I got a deal on a lab grade ESD rated workbench and table last week.  I spent my week off cleaning my man cave and integrating the new workbench:

Prior to this my bench was that small brown table you see under this bench.  It had the 1050, Lee Challenger, RCBS Rockchucker and a Herters C press mounted to the top and had zero room for much else.  A benchtop riser shelf gave a place for the scales and whatever powder was out.

The extra space is AMAZING and being able to find things is great.  Still need to get some more peg wall hooks for a few items, and may fabricate an added shelf here and there, but so much more usable than before.

Looks awesome Mitch!  Should be a great upgrade.

You got me motivated? I went out and cleaned up my shooting area, and The shop bench

I need to clean up my tool room too. It is cramped!

This was the clean state many years ago...







My 1050 felt lonely, so I added a 550 on the other side...

And then you woke up one morning and had a 250

I wouldn't mind that.

That would be the excuse one would use for the wife. Luckily I don't have to deal with that nonsense.

Your comment made me pull up Dillon's website, hoping to find a new 250 press  ;D

They now sell that Square Deal B thingy for more than a 550.

I saw the 750 on Shot Show a few years ago, its a nice upgrade from the 650.

If I had more room in my house, I'd add a 750, a Mark 7 Apex 10, Area 419 Zero, MEC Marksman Single Stage and the Lyman 8-Station Turret Press.
