Need Any Helpful Hints/Tips For Reloading Bench

Dad's work is never done! LOL


I'm going to be building a new reloading bench for
one of my sons (probably only supervising a lot!) and
I was wondering if anyone had any pointers that they
have discovered/found helpful when they built theirs.
I built mine about twenty five years ago but don't use
it any longer - it's become a great gear shelf for other
ongoing projects that never seem to get completely
done.

The compartmentalized shelving behind the bench I saw
on a thread on the Reloading Forum looked like a winner.
I just have one shelf and that was always overflowing with
manuals and junk.

Any helpful tips/hints/photos would be appreciated.

It seems that everyone is posting on the General side so I'll be different and post here. These are pictures from others that I've known and found online. Do a search online for "pictures of reloading rooms" and you'll find a thread that has something like 18 pages of pictures and comments on another forum.

All of those benches are making my mouth water! They are nice.

I uses a kennedy reloading bench with the butcher block top. I have the presses permentally mounted to the bench. I mounted my powder measures, case trimmer, and scale to pieces of 1/2 inch wood that I can C clamp to the edge of the bench to save space. Anything with lots and lots of storage and drawers and shelves are always a great idea. Maybe integrate a small hazmat steel cabinet to store your powder in?

The Load Room

I'll be needing the same thing zipper so I'm subscribing to this topic. I've moved around alot in the last five years and had a variety of work areas so been taking notes the last year or so to narrow down efficiency/convenience to construct what I hope to be the last one. Also if you discover a great alternative outside the forum here could you e-mail me about the details?
