Reloading Bench Help - Need Tools

[bsdubois00]

Anyone here want to volunteer their time and tools to help me build a reloading workbench - You provide the tools...I provide the Keystone Light....

 

[Wall]

I'd be glad to help.
I've got tools, Do you have a plan?

 

[bsdubois00]

Even better - I plan on using these to really make life simple.

 

[Wall]

when?

 

[bsdubois00]

Whenever - I'm very UNHANDY with tools - so honestly wouldn't even know where to begin on buying the wood.

If you think that one would be pretty easy to do - it would save me the cost of those legs....

 

[Wall]

It's pretty easy stuff.
You just need to figure out what size bench you need, (H?W?D?)
It'd be easier to build in my garage where I have all the tools, than trying to load up a bunch of saws & stuff.
There's a Home Depot right around the corner from me, maybe a mile away.
Makes it convenient when you forget something.
After you figure out what size bench you need, we can get together on when.
Could possibly work on it this weekend.

I'm free this weekend - lets work on it - I'll get the keystone on ice - I'll do the measurements - I was thinking also of using bolts instead of wood screws for the legs - that way its easily to take apart - also want to be able to make a little shelf on it also like this one.

Think this should be pretty easy?

Using the homemade plans I posted and just adding a shelf like below?

Dont forget to make it pretty... http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68147

Yea - that is super "pretty"

I'll see what Wall has going this weekend, but I think we can get it done pretty quickly. You get the junk together.
As my kid would say, "Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools."

those supports dont look particularly sturdy.

Check out these plans; by bench is based on the bottom part of these plans.

Thanks Mike - I actually have that one downloaded and we are going to base the build off of that one....just not with that cabinet thing in the back...

I went super-cheap and bought a $25 metal office desk off of craigslist. It weighs a ton and works perfectly. It's not pretty, but it has all the drawers and stuff built in.

 

[Scott Hearn]

I was gonna get this for my office since it has alot of wood in it already:

But then I wussed out and bought this:

A new Dillon 650 is forthcoming! ???

Sam's club sells a knockoff of the Gladiator table for about $200. I have two of them anchored to the wall and together. They worek great and look good too. Then I have some gladiator gear cabinets up above and a few of the rolling Sam's club knock offs below. Good stuff and you can buy it piece by piece when you can afford it.

If you want to bring your littel bench over to my garage Sunday we can watch football, build your bench, reload some ammo, and drink something cold.
