Reloading bench build...

[TerryH]

Well done! Really well done! You need to add a lot more boxes of dies and bullets and such to give it that "lived in" look. That'll come in time. Get that fire extinguisher out of the corner and hang it by the door and please tell me where you bought that cool overhead light on the bench. LED? Nice shooting, by the way!

Thanks Josh! At this point I'm only loading for the F-T/R .308. I do plan to add 6.5 and .223 before long so more boxes will eventually show up. I do need to get the extinguisher mounted...

The drafting light is led. Super handy and very bright. $65 from Amazon.

Nice bench, i hang benches from e2re2e49i wall studs. Less material and unobstructec access below. Bench depth 20".

Thanks! I'm more of a furniture builder so my mind thinks in individual free standing pieces.

I dont think there is ever a stopping point on a reloading room.
There is always a bird bell or whistle to add, whether ya need
it or not. LDS

That seems to be the way with everything I do. I built my home shop 24 years ago and been working on it and changing thins around ever since. I'm sure this room won't ever really be "done."

This is purely a selfish post so hopefully you guys will bear with me. As the unplanned flag theme grew in the gun room, I knew that there was one flag that I've owned for a long time that had to be in there. The display case came in today for the flag the we took off my Dad's casket in 1975. I've had this flag tucked away for a long time. I'm very proud to have a nice spot for it to be displayed along with his dog tags.

Nice touch! You should be proud to hang that flag in the room where you exercise the rights for which your father fought. I'm sure he's proud of you.

Thank you Josh.

Very nice Terry, I also have my fathers flag that I have yet to display. Living on a boat there is limited space, but as we approach retirement and plan our life on the land, I plan to find a display case to properly display his flag with the appropriate honor it deserves. I like having it in the room as Josh stated, it is an appropriate setting.

My Dad's flag has been tucked away in a closet for much too long. I kept thinking that I would build a flag case but obviously never did. I saw these cases on Amazon and loved that they had the branch of service medallion on them so I ordered on up. Very nice case. Glad I finally did it. $67.00.

I hear you. My dads is also tucked away. After seeing your case, I searched the internet and came across the same seller. I thought the medallion was a great feature and will be getting one with the Air Force medallion on it.

Just wanted to update and show where all this has led. Cheryl being the perfect wife that she is, decided to let me move her elliptical out and thus gained full control of the gun room. I bought HF bench #2 to be dedicated to case prep. The Giraud annealer and Frankford Arsenal tumbler, drier etc... live there permanently now. Updated video of the room....
