I'm from Oklahoma. I've been shooting and reloading since I can remember (thanks dad).


What I'm into:

Pistols, rifles, and shotguns (all calibers and gauges). Reloading for all firearms I own. Casting bullets, swaging bullets. Making my own swaging and sizing dies.

Hi Terry - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Be sure to check out our new Guns and Gunsmithing Tools post if you haven't already.

So what's next up on your build list? Any specific projects caught your eye?

Hello fom Tennessee.I just joined yesterday.I am also into guns but no reloading or associated.Just buying and shooting.Just bought a cheap western style 22 (Heritage) and I really like the accuracy.My short barrel generic 22s are likely to shoot any direction and that's point blank.

Hi Terry,

Welcome!

As a lifelong shooter and occasional reloader, I'd love to see a few pics of your reloading bench and work area. I've never had enough room for all the presses and associated gear I'd like own, so I'm always interested to see how others have set up their work spaces.

What are you working on at the moment?

Ken,

I too, have the "lackospace" problem. I set all my presses up with the Lee quick change thing. I only use the metal plates not the wood ones. I mount the quick change base to a piece of Baltic birch plywood. I clamp the base assembly to a Black & Decker Workmate. Get the highest rated one for weight. I even swage bullets on one. I use another one to mount the powder hopper on if I single stage. The nice thing about Workmates is they don't take up much space when folded.
