View Quote Thanks for the compliments and the tip. I plan to build some cabinet doors for some of the shelves and will plan to segregate the primers/powder. I know my bench looks bare and I'm missing a lot of reloading tools but I share equipment with my father-in-law (who lives across the pasture). My setup doesn't even hold a candle to his reloading room and range. I'll have to ask him if I can snap some pics of it and share them, you guys would love it. |

View Quote By all means! COPY! I had actually bought one of the single storage racks, and the rack it's self is more then strong enough to bear the weight. Where you can run into problems though is the backing! IT NEEDS TO BE STOUT!!!! |

I was born and raised in WA state running dogs for Chuckar and Pheasant but, here in Central MO, bird hunting is pretty scarce. They do hunt down moles, groundhogs, and crows themselves pretty good though. |

Placing the scale at eye level was a huge improvement. I also added a LED light above the scale for maximum clarity.
Thanks for the kind words on the finish - all it took was a little (OK, maybe a lot) of time with 220 grit sandpaper, a $50 sheet of good plywood, and poly. |
