    Nice bench, however I see one major problem. It's too freekin neat, as in uncluttered, ship shape and so on. Report back in a decade or so and lets see how it looks. Makes me want to clean mine up a bit, good job.
    It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.

    I like the setup, especially the wedge idea. Might have to steal that one myself. I think the bins you're looking for are called "Akro Bins" -- searched Amazon and found them. Dillon Precision sells them too, not sure which pricing is better as I didn't check the Dillon site.

    Yeah I looked them up already, that's exactly what I'm after. Thanks!

    Nice bench. I need to quit being lazy and build mine already.

    Looks similar to what I built recently, similar height, drafting chair too. I built mine so nice (actually stained and polyurethaned the top) that for the longest time I didn't want to use, did t want to scratch it, ding it, etc. but I slowly started using it and just recently drilled into it to mount the press (broke my heart for a split second). Now, whatever happens happens.

    I do have one request for the OP. I think we all need more pictures of your calendar.

    Thanks for taking the time to post pics of your well-lit and CLEAN reloading bench. Looks like a rock-solid foundation for your press. In a couple of years, you're going to need to run a 2x12 across the supports under the bench to organize your miscellaneous boxes of empty brass that your new-found friends are going to give you in the hopes of getting some of them filled and returned in exchange for their range pickups.

    Hey, I know you've already figured this out, but where do you keep your tumbler, media, etc? To keep down any lead dust, if you have a basement exit door, be sure to tumble your brass outside and separate the media from it outdoors too!

    Congrats on your new man-cave...

    Thanks a lot! Actually, I don't use a tumbler. I simply fill an old tupperware container with warm water and dish soap, put the brass in and shake away. Works well and saves me money
