And that is why you will never see a picture of my reloading bench. Hell, if I did post a picture of my reloading bench, you couldn't see the bench for all the clutter and junk. You would just have to take my word for it that it was under there.

 

[Ian]

As long as I can keep my calipers and 0-1" mic floating around somewhere on top of the pile I'm ok.

 

[Brad]

Maybe we need a “Biggest mess” bench competition.

Rick and John will not be competitive in this one.

 

[waco]

Right now my bench is covered in flint knapping and scale model car stuff...

Brad said: "Rick and John will not be competitive in this one."

I would gladly be amongst those tied for last place.

In response to pictures of my tidy reloading and casting benches, my very best friend, John, said it was a sure sign of a demented mind.
When I told Gary, aka Minute of Berm, after he saw the same pictures and said his was a mess, that I don't want to waste time having to look for tools, he said he didn't want to waste time having to put them away.
One of them is right . . . I just don't know who.

 

[fiver]

mine is somewhere in between.
it'll be a lot cleaner here in a couple of months when I tear out the one bench top.
I'm going to re-do the bench top and add some shelving to the back.

My bench and table are like California freeways--always under construction, with lanes closed and offramps being used as bypasses or viaducts. Clutter is a fixture and attribute, but I know where stuff is located.

Oh man! I'd be a strong contender. I'm a slob in some respects. Right now my bench is covered in feed buckets, horse collars, tractor parts, fence stuff....just whatever wound up there in an attempt to clean another part of the room. It doesn't help when someone gives Gord a mess of gun stuff and he adds to the pile. The funny thing is I can find most of what I need on it. I really do need to clean it up and cast up and load some RCBS 30-180FN for the 308 FR8 and more 44 Spec for the '92 and Bulldog!

To put it in the local vernacular, "I got no bench". Still have to build a bench. Caught in a bit of a conundrum. I have tools, toys, supplies in boxes and bins on the floor of what is to become "the reloading room". Need to build a bench to stow much of this stuff. But, need to find a place to stow some of this stuff so that I have room to build the bench.

I am pretty sure that, once the bench is built, it won't take more than a month or two to bury it in clutter.

 

[RBHarter]

Smokey I feel your pain . I had to add a room to put mine in .
While we did that the living room was waist deep in loading room stuff . With that resolved I have 16' of bench top 3 of which I can see down to in spite of having most of the milk crates still as shelves or stackers and 6 steps of 5'×5' shelves above the bench which is 36" off the floor . The brass is about as sorted out as dump truck full of range brass from 35 ranges across I-80 .

A clean, tidy bench is a sign that you don’t have enough projects going on at one time. Start another project or six, have little piles or bins or bags or bullets kicking around. Maybe add in some test runs of dies you made. Lube? Gotta have at least 5-6 on hand. Die boxes? Does can go back in them? Huh, interesting concept.

Those with a messy bench aren’t the lazy one,they are the industrious ones doing lots of work. The clean bench guys, they are the lazy ones. Not doing enough to make a mess, sheesh.

 

[Winelover]

David, don't see any difference between my 5-10 scale and yours. Except, I changed out the plastic leveling foot.

 

[Missionary]

Still using the Ol" Redding that has been with me a long time.

 

[Winelover]

My bench top is only six feet long...............no choice but to keep it somewhat orderly.



Seems I cut off the Star sizer on the extreme left.

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

Haha. I like the lil racks with cases and shafts!!

I have a couple with Recovered bullets on strings and shell cases on tine tips too! Used ta have shafts but momma got cut on one dusting one time so that idea was shelfed!

Every time I get my bench cleared something comes up and Im loading four differe t calibers & its again cluttered...

Those were Michigan deer.............hence the Michigan license plate. Michigan, any buck was legal. Arkansas has a three point rule.

Hmmm . . . seems, according to Brad, that my tidy benches means I need more projects. Being retired I don't have enough time to tend to the projects I have in mind, but now I'll dream up others.

 

[david s]

Winelover I may have to steal your idea. My reloading room not bench but room is 11'6" X 7'. In that room are three wirer storage shelves each 3'L x 1'6" D x 6'T. A small stand up tool box for gunsmithing tools and cleaning supplies, a gun safe, a closet and a 5'X2' reloading bench. The bench is cluttered with things that are suppose to be on it without any help from me. If I let clutter get away from me my only salvation is that the door opens out if it opened inward all would be lost.

 

[Ole_270]

Still using a Texan balance beam scale I got about 1972. I keep a set of RCBS deluxe check weights right next to it so I can double check every change in charge weight.
