Lol, the bench right now is a bit "Spartan" I agree. Add ons will come with time. The room I am using used to be a kitchen, lots of drawers and cupboards for storage, countertop for brass prep, and gun cleaning and a spot for my Wicked Edge sharpener. Not the most fancy, but it's mine! |

You just need them where your standing. That's my suggestion too. I have hardwood flooring in my loading room, and the cushioned mats help with a lot of things. I am using the interlocking floor mats from Harbor Freight. |

Have used the red and blue bins for years many sizes, got some at Northern Tool. They also have a mounting bracket for hanging them on a wall, very handy.

View Quote Thanks… The puck lights are somewhat hardwired...the set comes with a dimmer, nice little circular brackets for mounting and the pucks, themselves, are composed of metal. The dimmer plugs into a standard wall socket. We have it plugged into a surge protector/power strip mounted behind the forward leg nearest the safe. We had to mount the dimmer on the backside of the table to give us enough slack to be able to mount the pucks where we wanted them. The splitter is actually behind the peg wall…so we have puck lights plugged into the splitter, splitter to the dimmer, and dimmer to the power strip. So the dimmer is worthless, as we use the power strip for power on/off. The lights are LED, pretty bright and serve the purpose…but if I had to do it again, I would shop around a little longer. But for the money, they are good. FYI…do not splice the wire between the puck and the splitter as the lights will not work. I tried this first, in order to lengthen our mounting options, to no avail. Here is the link you seek: CE LED Light Set |

Thanks… That is one awesome bench. But isn't placing the press mount all the way to the left against the wall sort of crowding you? Thank you… It's really not too bad. We typically do everything in stages…so we won't have everything out at one given time. We'll de-prime & resize whatever brass we are looking to load. That brass may sit a few days before prepping it for loads. At the moment, our prepping is done in the shop while we put together a brass prep station…which will be on the wall across from the bench. It's a full wall with nothing but another safe, so no telling what my father-in-law with come up with. He still has some of this cypress left, so we may end up with a dual reloading station and work it as an assembly line. He won't load without me, so its always both of us in there. We're still working out the bugs…so any suggestions would be appreciated. |

View Quote After looking at the photo again I see that a reloading block will fit just to the left of the press mount (I'm assuming one is right-handed). The only thing about mounting the press that low compared to the rest of the bench would be the possibility of arm strain/fatigue from having the reloading block above the level of the shell holder when it's in the down position. Most single stage reloaders find it desirable to place the reloading block(s) as close to and on the same level as the shell holder. But damn, that's some beautiful bench. Someone's got some mad carpentry skills and cypress will last FOREVER. |
