    I got mine from a guy I found on craigslist. Look under materials for "reclaimed oak planks". I paid $7.50/ft. You can get them in any length up to 40'. The guy I got mine from gave me a price break since he liked the idea of it being used to build a reloading bench.

    yes, you definitely could use "my" counter space. I could use a couple of your loaders though..

    Common sense is a punishment for having to deal with those who don't have it.

    It had been a while since I had spent any money in my reloading room other than on components.

    I kept hearing people say how awesome the Area 419 upgrades to the FX-120i scales area. Liking good quality tools/accessories, I sprung for one.

    After having used it for just over a month, it is a pretty solid scale and trickler. It isn't as fast as my Prometheus and it isn't as accurate. My Prometheus is accurate to the single kernel and adding a single kernel more is much easier with the Prometheus. However changing powders and charge weights is a huge pain in the ass with the Prometheus. This is where the FX-120i makes its money. Now loading different calibers is much faster. Money well spent.

    I used to drill holes and mount everything but now I'm making it so I can remove things and reuse space really easy. Used to use a barn to reload and didn't have heat yet but had lots of space, now I use the heated garage. Trying to sell this place so next one may not even have a garage so might end up on the dining room table! Also a nice feature is I could hang them from a wall when not in use.

    That's a good idea. If you could get away with some holes, you could mount "feet" onto either side and slide each plank of wood into place in a way where the feet hold them down.

    I have mounted some of the more least used items onto 2x12's and use the same method. Never tried a metallic press that way....do you have issues when you are sizing larger rifle cases? The mec shotshell presses do well, but you do not need the empty space underneath for them.
