Re: Pics of your reloading area

I was looking at my pics again and I have to say that it is FOX NEWS on the TV. Honest.

Re: Pics of your reloading area

This is the reloading bench/cabinet I built several years ago. It works very well. While somewhat plain in styling, it is at least not ugly. I always meant to top it off with some crown molding or some kind of hardwood trim, but I just never got around to it.

This is the exterior, doors closed

This is the interior, both upper section and lower section lights are switched on

IIRC, some of the construction details.
• Built from 3 sheets of ¾ in particle board. This allowed me to put in all the screw holes I wanted without concern as they were easily covered during finishing
• Used 3 or 4 2x4 for the framing. The legs are doubled, glued, and screwed, one is 3.5 in shorter to form a rabbit to support the work surface frame, wood-on-wood
• Work surface is laminated from ¾ and ½ marine plywood (very hard wood) as it is something I had on hand. It’s covered in a maple finish Formica.
• About 3 pounds of screws were used in the construction. I wanted everything heavily glued and screwed into place.
• Double wheeled locking casters allow it to be moved, but it still isn’t easy as it weighs several hundred pounds
• Outlet strip provides power to external open section for a TV, there is also an antenna jack wall plate up there to allow connection to antenna/cable.
• Interior finish is epoxy paint
• Exterior finish is Formica in… wait a minute… wait for it… Winchester Walnut :lol:
• Upper section shelves are adjustable via brackets
• Lower section shelves are fixed.

Hope this gives you another idea. :fire

Re: Pics of your reloading area

I'll try to post pics in the AM. Mine is in an armore I built. It is VERY sturdy and weighs several hundred pounds. It was in our Master Bedroom in the previous house, now it's in my office. It took me a couple of months and a lot of $$$ to build, but it worked out well. Just an idea if you want to contest the "banishment". Good night.
