Even money says he's either divorced or single to have a KOOL man cave like that. :D

Sorry Guys,
Been married to the first wifie since 1963 that = 48 years.
The Man Cave is OFF LIMITS for her. If it needs dusting my job. if floor needs wax my job. So my room don't tell me what I need to do. That's the Manly thing :wink:
Yea right if you believe this I have a bridge to sell :oops: :oops:


Only thing I was disappointed in was the TV. Any self-respecting man-cave needs a flat screen of at least 55". Maybe you can talk her into getting you one for Christmas, we're only about 85 days till the Daytona 500 and Nascar season starting. :D

I built this desk/bench set up a year or so ago. It serves dual purpose for reloading and fly tying. I didn't want to drill holes in the bench top so I devised a way to clamp my reloaders to the top. It works for my Dillon, MEC, or the LEE breech lock loader. All are mounted on bases and get clamped to the top.

Hi,
When it's time to load, the appropriate tools and components are retrieved from their various resting areas here and there. Only enough components for the particular load I'm working on are actually on the bench once the work starts so as to minimize the "oops" factor.

SMART!

I am intrigued.

What is the base and clamps made of?

It looks like the clamp part of your set-up are machined to spec.

More info please and thank you.

ps/ damn clever too :?

Here's what my new loading bench looks like now that I've moved down to Central FL.
Only negatives are you can't work when it's raining or the winds blowing too hard.
And then there's days like today, broke 90 by about 1:00PM and the lube started to meld off my lead bullets and was beginning to make a mess of things so I had to quit. First time I tried loading lead in the high heat.
Good news is I'm getting a great tan while I load and if I get hungry I can just reach over and grab an orange off the tree.

If I ever get home for more than a couple of weeks at a time I will enclose the bench area and run the AC to it.

As my wife runs the Idaho place my abode is not quite as nice. :)

I have a Craftsman box just like that one. Purchased mine in 1971 if memory serves.
