Thank ya. Surprisingly it only took a couple weeks to renovate. Amazing what you can do when you have the passion to complete the job and do it properly. The only thing I need now, really, is another dillon for large caliber (45-70 and the like) mass production, and maybe to add a sink / table on the other side (near the A/C unit) so that I can have all my cleaning in there too. I do wet tumbling now, and it's aggravating having to move the tumbler back and forth from the house to the shed.

I like it. It's quiet, and I can really focus on making quality rounds there. Now I just need to get a WiFi signal out there so I can listen to streaming music while I work.

You did a great job! It's nice to have a place to hide from the world and make something.

I'm jealous; you have a Coke machine in your reloading room. I'd love to have one of the old machines.

Be sure to build a very sturdy bench! That's the foundation for everything else.

Here's my reloading area in an upstairs bedroom.


This is a front view of the reloading bench. The only change is the Dillion 550
was replaced with another Dillon 650. Note the special bracket to put the fluorescent
light directly over the bench and presses. You can't have too much light!


This photo shows how added support and rigidity was added to the leading edge of the bench to prevent flexing when using the press.
A 2X10 was added across the full width of the leading edge of the bench so the press sits over and bolts to this area.


This photo shows the bench power panel. It's very convenient being able to turn off everything with one switch.


This photo shows the tracks for the adjustable shelves on top of the bench.
