Yes I am. There's an in-line (6") high velocity exhaust fan/system that ducts the air directly outside above the lead pots.
FWIW - I have been casting my own bullets in similar spaces to supply my competitive BP shooting without an exhaust system for the last 35 years. Since 2005 I have had a lead test as part of my yearly blood work. Nada YMMV |

I have that Lowes bench, it pretty nice. I put an rcbs base plate on left end and a vise on right end and use it for single stage press and trimmer. Gunvise on bench top and smithing tools on the peg board. I added a hasp and pad lock to the top for primer storage.
Biggest thing is the bench top. Its shitty particle board that flexes with a little torque from resizing cases. I fixed it with to 2x12" boards held together with 2x4s underneath. Trim the corners to fit and g2g. Get some white wall panel board for a white workspace top so you can see what you're doing. The built in light and power strip are very nice. Oh and put some rubber drawer liner in the drawers so your stuff doesn't slide everywhere. |

I think I can do it all with the size of about a foot print of 2 ft square X 31 high or there about's. I don't use plans, I just dream as I go along. I mean all of it including storage but in small amounts. I started it but as I'm on six days a week it'll be slow going.

That bench is a beauty. Even finished the inside that won't be seen. You didn't mention what you are going to go with for a top. Some sort of beautiful wood? Hi Dryflash, I always finish the insides, its in the details and all that. I haven't decided on the top yet (or a new Si vis expression I always raise letter on my stuff). That will be the last part of it as I need it open for now to work on the interior. If you look close at the uprights, you'll see they have been dadoed. That will be for the sides back walls which I also intend to build doors for and shelving. The picture is the minis, or super minis front. The top section, forward part, I want to build a spillway for dry tumbling media and also a spent primer drop tube. Thats where a removable press will sit. I'm sure I can also use the cavity for other mounts say for knife sharping and so on. The rest of the top section will be more storage and I'll hinge the top for access. What remains of the interior between the uprights will be for a nano tumbler and the media, accessible from the back. I'll also build a removable extension as in my main desk, that will sit at a comfortable angle (between 45 and 22 degrees, need to wait to decide) for more space if needed. I still need to finish the frames bottom outriggers. The outriggers will be 2X6's under the frame perpendicular to the front. They will keep it from tipping and give me a place for the castors and a drop down shelf for a catch bucket from the spill way. That's what I have floating around my head for now. I'm never quite sure as I don't write it down or use plans. I have been snapping images this time as I go along. I'm trying to use the most simplest of tools and or supply an alternative way to do things as in the dado so that those interested can build it or something similar at a friends house if necessary. The power tools can be just a drill, circular saw, maybe a saber saw. Anyway, thats what I got. As I said, my time is very limited now so I hope no one is holding their breath waiting for the final. Hopefully in a few months. Peace. T. |

Just finished my bench, well almost finished. I still need to attach the peg board, some plywood on the lower shelf and lag bolts (3.5" deck screws for now). Dimensions are 7'Lx36"Dx44"H, I am 6'8" so it is built to my specs...lol. I'm debating on some type of top for ease of cleanup, the 2x6's will get pretty dirty if left alone. I noticed some 3/16" hardboard at Home Depot, may just buy a sheet of that. Hardboard |

Thanks! I think my favorite feature is the T track, what a fantastic idea whoever the first to think of it was. I had my concerns about rigidity before i installed it but that stuff is solid. I also stood on the bench while I was installing the top shelves. No give or flex whatsoever. Didn't even creak. Quite pleased with it.
