Lets see your reloading station!

[lostart]

Alright, did a quick search and only found two examples. As some of you may know, I am new to reloading and am looking for ideas as far as bench setup, components storage and such.

So, If you got em, show em.

Here is a pic of the temporary reloading bench that I built for the kitchenette that I have been in for the past 6 months. The name of the bench is called "sanity". :)

Legs are from a large kitchen table. Top two inch thick plywood that has a laminate top. Have since added a Dillon 450 on the right side of the bench.

Confinscated one of the extra bedrooms for the man cave.....Now I just gotta get the entree door secured and soundproofed to keep it that way!

Guess I should offer this to everybody...as I received when the plans were still free.

Have a PDF file with the reloading bench plans from the National Reloading Manufacturers Association.

EMAIL me if you want a copy sent to you.

Here's what I got so far. Modest but functional so far.

One thing that I need to change immediately is: get a smoother surface for the bench. I was thinking something like that peg board without the holes.


Here is the first of some 220swift loads I made

Here's a thread which goes back a few years. Some pics have been removed but there's still enough ideas here to keep you busy for a LONG time. . .

After getting tired of clearing a space on the garage counter to reload, I found these plans at accurateshooter.net/blog/benchnrma.pdf and built this bench with a few modifications. I plan on hanging a three drawer unit below to store more "stuff".

I built this bench about a year ago and have not been sorry, the inserts (one of my modifications) allow a clear benchtop for gun cleaning/smithing.

That is dang cool

I wish I had the room for somethin like that. Good work :)

[dcloco]

lostart - get rid of that spark maker out of your reloading room.

[lostart]

I figured you would say somethin about that. Don't worry....I only use it outside....even before I had powder in there.

Thanks for the thought though. Just dont have any free shelf space to store it.

Doesn't everyone keep one of those in their loading room to grind large primers down to small primers when you run out of the smalls? ;D

This was a guest bedroom. Now that the children are on their own, it has become a loading room. ;D

I just started out earlier this year so my setup is small.

Jimbo: Very adequate and a good use of space.

When the Mrs. and I were first married, the duplex home that we rented was very small. She graciously tollerated my using a portion of a walk-in closet as a reloading station. Reloaders quickly learn to manage their space quite efficiently.

[Dave4022]

Built this one in April, have added a few items since the initial build. Good Luck

Thanks Evo. So far it's working well for me. That table is actually a Microwave stand that was not being used any more. I think my wife had plans to use it as a sewing table 8)

If you've not already done so, this is a good opportunity to make some brownie points with the wife. Get her a sewing table that is a little bigger and offers more that the microwave table would. She'll remember as your reloading hobby groows. Just a thought.

ok I'll bite. It's messy but here goes.
