Pictures of your reloading bench/equipment
- Thread starter Sriracha
- Start date
After looking at all these pics of you guys' loading areas, I think I'll just keep mine to myself...
Mine is in my garage.. I used a solid core door as a table top, with doubled 2X4's for legs, with a center support to help prevent sag.
I am somewhat less than organized... I have shelves, but the table top is pretty well covered with stuff. Old targets, case trimmers, new brass that I haven't "conditioned" yet, powder dispenser, scale, deburring tools, replacement punches and springs for my priming tools, about 18 little allen wrenches, most of which are the wrong size for die lockrings, two or three manuals that I seem to never get back in the shelf after looking at them, two dial calipers, a 1" Starrett micrometer, a few random bullets, from cast .45-70's to jacketed .224's.. and the last time I looked, a staple gun that my wife left laying there. I told her to quit "junking up" my bench..
Perhaps I should post a pic as a good example of how NOT to do it..

Morn'in reloaders,
I think that somewhere back in the pages of this thread, I mentioned my Under Bench Receiver System of loading tool mounting.
Over time a friendly poster or two has taken a CD of images from my system and posted them on whatever forum we happened to be on.
However, I again and finally, figured it out how to send images to an "E" mail address, so if anyone wants to see a set showing this great system set up and ready to use, send me your "E" address and I'll attempt to send you the photographs.
Still have not figured out how to post to the forums. My images are heavy digital files, so that is probably part of the problem.
Keep em coming!

Because of a lack of room in my house, I went with the "small bench built on a Black and Decker Workmate" route. It's not much, but it's enough for me to reload. Eventually (soon, hopefully!) we'll be in a bigger place where I can actually have a shop or garage...
Made with 3/4" pine plywood all around, fastened with 1/4" dowels. Before sanding and urethane:
After a few rounds of reloading; the high walls on the shelf keeps stuff from falling off and provides a good place for me to keep my manuals.

A good idea. a Slideshow of all the loading setups.
Collect all the fantastic pics off this topic, and put them in a slideshow type of file. Maybe put some caption boxes below each picture for notes/comments and Credits.
I don't know how this can be done for all of the site members to be able to see. Any Idea's.

Remember, the "rail system" or any other top of bench system, breaks up, cuts up, grooves up the bench top.
Not so with the underbench "receiver system" which leaves the bench top un-mared and allows for changing of loading tools for the job, even having a vice at the bench if desired, And/Or having as many tools up and ready as you have receivers.
Having a clean smooth and unbroken bench top and your tools in place for use, all at the same time is like having your cake and eating it too.
Keep em coming!

My little set up for Pistol Reloading. .40 S&W for now, might venture into 9mm and/or .45 eventually. Lee loadmaster for most of the work, Lee single stage to run the .40 Casings thru a lee buldge buster to get rid of "Glocked Up" brass (this works great BTW!).
