A little messy, but I call it my room.

I've got that same bench too Dave. Harbor Freight special! Mine is used as a regular work bench though and has a real vice and bench grinder mounted on it.

Thats kinda cause I built a workbench out in the garage that has the vise and a belt sander on it. The harbor freight bench was a little nicer looking so the better half lets me keep it in the house.

I have my fingers crossed because I think I have her talked into letting me get a 24' x 30' shop built in the backyard.

A couple of my reloading room / office. Mrs. wanted to move the laundry out of the basement up to the main level. She got what she wanted, and I got the old laundry room. It's almost completed, need to mount a few shelves, finish the painting.... but its actually clean enough to take a picture! Here ya go!









I built the birch cabinets from scratch about 10 years ago. I reclaimed them from the room we did over upstairs. The bear? Took it out of Upstate New York in 1978. The vibrating tumbler is new, replaced the smaller Cabela's one the I had previously. The new one came from Harbor Freight and runs like a tank. Its also quieter than the smaller one.

I have been saving those for years, the wife it talented. He works for a company that makes the ManBench brand, www.man-bench.com so I could get the plaque and the bottle opener for nothing. (stolen) I don't think drinking and reloading is a good idea so I don't...really....

Default My Small Bench

My bench is home built, although I did buy some legs from Amazon. I think I used one sheet of 3/4" plywood and a couple of 2x4 studs.

I only have one press - a Lee Turret Press, and have turret disks for .45, 9mm, .308, and .223.

I measure powder for my pistols with a Lee Auto Pro Disk thing and with a Hornady electronic powder measure for the long guns.

I'm not a real high volume reloader - maybe a few hundred rounds a week, and it works great for me.

I do wish I had more storage space. Next thing I'll probably do is get rid of those ridiculous shelves and build something onto the wall.

Nice work area and I agree that wall shelves would be better. More room on the bench that way.
