Let's see them loading benches

[MarkTheNewf]

I moved into a new house a couple of years ago with a large detached garage.  Lots of room for the truck, lawn mower, and a 12x14 ft workshop.  The wife can have the rest of the house. Giggity.

Nice layout brother.

 I like your Bullet Casting area , good idea for the Range hood . I still do mine on the Back Screened in Porch . You don't have enough Reloading Presses for all that room .

The casting area works well.  I crack the window and I get a cross-breeze sucking the heat out as well as the smoke when I flux.  .  It's also kinda nice when you're doing stuff with some smelly chemicals.  The only time I do anything outside is when I'm smelting down bulk lead from scraps.

Yeah, I have just the single stage for for a few years for working up loads and for rounds like 45/70.  I only got the Dillon perhaps a year or two ago.  You can pump out heaps of ammo with that thing and it's decent.

The computer is also great as I have spreadsheets for tracking stuff.  It's also set up with media center, so I can have TV or music running in the background whilst fiddling with boolits and stuff.

At the end of the day, you never have too much bench!

  I have three stations , plus the Porch , one for Firearm Cleaning & Maintenance /repair/ building , one for Case prep ( I Anneal on the porch also ) & a reloading Bench with four Presses , including a Dillon 550B , Lee 1000( over 25 years old ) an old Pacific 007 single stage Press ( 40 + yr. )& my new MEC Marksmen single stage press  & I have a RCBS Green Machine Progressive in 44 cal. (Packed away because of no room for it ). I have to get a new photo of my Repair /cleaning bench , I just changed it .

  I used to use wax for Fluxing & now use the Flux powder & the smoke is minimal now .

I opened this thread with the intention of showing off my bench but after seeing those setups, think I'll just sit this one out. 

Awesome "benches" fellas!

Survivalshop, tell us about the cordless drill set up.  The hose clamp/speed control looks like a particularly good idea.

 Home made Annealing set up , I was using the Torch for something else when the photo was taken . The Tie Wraps hold the Torch .
