Bench improved by accident.

jashoffa · 08-05-2009, 06:26 PM

Well I purchased a reloading kit some months back but with the rush on reloading supplies and few primers in sight I haven't gotten into the full swing of production yet. I have a fair amount of spent brass saved up and I have been preping that slowly but not much else. My bench is an old kitchen cabnet (about a 3 foot section) with a ply wood top. The Press is mounted and I bought some plastic parts bins for orginization. I had been considering what kind of shelf I wanted to build for the wall to make more storage and to mount my Powder thrower on (it is the lyman one with clamp). Well yesterday I was walking through the basement and saw a set of selves sitting along the wall and thought....that is it. It is three shelves, free standing, about 2 food wide and six inches deep. Just perfect for not taking up too much room but good to get stuff moved off the main bench area. The powder thrower mounts solid and some frequently used iteams are out of the way but close at hand. Just goes to show you if you keep your eyes open a solution to a problem will present itself!

good for you. The price was about right also.
I used to use a folding table for years but when my company moved we got rid of alot of our desks. They were going to throw them away and I took one of the nicer desks and a few book shelves. Like you said keep your eyes and ears open and you can find what you need.
