New To Reloading

[oldfella]

Another great idea; I have a workbench in my shop, approx. 36" high, 40" long, 24" wide made out of 2 pieces of 3/4" glued plywood covered with kitchen counter laminate, on heavy duty casters. I think I'll start with this bench and gauge it from there. Thanks for all these fine responses.

You mean you had a bench this whole time!!??

That sounds like a awesome bench
What's the question???????

I am looking for a specialty, dedicated reloading bench, the workbench in question is my woodworking assembly bench.

Hello Pete,

I am planning on building my dedicated bench based on this one I found in a web search for Countertop Reloading Bench.

We built a house a few years ago and used (I believe) 1 1/2" tongue and groove floor decking. It had about a 2" tongue a groove that was kind of wedge shaped. I accumulated all the scrap I could and I made very nice bench tops. I believe it was about a b/c grade so there was a nice top to finish.

Well use your woodworking skills, tools and bench to make another one just like it.

I'll have to make a trip over to my friends house who sells reloading stuff, mostly brass and ask him if I can take a picture of his reloading "room" it's about the size of my house and he must have 10 or more presses, sorters, scales counters full of dies etc.Dillons, RCBS, Hornady Old ones, new ones, shot gun loaders you name it. This is just the part in his house overlooking the lake. He has another 2,000 square foot concrete building where he sorts brass by the 55 gal drums. He has been reloading since before time began I think. The place is like a museum and just awesome!

I would take the wheels off of it, or you will be chasing it around the rosie's .

Yes, that is my plan - I will use my shop workbench to figure out the correct position of the press, relative to my height, and other dimensions for reloading. I will soon find out the most ergonomically comfortable height for both sitting and standing positions.

Bullseye - Yes, you are right, or anchor it to the wall.

Well since you are getting ergonomic on us.

"I am here to help you with your problem. At no time will your problem become my problem as I can not help someone who does not have a problem."

Better have lots of pictures for us from blueprints to finish.

OoooK. "Ergonomics" replaces "Confortable positon" ... or:

"er·go·nom·ics (ûrˌgə-nŏmˈĭks)
noun
(used with a sing. verb) The applied science of equipment design, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort. Also called biotechnology, human engineering, human factors engineering.
(used with a pl. verb) Design factors, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by minimizing operator fatigue and discomfort: The ergonomics of the new office were felt to be optimal."
