I'm still pretty new to reloading, and currently have a "bench" in the garage ... kinda cold lately, and I'd like to move indoors.
Space is limited, but I'm looking for some plans on simple benches ... Any ideas?

Heat and insulate the garage and park out side.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

wasbeemanWhat's wrong with moving inside?? If it's cold in the winter time, it's gonna be hot in the summer. Assuming you will have a "quiet" place in which to work. No kids, no TV, etc.

hawkinsYou can store stuff in the garage, then you only need a small table for your scale, measure
and press. Could be the back of a closet, or under a stair. It is safer to have only one
can of powder is reach anyway.
Good luck!

MikeMichalskiI have been using an old wood desk for 20+ years now. Drill holes wherever needed. Did add a Midway stand for the RC2 and this does it for me.

This is the bench I built. It is a beast! Very solid with lots of room. I didn't build the shelves and now I wish I did.
The lower cost me about $100 including a cheap cirular saw. All of the work and be done with a 7-1/4" circular saw, a reciprocating saw, and a drill. I used better pieces of sheeting sorted out of the pile instead of the equivalent in expensive plywood and saved about half on the cost over plywood.

wasbeemanI like Bill Adam's idea about using the kitchen table. Then the wife wouldn't have to walk so far to bring you a sandwich or a glass of tea. Very thoughtful.
