Whew! 110 pages of good ideas. I'm in the middle of a move from Alabama to Georgia now for a Land Surveying Job so all of my reloading stuff is packed away in a POD. I'm getting real anxious though and I want to do some bench upgrades.
I'm another user of the ol' Harbor Freight bench. I used to be a manager at a few HF's and I got one at a good deal. It serves as my present loading bench and I had a Lee Turret Press mounted to it. I had it mounted so that I had full use of the drawers and the vice. It's pretty sturdy, but I want something bigger. I've also got one of the Craftsman benches that some of you guys are using but it serves as my basic garage bench.
I just took advantage of the 500 free bullets with the purchase of a Hornady LnL AP so I've got one of those at the house now. I'm real excited to get it all set up in my new place. I was using a spare bedroom in my house in AL, but the rental in GA has a huge basement so I'll be loading downstairs soon. I'm not going all out on building a bench yet thought because we're only renting to learn the area. In about a year we'll be buying a house and that's when I plan on going all out.
I really like huntinco's setup. The shooting range part of the bench is something that I doubt I'll be able to replicate, but I like the low U shape. I prefer to have something desk height rather than bench height. Ideally I'd like to have my computer chair to swivel back and forth between the laptop and my loading bench, but in a nice U shape. I've been saving pictures for ideas so far.
Thanks for all of the good pictures. I can't wait to use my new progressive press!
