I store the primers, powder and bullets off the bench that way it forces me to have only one of each out at a time. I only have two types of powder now, but figure it is best to start the process now. Mostly a big, empty space with empty bins, but based on what I am seeing from everyone else's it is just a matter of time. http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af80/landshark9025/ReloadingRoom11_zpsfd5caf33.jpg http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af80/landshark9025/ReloadingRoom21_zps9f8a2343.jpg http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af80/landshark9025/ReloadingRoom31_zps8f7b2729.jpg Here is a better image of the bench from the manufacturer's website: http://www.baysidefurnishings.com/cms_uploads/product_photos/onintable2.jpg View Quote That's the costco one isn't it?

It came with the bench. It's only available inside Costco, they don't have it online. It's made by Whalen.

Has anyone used the 3/4 inch laminated "hobby board" from Lowes as a bench top? 96x20 piece of it is $36
I might double it with plywood underneath. |

I sure love to look at all the great benches and rooms on this site. I have "borrowed" many ideas from you folks, and it motivated me to try my hand at a dedicated bench and small area for reloading.

Given my own personal bench habits, it would definitely be too pretty for me to work on! I've worked with Plexiglas in the past, and it is indeed a real pain to work with. My only current Plexiglas project (still on hold) is an enclosure for my powder scales to keep my ceiling fan from messing with my measurements; that's a lot smaller and more manageable a job than covering a whole, large loading bench. It looks like you thought hard about the leverage and angles involved in mounting your press. Any reason you didn't extend the aluminum plate all the way to the front edge of the bench? |

I wanted to do that, but the Hornady press sticks out quite far. There is a small lip on the base of the press that butts up against the edge of the bench, or in my case, against the face of the aluminum plate. I probably would have cut a small recess for the press if I did it over again. |

BTTT I'll have to tidy up my bench and submit a picture someday. Shouldn't this be a sticky?

I use the plastic Folger's cans to organize my brass too. They work awesome!! I made a rotary tumbler that I can lay them on as well to tumble the brass.

It was a bit much, so I swapped it with the Rubbermaid cart I was using in my garage. The steel-framed bench is from my dad's shop. He used it to work on restaurant equipment, so it is very sturdy and roomy. I had my eye on it and he knew I wanted it, so when I told him I was overhauling my reloading room he offered it to me. It's 6' wide, 3' deep, and 33" tall (after I cut the legs down). The top is made from two 1/2" sheets of plywood with something hard in the middle. I'm not sure what he used for the top surface, but it seems tougher than the masonite I have on my garage bench. The edge is capped with a plastic trim. |

Looking good.
I must have a tidy up so I can put up some pics of my reloading area. I use the Dillon Primer filler and it is great. After spending years doing it the old way I wouldn't go back. |

I haven't used the RF-100 personally but the LGS I go to all of the time has one they use all of the time. They guys there load a ton of ammo all of the time on their 1050, 650, and SDB presses. They love the thing as it takes almost no time to fill up the pick up tubes. |
