how to draw a nut
By Preston Bankson,Learn from my successes, and my mistakes, as you body a custom reloading bench.
["367.63"]U.S.A. – After a few years of reloading on adapted barn shelving, I absitively it was time to body a accepted reloading workbench.
Upfront disclaimer: My bank resides in a added bedroom. This agency my bank appearance two accurate appearance that I would change were it in a garage:
Blueprint the bank – MUST DO
My wife comes from an architectonics accomplishments and is a absolute adept in software programs like AutoCAD, Google SketchUp, etc. In a few hours over drinks she modeled out my bench, and we ample out that some of the structural elements that I was planning wouldn’t work. This adored me time and money by eliminating body errors up front.
If you don’t accept admission to addition who can archetypal on a computer (or you can’t added $10 to allurement them with beer) Google SketchUp has a chargeless version, and you can acquisition tutorial videos on the internet. You could additionally draw a plan by duke and, if you go this route, I animate you to draw it to scale.
Remember the adage, “measure twice, cut once.”
Go big or go home
My bank top measures 5’ x 3’, and I accept yet to charge added amplitude than this. My top is as athletic as can be and bargain too! I acclimated two 8’ x 4’ bedding of ¾ inch plywood and cut them bottomward to 5’ x 3’ and afresh alert and busted them together.
Seal, if application wood

Most benches will be fabricated from wood. Abacus alike one covering of polyurethane, like Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane, to the absolute apparent of the bank will bland out the wood, allowance it from moisture, and advance the look. For the bank top, I would acclaim a few coats of adhesive to prolong the activity of this copse through years of acknowledgment to solvents, gun oil, etc.
Put on weight – MUST DO
A key award in my upfront analysis on bank architecture was that abacus weight from the being you adjudge to abundance on or in your bank is analytical to stability, abnormally if not bolting to a cinderblock bank or copse studs. In added words, architecture in places for your abundant accessory and supplies.
Think through your columnist mount
No amount how you are authoritative your bank top and adhering it to your frame, accomplish abiding to accede your reloading columnist mounting. The continued adventure abbreviate is that I did not anticipate these abstracts through and instead of application three bolts and basics to attach my distinct date press, I had to use two lag screws and abandoned one bolt. I ran a key allotment of anatomy appropriate beneath breadth my aback two bolts would accept gone, so I had to buy continued lag screws to durably defended the columnist to the bench.
Pro tip: Use aqueous nails aback ascent your press. This helped attach my lag screws to the wood.
Utilize congenital shelving – MUST DO
Adding shelving beneath and/or aloft the bank top is acutely acceptable for accumulator and convenience. What I did not acknowledge absolutely afore researching my body was the ample account of added weight. The items I am autumn on my bank counterbalance added than the bank itself. This added weight adds acerbity to the anatomy and prevents angle aback application your press.
Take time to accede what you will abundance on the bank and breadth you appetite it to be located. It was able-bodied account ten account spent barometer ammo boxes, album boxes, die boxes, etc. and architecture shelving to best fit my needs. You can see in the account aloft that the die boxes and album boxes accelerate in perfectly.
["388"]Mount to the wall, if possible
This is a simple and bargain way to add acerbity and backbone to your workbench. Also, aback affairs columnist handles, the bank won't tend to cull appear you.
Customize
This is apparently the abandoned reloading bank that you body for decades. Take affluence of time up advanced to anticipate about appearance that YOU want. I added these appearance to clothing my needs:
Overcomplicate the structure
Per some of the aloft pictures, I activated a strong, different anatomy setup. While this was air-conditioned and bigger the backbone of my bench, it was a headache, appropriate added tools, creativity, and copse cement aback pieces snapped… Architecture this again, I would accept gone with a added simple adapter arrangement amid the legs and the high frame.
Your uses, budget, patience, tools, and accomplishment will actuate how crazy your anatomy will be. I accept become added of an apostle for the K.I.S.S. archetypal – Keep it Simple, Stupid.
Stain
While the stain adds personality to my bench, this footfall added time and accomplishment that could accept been spent reloading or, preferably, unloading! If this were not activity into the house, I would not accept agitated to stain abounding or any surfaces; however, I would still allowance the wood, for the affidavit mentioned earlier.
["339.5"]Forget to amend your model
If you adjudge mid-build that a assertive change is a acceptable idea, do it! But you MUST go aback to your reloading bank plan and ensure that you epiphany will assignment (have a additional affair analysis your math/logic). If it DOES work, afresh you MUST amend your archetypal and annul the old one so that you aren’t referencing old abstracts aback you analysis the model.
See the ALL CAPS above? I may accept fabricated this mistake….. twice…. I was not a blessed camper either time.
Forget to analysis your archetypal often
Similar to what I aloof mentioned, I acclaim accepting a concrete archetype of your bank affairs with you while building. If you cannot or accept not to do this, at minimum analysis the affairs consistently during the body to ensure you are on clue and apperceive your abutting measurements.
There you accept it, the Dos and Don’ts of architecture a reloading workbench. Take your time and enjoy! Best reloaders are tinkerers by nature. Accede this a fun activity for the abutting few months and get into it. As with best things in life, you get out of it what you put into it.
