Previously my setup has been a black and decker job mate with my press bolted to a piece of 2x4 that has been cranked down into the job mate. I sit on the coach and watch TV while loading. But today i have started the process of downsizing my ham radio bench to make it mostly a reloading bench. The radio hobby is in its final throws of death around here. Last few years i have only listened to nets and shortwave broadcasts. I will be keeping whats left of my gear for the most part wrapped and stored, with just a receiver and scanner on the now "Loading bench" I will take some pictures later. In the meantime who wants to share pics of their setup?

my setup currently looks like a shit sandwich. so much brass, bullets and other things strewn about in one room.

O.S.O.K.

Mine too. I did manage to get it all cleaned up a couple of months ago but the stuff accumulated again... but here it is:

Those Craftsman cabinets and bench were my Christmas present from my wife and kids several years back. Took quite the effort to assemble them - they all came in flat packs and had a jillion nuts and bolts. But the end result is a lifetime setup.

I really like to see the benches that guys have crafted themselves. Especially the ones who are good at wood working - with pigeon holes for parts and stuff.

Mine is an old sideboard that is bolted to the cinder wall. Solid and doesn't move.

Here is a pic of my finished bench. Just finished this afternoon. I reinforced underneath with a 2x4 and some aggressive thread screws. You could park a truck on it and that press isn't going to move.

Looks nice. My setup keeps the powder hidden from sight. It is less scary to non gun people that way.
