    The old bench just wasnt cutting it anymore. No room for handgun and rifle reloading, so I started fresh.

    hole- the 4' flourescent is a home depot special. just some crappy aluminum foil pressed to look like diamond plate. sure wish i had the setup to do that kind of sheetmetal work.

    baer, that wood burning is a nice touch.

    Thanks. The Colt in actually routered out and filled with clear coat. The Smith sign was too small for that so I just wood burned it.

    You guys are a bunch of neat freaks. I'd be embarassed to post my multi purpose (I know where everything is, so don't touch anything) bench. :o

    Man Reloading while watching porn on the internet and chugging sugar-filled sodas Remind me never to shoot any of your "slow weekend" stuff, I have a feeling you could easily double charge or something with all that distraction.
    But I love it!

    OK, here's the "after tidying up" pictures: :sad20:

    Don't worry ATF, the ones on the right are empty and used for storage.

    Some cleaning and prep accessories:

    Press, dies and many other things:

    The mirror is for watching the TV behind me:

    Bullets to feed that hungry brass:

    Now mind you, all of these things aren't on the bench while I work, that's what pool tables are for. ;)

    they all get charged and bullets seated in the basement, aka fortress of solitude. I only sort, size, trim, prime and crimp upstairs, that way, there are no mistakes, and I don't spill powder on the carpet. The tedious buisy work helps pass the time.

    nice benches but it just looks like way too much work.
    I find it difficult to get motivated to just clean my guns
    If I had to reload I would never have any ammo to shot.

    Here are some pics of my bench, its messy right now. Under the blue cover is a Dillon 550 B. Under the red cover is a MEC grabber in 12 gauge. Also on the bench are a Lyman Orange Crusher, a Lyman All American Turret, MEC Grabbers in 16 & 20 and a MEC JR in 10. Also a PW 375 in 12.
