I wanted to ask if you guys could post a photo of your reloading bench. I'm in the middle of building a new bench and thought it would be great to see what you guys are using. Maybe you could share some good ideas that are working good for your bench.
Thanks,
Don

Thanks for the great photos! I started on my bench Saturday afternoon. Spent all day Sunday, all day Monday, four hours Tuesday and four more on Wednesday. I have a large, 12' X 32' shed that I'm using for reloading and a good portion of my time was spent just trying to clean that up and tear down my old bench. Well the new bench is finally done, I hung some old steel wall cabinets with a fresh coat of paint, the lighting is set up and my one and only 30 year old RCBS Rockchucker is mounted. I still have a few things on order from Midway USA and I should be finished. I mounted the press on a 1/4" steel plate bolted through the bench with bolts going through a 1/2"x2"x36" steel bar on the underside of the bench. I think that should hold that press down! LOL I'll be sure to post a photo once I have it all together. One thing I still want to buy is a good bench mounted priming tool. I know RCBS makes a nice one, but they were out of stock at Midway USA when I placed my last order.

Well here it is. The area on the right is for case prep, in the middle for loading and on the left is my gun cleaning area.

i don't have any pics either but my loading surface was a piece of 2" thick plywood counter top that was here when i moved in.. lft over after remodeling the kitchen i guess.. it's about 40" by 26" and mounted to the wall with some heavy shelfing brackets i found.... makes a great loading surface!

I CONVERTED A SMALL ROOM IN THE BASEMENT INTO MY RELOADING SANCTUARY. tHE RELOADING BENCH IS MADE UP OF 2X4S AND A GLUE JOINTED PANEL FROM HOME DEPOT.
CABINETS THE LENGTH OF THE WALL HOLD ALL OF MY SUPPLIES AND AMMO
OPPOSITE WALL HOLDS MY FLY TYING BENCH AND EQUIPMENT, BENCH MADE OF SAME MATERIALS AS THE RELOADING BENCH
BACK WALL, MY FISHING ROD RACK
