Getting started

[DTM Builder]

This is the room I remodeled in 2008.

This is the workbench I started in 2010 and the way it looked up until three weeks ago, except it was a way bigger mess. I was too embarrassed to take a "before" picture.

I made a deal with my wife (and with myself) to finish the workbench before I get started reloading. Its been sitting like the picture above for the last seven years

The rest of the pictures are from today. Now it looks like the pictures below.

Here are the presses in their stored position.

Here they are ready to load.

I bought the Lee C Frame at Academy for $27 just to be a dedicated decapping press, since that can make a mess.
The small RCBS came in a package deal, the large RCBS is what I bought from Midway.
The back of the boards are held in place by slipping under the back board.

Here is a picture of the package deal I bought here on ODT for $250.

and the rest of my "startup".

What's not in the picture are the three reloading manuals that are in the living room on the coffee table.

WoW that's a great set up and the finish on the wood looks fantastic. Great idea locking in the board under the backing should make it very secure.

Looks very nice... I love RCBS stuff.... You really need to call Dan at Inline Fabrications for your moveable press mount system....... https://inlinefabrication.com/ I can not stand any flex on my press operations, his mounts are incredibly strong.....

Where did you get the spacewall , you have on the wall, and how much was it a sheet...??

I made the slat wall myself out of strips of the plywood I used on the bench. The top of the bench is laminate flooring, and can be replaced easily.

If I was a gymnast I could do handstands on the two RCBS presses. That mounting is rock solid, you'd be surprised.

I dont know. Not trying to be against the grain here but if i had a work bench and a room like that, i would have a dillon or hornady setup.
This reminds me of having a hemi engine but running on 13 inch steel belted radials.

Thanks for the compliment and well wishes. I you would have,seen this three weeks ago you would have said "you're one heck of some slob" LOL.

I need to find a group on the northeast side to get into some group buys for powder. Academy us pretty useless, but I did get some primers there.
