jungle_re Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Anyone have any links for designs suitable for both? There is a NRA design in reloading digest (i think) but it doesn't really meet both uses. Or even photos of your own reloading bench? I have some nice 3" thick timber acclimatising in the conservatory whilst i'm away ready to be chucked through the planner/thinckness once I get home but need some inspiration for design Cheers Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsgobang88 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi Will, Just make it solid and big enough to fit the space available. A well braced bench with a 3" thick top should be ideal. For me a top which is 35-36" from floor level is just perfect. Give some thought to the positioning of legs and braces so they do not interfere with fixing bolts for presses, vices, etc. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jungle_re Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Jesus Pork Chop thats awesome home made range table, nice one. Good point Alan and thanks for the height dimensions. It will be a bit more or a traditional table style I don't have the skill to do something like Pork chops but I might make an extension piece that replicates the cut out though Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 This is the bench in my reloading room. We moved house recently, and my only stipulation was a ground floor armoury and reloading room. Its not finished yet, but i,m getting there....

oaken Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I find that old kitchen units are a good height and the kitchen worktops are plenty sturdy enough to mount a press. I got myself a long shed and put an insulated compartment in the end. Its good being outside the house as no distractions. Rup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I bit the bullet and bought one of these from Sealey it has uprights for parts bins and two shelves. Now I need another for loading shotgun cartridges, arrow making and I'm not going to start fly tying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jungle_re Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 i'm looking forward to seeing most of the pictures once i get out of Africa and back to bandwidth. That whalen is nice but there is no way the bread knife would have it in the house and i can't reload in the workshop as it looks like one of them health and safety pictures where you have to circle the issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
