First session on my first rig!

[lowendgenerator]

The wife let me build a bench in the corner of the kitchen after I threatened to bolt my press to the dining room table. I present to you...

MINI BENCH OF TURQUOISE DOOM!

11x16, supported by 4x4 fence posts. Fixed to the wall with 5" long, 3/4" lag bolts. Grand total, $35 in lumber.

Just de-primed, sized and sorted 500 pieces on it. I'm gonna fab a longer arm with a nicer grip on it for sizing. No leverage with this tiny rod!

Now, to order components and a tumbler!

You'll quickly find out that the dinner table is still going to be your reloading platform. You will need about 4x's the space you have now. I'm pretty cramped and I have half my work bench dedicated to reloading.

Oh sure, most of the magic is still gonna happen at the kitchen table. This is just where I mounted my press.

congrats on the space. Im running a 7 ft bench and it still never seems like enough room. LOL

Hehe....i had to laugh at the comment about tellin your wife you were going to bolt it to the table, i have a similar situation with my wife.

There is always i little space somewhere for man things

I agree. You'll end up on the kitchen table. Until we move, my reloading set up is a 2'x4'x 3/4" piece of plywood with my press mounted on it that gets c-clamped to the kitchen table. It has become an almost permanent fixture in the dining room which makes my wife ecstatic. haha

I have a 7 foot bench and a 4 foot bench. Do I have too much stuff?

Naaa too much is just about right!!!

 

[lowendgenerator]

LOL Never enough toys! If I could, I'd replace the countertops with workbench tops! Damn this apartment life!

I have a 14x14 room with benches on 3 walls and still don't have enough room. Although started on an old nightstand not much bigger than the bench you have there. Slowly I claimed more space.

My dad has an old RCBS A2 on a metal movable stand..........by the kitchen table

I've already talked the wife into letting me add a rolling toolbox next to the bench. She quickly saw how much room my tools took up. The only stuff on the bench is what's being run through the press at the moment.
