Living in an apartment in inner city Toledo, Ohio (hoping to God this a temporary thing LOL), my reloading "bench" is a U.S. Issue Ammunition Box from WWII. With extra brass and powder being put into another ammunition box (1960's-current era box). I am using the Lee Hand Press (which I really like), which is a big step up from the Lee Classic Hand Loader Kits. If I were still living in a cabin in Alaska, I'd probably have a proper press, but for time being my setup wi have to work. Now, the real problem, living in the lower 48, where to go to shoot that is not outer limits spendy?...LOL.
Cheers
Mark

Mark | Oh dude, I can't even imagine how miserable it must be to go from a cabin in Alaska to an apartment in the city. While I'm not trying to snub urbanites in any fashion, I was born and raised in the boonies and have a hard time adjusting to a metropolitan mindset. I'm sure it's equally frustrating for city folk who have relocated to the country.

I can't stand it and would love nothing more than to move out to the middle of nowhere and have a range in my backyard. My wife enjoys the city even though she was born and raised here too. HOWEVER, we saw that dumb Marley and Me movie and at the end she said something like, "Wow, that movie should have been rated PG-13 not PG for sure! But, I did like that last house they were in a lot! It would be nice to live out in the country like that and have room for a dog to run!" This was a nice big house somewhere in Pennsylvania. Sure did look nice!

I miss not seeing mountains, and Kachemak Bay, etc. I was born here in Ohio (not in Toledo), but never really felt like I belonged here. The good news is that my Girlfriend wants to check out Alaska, she is not from here (Toledo) and really does not like it also, but we will be here for the meantime. I can accept that, but don't have to like it...LOL. Sorry for getting way off topic.
Hopefully some day in the not so distant future I can have a place where I can set up a decent reloading set up. For now, this will have to work. I just reloaded about 40 rounds of .38 Special this afternoon and it went all right, just get tired of having to drag everything out, then put it all back...LOL. It works and I still am having fun (and learning a lot as well), and that is what matters now.
Thanks
Mark

Haha! It appears to be a microwave... And also, a really old typewriter.... And one of those camp stoves that you screw onto the top of a propane bottle maybe?!?!?

My reloading bench is a 2x12 trimmed down to 10 inches deep at 24 inches across it makes it very portable and temporary. I just c-clamp it to my computer desk corner.

Jerry I placed a couple of the computer chair mats under my desk to aid in clean up of spills and finding spent primers that jump out of the catch tray. They are inexpensive and work nicely.

I originally did a plastic drop sheet, that was a bad idea, a bunch of static. If you can find a non-carpeted area it is probably best, but I have limited space, and the wife had me finish everything but a tiny utility room for when we sell the house.

You could lay down some plywood to set your bench on and to go under your chair for a temp fix.

My room has carpet in it. I am thinking about making a "tray" to go under my new bench. I was thinking a sheet of plywood with a 1x2" border would make a good tray.
Good idea SC-1.
