44vaquero's Bench

Post by 44vaquero »

My bench is located in my 1st floor laundry room. I prefer to stand when using the equipment, so it is all mounted to the wall above the bench.

I like that, I stand except when priming brass. I like eye level press. I need to modify my current setup thanks for the idea.

wabbit, that picture was taken during a rare moment when everything but the kitchen sink was bolted on. I actually have 2 or 3 more presses that are still in storage. The bench generally operates with only 3 presses and no powder measures other then the press mounted ones.

47, I have found the shallow depth bench w/press shelf to work out excellently for me. The 18-20 inches of relatively unusable real-estate behind a reloading press on an average bench always bothered me. By putting it under the press so to speak it is not wasted. The picture does not show an additional 3 feet of cabinets and bench to the left.

Ranch Dog, Thanks for the add on this forum.

44vaquero you just gave me a great idea and a way to save money at the same time by using a shelf I already have and the Wife was going to toss out, thanks.

Pretty organized 44vaquero. Did you make the roller handle on the Loadmaster?

Steve, Yes I did! It cost about $4.00. I used a copper coated pipe hanger clamp and a 5 1/2 inch x 3/8 bolt, a couple of washers and a piece of 1/2 PVC.

It works very well and did not alter the LM in any way.
