I used to reload shotgun shells back in the late 90’s, but only really started reloading a few years ago. I started out doing most of it in the lounge and dining rooms.
Luckily I had some competent help. I had the press G-clamped to my wifes desk and used to carry everything backwards a fowards which was annoying so I built myself a good solid bench
and bolted my press down finely somewhere I didn’t have to pack it away all the time, the bench was in my extension which the wife wanted me to finish building and stop using for a shed, its now finally a bedroom. this left me with nowhere to put the reloading bench as I don’t really have a garage (I do but it has no power, no door on it, a dirt floor and it floods most years so its no good for a reloading room.
so I looked around a bit and found this
Its the fridge unit off of a truck, it had been used for a mobile dog wash, its been wired up with power points lights and an aircon / heater unit, it cost me $500 and I got it delivered for a box of beers.
Ive boxed up the floor in the casting area now and levelled it out with a load of blue metal but I don’y have a pic of it, although I do like to remember it like that, ie tiddy lol

, theres nothing wrong with that mate its good, at least you know where everything is
. You could probably set up a hammock in there and have a home away from home,
Not nearly as much as I would like to. I try to get to the range atleast 3 times in the week that I am home and if I’m not at the range then I am out turning ferals into memories
Did a few reloading bench upgrades, I mean @Supaduke ruined it for everyone with his stupid, oh, this is just a shed I knocked up, but whatever…
3m of awesomeness. Added shelfs, strong mount, better lights… I have storage on the opposite side for dies, parts, etc. So always try to keep the bench at a minimum clutter.
Need to think of a better power outlet options, raise the RCBS press in the corner a little and I am done…
In case anyone is wondering, those 4 die sets near the wall… That’s what it takes to make one complete set for Nagant reloading dies! More experiments to come, so they are hanging around.
There’s a bolt that sits between both feeders. Clamp sets the angle and locks everything in place. I made a mount, but after I moved things around, this seemed like a good option. I am going to load a little bit this week, will see how it goes. Initial thoughts - very good fit.
