- In this video I'll share how I built my new reloading bench. The video is long at the request of a few subscribers. They asked me to show everything, so feel free to skip around of you wish. Enjoy!
This looks great. My only suggestion would be to use a jigsaw to finish cutting the notches on the 2x6 to go around the posts. You can use the circular saw to make most of the cut but don't go past the cut line. Use the jigsaw for the last small bit. By doing that you won't have any cut marks showing on the board.
I love the solid bench. I hate unstable reloading tables.
Really? You seriously felt the need to show you vacuuming sawdust? Could have been a lot shorter. Don't overcut the corners for the top. Stop at the line then finish the cut by using either a hand saw cutting straight down or a jigsaw/sabre saw. Much neater look. Having said all that, your bench is a beast!
Did you use wood sealer at all? Wonder how it's held up to solvents and such.
Is there a list of materials needed?
Darth Vader voice: "I find your lack of clamps disturbing." I'm mostly kidding, because I know your woodworking skills are way ahead of mine and I'm learning a lot by watching this, but there are definitely points at which I would have clamped my work down before taking the saw to it.
Does it make me weird that I'm actually finding this entertaining? Perhaps in this day and age it does.
Fair enough! Wow! :-)
I'm still trying to fix that flat tire... I'll be there soon enough... juusstt abbouutt there. That reload bench looks pretty hefty. Shoot lots and stay safe.
Sweet! .45 ACP from you coming soon brotha! Thank you again!!
Skeet... you don't have to do that. That was sent from the goodness of my heart for all that you do for us. Your videos mean more to me. Thank you for all the great works. I have learned a great deal from all your videos. Once again thank you.
bison uberti Thank you brotha!
I know I'm late to the party, but why did you use screws on the joist hangers and not nails? They're designed specifically for nails. And nails have significantly more sheer strength than screws, which is what you need for joist hangers.
Thank you for doing by. I used screws because they stay tight
@@jiujitsu2000 ok. Well I'm sure they'll be fine for this application. But if you ever build something that needs to hold serious weight with joist hangers, please use nails, or you may find the screw nice and tight until you end up in the basement 🤣
@@LightemupWMH thank you for sharing your thoughts
it's looking great. I may need to make me a j2k reloading bench
Jason Williams thank you brotha! it's definitely solid! no flex in my press
Now that looks to be a stout bench. I find the hardest force to fight with my Dillon is the up stroke not raising the bench. You have solved that.
ET 2AD19 7581 Thank you! That up stroke on the decapping die is resizing the case mouth. It's definitely a tough step.
sweet that looks like a strong set up. have a good day tomoorw god bless.
heath schwab Thank you brotha, it's holding up well and should for many years!
😁👍 looking good brother.
Thank you brotha!
Depending on your brand and model of reloading press you may need more overhang in front.
Yea that is going to be one stout bench when you are done.
charles howard Absolutely! Thank you
can you tell me what Simpson brackets those are?
Is the floor level? Are the posts plum?
Check stodoys !
I love it Fred!
Is part three not up yet ?
Nick J soon!!
