Well, don't want to hijack this thread but it looks like I'm going to convert a newer fridge, so this one will be available for free pick-up in a couple of weeks. Just the refrigerator, none of the fittings. Will include a 20 year sticker collection and associated dust.

This thread made me curious.

I have 66 boxes of bullets, a couple of jars full or partially, plus some paper bags of bullets. Of course, not all the boxes, bags or jars are totally full.

My primers are stored in an ammo can. It's a little less than full.

I have 32 cans of powder, mostly full or close to it.

An entire shelf full of primered brass in 5 or 6 calibers.

A machinist 10 drawer toolbox of miscellaneous stuff and tools including about a dozen or so sets of dies.

Just about everything I need to cast bullets but I've never done it.

Quite a few loaded pistol bullets of 3 or 4 calibers. I never shoot a pistol.

4 different presses but I only use my original, 50 year old(I guess) RCBS single station.

Thumblers Tumbler with probably 10 or so pounds of media.

Other shop tools like grinder, knife sharpener, big compressor, drill press, etc. Lots of hand tools but I have more tools in the garage and in my place at Bowie. A couple of welders another big compressor and misc junk there.

I don't get to shoot that much and have way too much stuff. None of it is for sale.

Glad I'm not alone!

But you have all that "stuff" which I guess, is the main thing!

Myself and probably 95% of us are in the same boat.

Yup, I got a paddle on that boat.

Thanks to this thread I finished my bench after a year and a half.

Looks good Payne

I sure do like your bench Payne. Did you burn the wood and then varnish?

That is a beauty piece of furniture Payne. Some really nice stations posted.
Has anyone seen or built off of plans such as the NRA plans ?
Damaged Formica counter tops or solid doors would work great also.

Thanks





Thanks, I take the propane torch and go full blast and just run it over the wood. Make sure you have some water handy because you will get some flare ups. That bottom piece took less then five minutes.You can make it really dark by holding the tip of the torch really close. Don't stop the movement, do it like an airless sprayer.

I used polyurethane for the finish,five coats, it holds up well. Any questions just let me know.

Wow Payne,that is an awesome bench,,kinda ashamed to show mine now j/k,mine are crowded and cluttered but they get the job done

Thank you. When I build mine I will use your idea.

Just starting to get organized. Once I get my storage shed built I can get some of the crap out of my garage and have a clean space to work. It's well insulated and stays warm in the winter. I've been casting every night this week, got a pretty good pile going...

My setup

Nice setup Sirrah243, burn it. That grain would pop.

I beleive I just might do that after the season. The table is a portable shooting table (it folds up) that a friend I work with made for me. It works pretty well doubling as a loading table.

Be careful in the corners, that's where you'll get the flare ups.

I sure will, thank ya.

Nice work, buddy. Love that look.

My small bench but it gets the job done. I share a room with the wife who has her sewing machine and stuff on the other half.

Here's mine.

Nice setup. I really need to mount up my MEC's

I am getting ready to build mine here, my old one was similar to Payne's but when the wife sold the old house the buyer wanted both of my benches and my 7x4x2 storage cabinet. I priced out the lumber at HD this past weekend and it will run me about 80.00.

Now THOSE are awesome MAN CAVES!

Half the fun is setting it all up!
