Reloading bench redux

[The boogalorian]

Here is another reloading bench remake. Bought a Husky tool box with credit card points, had to change the wheels out for leveling casters on Amazon. Purchased a 25”x96”x1-1/2” butcher block top and miscellaneous lumber and hardware from the local big box store. My brother in law helped me with the build and especially with the electrical installation of the lights, switch and outlets. T track is inlaid to the butcher block so vises and presses can be moved as needed. Bench is bolted to the tool box to prevent any uplift. There is plenty of room for the amp/ampmate setup on the left. Cleaning supplies on the wall and additional storage over head. The led lights are adjustable and thankfully so. They are turned down to the lowest setting. At higher settings it is way too bright. Two coats of polyurethane on the bench and splash wall. Compressed air is under the bench. The press mounted with 2 clamps is super sturdy. It can take my full weight pulling on it, zero flex. Very happy with how it came out.





Still not completely done. Working on 3d printing tool holders to mount stuff to the wall. Wall mounted bins are ordered and on the way.

I gotta start paring down. I have 3 2'X8' benches and one 2'X5' with wheels and they are all very busy.

Nice, I really like these threads. I will be reorganizing my loading and cleaning areas and always look for new ideas.
One question, do you clean on the same bench? I just am not organized enough but I would have an even bigger mess if I tried to do both.

Please post a pice in six months how it looks with out cleaning up the area. I see these pictures and think to myself they can not stay that way because mine sure doesn’t.

I have a separate bench for cleaning brass and storage of brass and bullets.

I have a bit of autism when it comes to my work spaces. I can’t operate in a cluttered space. My brain starts to lock up. I can’t stand not knowing where things are. I am well known at work as the super who has the the most organized conexes in the company.
