pegboard in the Water cooler as my close to 1200 post karma

 

[Angeleyes1968]

Wow, you guys are incredible! What a great skill to know!

Good luck. I do not think you will be disappointed.
