9$ at Menards. Solid as a rock !
 
I remember starting with a sizing die cut with a reamer and all tasks were by hammer and scale some 50 years ago.
I am jealous of you guys with only one press and several cans of powder.
I had it get away with me and now I have a mess:eek:

I was going to say a lot of your benchs are way too clean and then Edward showed up and restored my faith in my fellow man. (LOL)

Nice lathe you have there Edward.

Here are some pictures of my reloading setup and my RCBS Pro 2000 press. The built-in cabinets hold powder, cases, and primers. The bench is heavily reinforced to manage the heavy Pro 2000 without the need for legs on the bench.

Here's mine. Have a 12'x20' cave in the backyard that has 2 rooms. Back room is for reloading 7'x12'. Previous owners had a sub-floor built in the back room. I gutted it and left the floor beams in as bench and shelf starters, but they were too low for a bench, so I built it up which allowed me the opportunity for the built-in compartments.

I couldn't live with not utilizing the spaces at the ends of the bench so I did this

I'm new to reloading, but I was very committed to the hobby. I amassed knowledge, equipment, tools, and components for a year and a half. You guys and this forum were a gigantic help, resource, and motivation. I have built one workbench in my entire life, so it was a large undertaking for me, as I am not a builder of things. I had to listen to my buddy for a while "what's taking you so long?", "you think too much!". He doesn't shoot much less reload, so he didn't understand. I didn't want any regrets after I was done. I have subsequently loaded my first rounds recently. Started with .38 special. Haha, I even bought a new S&W mdl 67 chambered in .38 because I didn't want to use my .357s to test loads. Here are the results of my first 4 10-shot groups. Target at the 9 0'clock position were the first 10 rounds I ever reloaded. Did a 4-way split on powder weight-3.7, 3.9, 4.1, 4.3 gr off W-231 pushing a Berrys 158 FP, Magtech SPP, Speer once fired cases. Fired at 10 yds. Results are a topic for another discussion. I owe you guys a lot. Thanks to all.
