The mother of all reloading benches is complete (and it owned me already)

[IchWarriorMkII]

Well, Im posting this topic, as to reloading, because I don't have the bolts to mount my presses on my new bench. Beings its a 3 day weekend... it could be awhile till I can reload. Ich is a sad little boy:(

So anyways, I introduce you to the mother of all reloading benches. Having no real idea of what I wanted, I went out and built a big bastard and Im hoping it works... I needed room for my two presses and for general gun cleanage/tum foolery.

Here is the basic plans I drew up and gave to Paps to look at. He thought it was ok, so I wasn't off to make a total ass of myself. Home Depot raped me for about 100 bucks to get all the cheap pine wood I needed. Not too bad for a piece of furniture. In fact, its probably the cheapest, and best made, and largest piece I have... I used those deck screws with the #2 square head and phillips combo, hard core sunsabitches right there.

I went ahead and waterproofed the wood, I don't know if it could actually absorb enough water from the atmosphere to warp over time, but hopefully it will be protected from that, and other stains as well.

It went up easy enough... and was pretty stable with just the legs and braces. I ran the 2x6 across to bolt my presses to, which would give me total, uber support from flexing. It also makes for massive bolts... which I have none of. Nice one, fuckstick. God damn I hate myself. Anyways, I have a plan to theif some and be reloading by the night...

And there it is, completed somewhat. I still want to add a bottom shelf for my shit, and I will trim up that gap you see at the end of the bench. It still has a ways to go... but its a damn good start.

Now, anyone else with reloading benches. Post. Now.

Uh...that's you?

That's a pretty sweet reloading bench if you ask me. I see your measurement for height was about 3', how much with the top? The picture makes it look a tad bit high...

Anyway, I wish I still had pictures, but I used to use a Stanley Vidmar workbench that I uh ... found in a dumpster ... at work, and it was great, and multi-purpose too, as the table was big enough that nothing was really in the way.

Sadly, it had to stay in Alaska when I left, as I had no way of carting it back down here.

Uh...that's you?


lmfao.

No, I was taking the pictures.


Its around 40" at the top of the bench... its a stand up bench... which is what I did a lot before, because at 36" its a bitch to sit and too low to stand at. Now I can drag up a bar stool and it will work either way.

So who's the hotty?

You can't even see her face. Swat will hit anything that has a hole.

I'll never understand why he limits himself like that. Sooooo picky.

Bench looks like it's coming along nicely, Ich.

[Mystrick]

You can see her thong/panty underwear and she's working on the bench. Way to hit the jackpot Ich. ;)

Nice though.

[BattleWhack]

Yah, I agree with Swat, who's the hottie?

[[Political] Slayer]

is that the girl who almost broke your cock?

[Towelie]

No, I think it's that girl's younger sister :X

[IchWarriorMkII]

Yes, thats the woman creature/sex slave.
