ESD, or Electro-Static-Discharge is totally dependent on the difference of potential between two conductive surfaces. The potential is held as a charge of electrons and the conductive surfaces can be a coating of electrons on a non-conductive material, essentially known as a capacitor.
The discharge is measured in Volts (Potential or Pressure), Amps/Current (Strength or Volume) and Resistance (Discharge Time). A normal/general static charge potential is based on many factors including humidity, properties of the static generators, etc. Just moving ones arm inside a shirt to brush ones hair can generate a potential of over 13,000 volts. Scooting across a poly carpet can generate a potential of 300,000 volts! But it is not the Voltage that contains all of the energy of the Static Discharge. It is also a combination of the amount of electrons available and the rate at which they discharge the difference of potential. An example is a lightning bolt. That is just a huge static discharge based on a huge potential of power. Power, or Watts is a mathematical formula of the Voltage times the Current in Amps. In comparison, a static discharge from shuffling across a poly carpet is very small when compared to a lightning bolt. Having a huge voltage without much current is what we experience in our average static shock. The Voltage is not what stops your heart, it's the amount of current. The current in a static shock is very small. Therefore it will generate very little heat (power). Heat would be the primary reason for a static discharge to ignite smokeless powder or a primer. The heat would have to be intense enough and of long enough in duration to cause the powder or primer to ignite. The rate of discharge also plays an important role on its heat potential. A slow steady discharge caused by resistance will not generate the heat that an immediate zero resistance discharge would cause. Is it possible? Could a bolt of lightning ignite gun powder or primers? Yes it could, but the conditions for an everyday type static zap would have to be abnormally large and of specific values for a static shock to ignite gun powder in its solid state. A static shock occurs because of the difference in potential between two objects. If one object has a 100,000 volt potential related to ground and another object has 100,000 volt potential related to ground, Zero volts potential exist between the two objects and no static discharge will occur between the two objects. Grounding objects discharges the static to make the difference of potential between the objects at zero potential. Ground is a common electrical reference but it could be anything that makes the difference of potential between objects zero. So, if you roll around on new carpeting with a chair or shuffle your feet on carpet, etc. it is possible that you could generate enough static potential in the right circumstances to ignite a primer or powder. But it is not something that will happen readily or frequently. It would be considered a rare instance. Possible, but not probable. Remember that smokeless powder will burn, not explode. I personally have grounded my bench and press. I use an alligator clip to clip on my press with a wire to the electrical outlet ground. |

But not in this thread. dryflash3 Just for clarification, the above user was replying to my post about my reloading bench being metal and the chances of static electricity. So I guess I got things off track a little, so my apologies. Why doesn't matter, that post is way off topic in this thread. dryflash3 |

The place where the white pad is used to be where the sink was located. I originally intended to coat the new top with poly, but I had an upcoming match and needed to get some loading done. Shit happens, right? The press is mounted on a double thickness of 3/4" ply and secured to the bench with 3 threaded knobs that screw into T-Nuts under the benchtop. I've got a Dillon SDB that mounts the same way. Not as elegant as the slide outs in some of the earlier posts, but functional. Same basic type setup for the lubersizer. BTW, the c-clamp hanging on the right side of the press is just there to be out of the way, serves no use until I need it I just put up the shelves so my dies would be handier to reach, and clear some space in my metal shelving unit on the opposite wall. I COULD get some space by getting rid of the mini-fridge, but, not gonna happen! This thread kind of kickstarted me to tidy up a little and add the shelves, that's OK, I didn't need that money for anything else Don in Ohio Mini-fridge |

Beautiful bench samurai84. Some constructive criticism, IMHO.
The powder scale: Being that high you might drop some powder when traveling from the dispenser which I assume will be on the table also when you upgrade to a digital scale, it might be too high to place the digital scale there. I'd probably just have an empty slot there. I'd put the powder storage down on the lower shelf and save the upper area for primers. Bullets down below too, wherever you are keeping them. |

What an awesome-looking bench! Very well done. Any problem with the tool inserts trying to walk out on you while you're using the presses? What about some holes drilled through the bench top, on either side of the insert slot, with corresponding holes drilled through the inserts, so that when the insert is in place, you can drop in some pins/dowels to lock the insert in place? The same way you lock in a tool head into a Dillon or RCBS progressive press.

However, after using the presses for a while I find that the do not move at all, this is probably due to the fact that most of the force is exerted vertically and not horizontally. Plus the inserts are cut to a very tight tolerance and you have to pull them totally straight out to remove them. |

Probably a dumb question, but what kind of saw did you use or how did you get the cuts so square in the back corners of the top layer cut outs? Nice job - and I see you do wood working similar to me - no plans, make it up as you go. |

Not to speak for Samurai84, but whenever I do stuff like that, I usually drill holes @ the corners (1" Forstner bit, usually), play connect-the-dots with a circular saw, then square up the corners with a jig saw. |

This. Wayyyyyyyy back in shop class, we were taught to use a drill press to drill a very precisely placed hole at the corners of a square inside cut, which allows for less tension on the waste piece when cutting. Of course back then, our teacher was really particular about who used the table saw, but a band saw makes this sort of cut pretty easy. That doesn't mean you don't drill those holes first, but they can be a lot smaller, leaving a lot less to clean up. Oh, and having a decent fence to guide the work is pretty mandatory, at least for me. Freehand cuts tend to be...irregular, to say the least. |

The bench surface is pretty decent and reasonably thick, but why beat it up with the kinetic puller/hammer? That same pseudo-header/sandwich was actually used to bolt the press to on a really crappy (flexible) bench I had previously. ;) |

Took a few pics of my setup today. A little different than most I've seen here. Obviously it doubles as my gun cleaning and building/repair area. Lucky enough to have a office room in our house that we weren't using for anything important. Used office desk$80. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/M4-AR/BE109C28-9D77-4F69-8867-55554857C87E-2829-000001F606F269BB.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/M4-AR/C0EEDAB0-8100-4F28-8532-39FA8BBC035A-2829-000001F60FF57062.jpg Built peg board into the back. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/M4-AR/0D3D3E88-EFFA-459C-A698-19731E5555DD-2829-000001F61B56F0B0.jpg My spent primer setup. Bike waterbottle cage. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/M4-AR/61129873-EB86-4307-A361-7F7F8F3AB122-2829-000001FB27A76E7E.jpg I love your setup....I've been scouring craigslist trying to find a similar desk. |

The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

Thanks. My original plan was a work bench in the garage. But I came across this and figured it was worth a shot. Bonus is that I can stay comfortable in the summer or winter.(central air) and can keep humidity better under control. |

Mine is just leaned up on the leg supports. Going to add that to mine. |

I have that same Sams bench and a similar tool chest under the left side.
Mine isn't quite dedicated as its a reloading, cleaning, maintenance and sometimes computer work area. |
