My reloading bench project
Re: My reloading bench project
Have tool boxes that I believe will provide me with enough drawers so I will skip that. Also decided to mount shelves on the wall instead of mounting on the bench.
This old bench talks to me. The boards to mount the drawers are so hard they ring when struck. They and the hardware will be saved for later use. The top has stories to tell if you take the time to study it. It certainly has served well and I am going to continue the tale.

You will appreciate your shelves being mounted on the wall instead of on the bench. When you are torquing some rifle cases the stuff on your shelves won’t jump around. Like yours, mine are mounted to the wall and it works great.

I haven't had that problem as of yet with my new bench, but my bench top weights around 500lbs. With the bullets, brass and powders on the lower shelf it seems to be pretty stable.

Thanks for the input. Worked too hard to drag myself out to the shop today. Need to let the job go so I have more energy and time to spend on MY projects.

Re: My reloading bench project
Nice looking bench, Ernie. Can't wait to see final look.
Hatchdog, I see that I'm not the only one that uses their Folgers Black Silk 2+lb cans to store their brass. As I deprime and clean my brass, I put my clean brass in the same size Coffee Mate can. Keeps me organized?

Yep, they work perfectly and the price is right. I have two per caliber, dirty brass and cleaned.MuddyWaters62 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 5:19 pmNice looking bench, Ernie. Can't wait to see final look.

Waiting for some warmer weather to paint the steel. Going to plane all the shelf boards but I am done for the day. Time to make supper.

Re: My reloading bench project
Haven't been on much at all since December, but I'm catching up and find this great bench project underway.
I loaded (first time since December) 50 rounds of 7mm-08 Rem, using 45.0 gns of IMR4350 and 120 gr Nosler BTs.
Hope to see this bench project when it's completed. Should be a beauty. I love to watch other people work!
