I needed  a new bench for my reloading gear because the old desk I was using was an unstable POS.  My brother picked up a butcher block workbench from Sears for his reloading bench, but it was way too high (needs a bar stool height chair for sitting), and it was freaking expensive. 

Whilst looking around, I found this workbench at Costco for about $250.  It is supposed to have high casters on the bottom, but I left them off, and it is the perfect height for sitting in my office chair while reloading.


This work bench is Heavy! If I could bolt it to the floor it would be even better, but the wife said 'NO WAY!' , arg.





Pretty good amount of lockable storage.



Came up with a quick change system for my single stage, turret, and bullet seater presses.


What kinds of benches do you folks use?

Very nice setup. I saw that exact same bench one day at Costco. Thought about buying it and went back to get it and it was gone

So thats where all the varget went.....   

I'll play too.....

Here is my homemade bench/cabinet.  Nothing fancy, just functional.



To the right of my bench I have my sorted brass and equipment


I got one of those stack on cabinets from Sports Authority when they were on sale and mounted shelves in it.

Very nice!  I like the stackon with the shelves. Lots of lockable storage. 

My bench is some piece of crap computer table that i found laying outside on the street.  I'd take a picture but it's over at voodoo's house setup to trim .223 brass.  Few thousand of those to go through lol.

1k first time 5.56 reloads that shoot like a factory? seems okay to me!

Here is mine. Just finished setting it up a couple of weeks ago.

So how hard is it to do reloads?

Nice bench, onfloat. It looks very organized.

Not hard. I just started. I went slow got a few books, watched a bunch of videos on YouTube. It was fairly easy after watching a bunch of different videos to figure out who knew what they were doing and who was careless. I also talked to a couple of different folks about how they are doing it and thoughts.

Thanks, it's all about the camera angle.

when work is slow... @ work...job to be named anonymous...

Nice benches guys! I'll take a pic of mine one of these days.

Hey OnFloat where did you get the yellow bins that you have? I am looking for those and I found them for $5 each and was hoping I could find them cheaper somewhere.

I got them at Lowes in Waikele. I forgot what I paid for them but it seems like they were $6 or $7 for a set of four.

Thanks! That is the right price for those!!!

Nice lookin' setups, gents!!

I use an old computer desk for my bench. In fact, its still my computer desk.  I invade the communal work space at the back of the garage from time to time but don't leave anything out more than a day or 2.

At some point I may set up a dedicated workspace but using the lee hand press doesn't require a dedicated space so I haven't prioritized that, yet. I did rig a table mount for it to free up one hand and load faster but I just clamp it to the edge of my desk. Worked well for a while but the force required eventually split the wood. Gotta make a new one - across the grain.

The supplies I do have neatly organized but its nothing picture worthy. Its guerrilla reloading over here. But I can crank it out at a decent pace while watching netflix or hulu.

Here is mine. Just finished setting it up a couple of weeks ago.

The first things I noticed was the GySgt Chevrons & DI Pictures.  Don't ask me why it's the first things I honed in on.


Semper Fi Marine!

I made this with plans from the National Reloading Manufacturers Association.  Made some minor changes.  It is solid.
