My work/loading/whatever needs to be done bench and shop. Hopefully next shop will have a little more static spot for loading vice having to pull the press on and off to make room for the next "this old house" project. When I do I'll make the bench about six inches higher.

I really admire how neat your benches are. My bench is really crowded with 2 presses, 2 powder measures and 2 Forster case trimmers plus 16 sets of dies, etc. I perform only one step at a time (after cleaning off the stuff I am not using).

I developed the plans for my bench from thinking of my needs; the bench is 3' wide by 4' long and made of 2x4's with 4x4 legs and 2 5/16 sheets of OSB screwed to the frame. A storage rack is attached to the top of the bench for storing primers, dies, bullets, tools, etc. I brushed 8 coats of polyurethane on the OSB. Not the prettiest bench, but heavy duty and works for me!

I`ve 2 benches, one 30"x8' the other 30"x6'. One, the longer, is dedicated to reloading, the other is used for cleaning and other household chores.
Both are built on a 2x4 frame with a pair of 2x12s covered with a sheet of 3/4" plywood as a top. Plywood sides raised ~ 1" above the top help reinforce it and keep loose stuff from falling off the shelf/top in the back. The thing is heavy as hell, but it doesn`t move or flex no matter what I`m doing on it.

Here is are a couple of pictures of my most recent setup. I got the plans free from Ray-Vin.com. It fits nicely in the corner of the garage, and the doors can be shut and locked to keep out dust and unauthorized people.

Doors closed

Reloading area, where most high volume is done, the bench in the background is to mount various shotgun reloaders, one at a time...




The primers are stored on these shelves..



The boxes of loaded ammo and shotgun shells go on these shelves



The bulk ammo in large containers on these shelves...



The rest of the components, ie bullets and powder are stored on other shelving in my personal bunker...

With the upcoming elections, I'm not sure I have enough. I am going to load up during the next several gunshows.

I don't know shrapnel, but I can tell by his reloading room that I would like him....go in there, open a couple of beers and let him show you around....

Now I like that....Some of the others look too neat....

Any one got any fresh pics of there reloading bench? Im getting started on mine and need ideas......

Thought I had posted mine to this old thread but it must have been to an older one. I've done a couple of things that you might consider.

This is photo of "clean" bench. There are two removable sandwichs in the benchtop that enable easily mounting and dismounting several presses and other tools such as trimmers.

These are the slots and detail on the blank sandwiches.

Bench with Forster Coax mounted.

Detail of mount on Rockchucker.

Currently used die storage.

Trimmer mount. The Harrell measure is mounted more easily on vise.

Drawer for bushings and shellholders.
