New reloading room continued
Posted: 27 Oct 2019 13:26
Well the loading bench is 2 - 3.5" x 12" x 96" glue lam beams bolted edge to edge to make a 24" deep by 8 foot long bench top. As a base, I bought from Home Depot, 2 tool boxes placed end for end for the base. The top is screwed to the boxes and to the wall. It does not move. The drawers of the boxes pull out all the way which is great compared to the old boxes I used to have that only came out 2/3's of the way. Big improvement. The boxes cost about $240 each on sale.
Next my casting bench is made out of 1 1/8 underlayment plywood, top 72" long by 20" deep. 12" deep shelving above bench, note the range hood is trapped by 12" shelf upright and the wall to help channel casting pot vapors to the range hood. The hood with the fan on high even sucks out all smoke during fluxing. There is a 42" long Craftsmen mid box used as a drawer under the bench for sizing dies, micrometers, hardness testers and other miscellaneous stuff used in my casting world. To the right side is a stack of three Craftsmen mid boxes used for molds. They nest well with each other.
I have installed 5 - 20 amp electric circuits so as to not over tax any one circuit. Also led lighting, which is mostly off for the pictures.
Got to love computers, I put the pic's in right side up, but................ beyond my control. Sorry.
Also thanks Michael for the picture help. I just simply missed the upload attachments tab.
