  • This will be a short series to help guide new handloaders in ideas for building a bench, arranging presses and storage for tools and items. A work bench of any kind is very personal and must be tailored to its user. I'd like to share what has worked for me so that you can decide for yourself what suits your needs best.

    Thanks, I inherited my father in law’s reloading stuff, he was old school, (Lee spoons only), I’ve already bought scales, powder measure, so your videos are such a help for me, as I try to remember how we reloaded bullets, God bless and keep up the sharing of your faith, Tony

      Thank you, Sir. I made a lot of mistakes in my first bench. Glad I was able to share what I learned. Lord be with you my friend

    Clutter? No, that's "good stuff we must keep just in case!" LOL

    Your clean reloading table and room were the first things I noticed in your videos.
    Well thought out room, table, and video.
    You might want to move the primers/powder away from the window, and maybe even put them in ammo cans.

      Thank you Jim. I was able to remodel the room recently due to water damage. That gave me an opportunity to blueprint the room as best as I was able.

    Sections of used bowling lanes are available in today's market. Bowling centers are closing down and 2" thick maple lanes are available.

    Thank you for the "no nonsense" informative series. I really like the emphasis on working comfortably. Reloading is dangerous and it is important that your repetition be solid. The easiest way to make mistakes is when you are not comfortable! Not many folks think about that. And we don't want any mistakes. I also liked and noticed that you said you have a bullet casting designated area. That must be performed in an area where there is ample air flow and ventilation. My dad was a survivor of lead poisoning and it almost killed him. The toxicity of lead is pretty nasty. Anyway thanks for the great video!

      Thanks Jeff. I really appreciate the feedback. I'm sorry to hear about what your dad went through. That must have been tough. Yes, its important to be "comfortable" while doing work. Accidents happen when things are cumbersome. Thanks for coming by. Hope to see you more often.

    i am building a 24ft x 24 ft 2 door air conditioned garage, its going to be my gun workshop, i also have a 250 yard range on my land. The reloading bench will be about 23 feet long. Dream come true. I started in a little closet 15 years ago in my apartment.

    Dam brother my setup is extremely similar down to some of the equipment. And I have to say I love being in my room
