Reloading room tour...

[@outlaw1388]

One of the nicest reloading rooms I've seen on here.....

[@terryhatfieldmin]

outlaw1388 Thank you! I have an updated tour of the reloading room on my channel. I’ve done quite a few upgrades since this vid was done.

[@troyreif8674]

Really nice job, looks like a relaxing place to load

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you Troy.

[@markpadon1512]

Absolutely hands-down the best reloading bench that I have seen on here! I’m at woodworker myself and I was looking to build my first reloading bench and you gave me some great ideas thank you so much!

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks!

[@kevinhandy2490]

Incredibly well thought out. Great equipment, great layout.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks!

[@loaderjoe1934]

Awesome setup

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you!

[@commonsensepatriot9450]

Very tidy and squared away. Great job building the bench.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks!

[@donball5918]

I like your observation that "It's a work in progress." My spatially challenged reloading room has been around since about 1992 and has had more facelifts than an aging Hollywood leading lady. One of the foremost "problems" I have confront is my being a "brass magnet" on range trips and having to perpetually find new corners to store empty cases.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

I've learned to never use the word "done" with anything I'm involved it. Always thinking about how to improve.

[@p71collector]

Excellent organized room and bench set-up. I love that cartoon of the boy about to pop a paper bag when his dad is reloading! I just printed my own copy and it too will be on the wall by my reloading bench.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you! I love that cartoon! Glad all our kids are grown and gone so they don't actually do that. lol...

[@HITTING-STEEL-CA]

Beautiful set up.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you!

[@rdsattube]

Love the Flag & Tags. Your Dad would be proud. Great work on the bench and room. Great job overall. Two thumbs up.

Thanks Dave!

Thanks you Ken!

Wow!! You spare no expense Sir. Lapua and Bergers! Excellent bench too!

Thanks Dan! I wanted to do it up right the first time.

Thank you!

[@youknowit8799]

Oh my goodness, for someone that has only been at it for a couple months, you have more top of the line stuff than what most reloader’s can gather in 10 to 15 years. 😂

[@donatiendelcroix734]

I'm from France and searched a good inspiration for making a reloading room. I fount it ! Thank you so much for the great setup you made.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you!

[@slt4string]

Hi Terry, First,hats off on your bench build,excellent layout and I can imagine the work flow,uncluttered and organized,only way to reload. You've given me a lot of ideas for my own bench build and I do appreciate your video,it's been a much needed kick in the pants to get going on mine.One big pat on the back for getting your dad's flag up on display,I'm sure he'd be very proud and appreciate it,crowning touch to a great room,thanks again for the inspiration......Steve

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you Steve! The room was a labor of love and it is so much more special with Dad's flag in there.

[@rout9291]

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you Gary!

[@rwoodfolk]

That is the nicest Bench I have seen yet. Love your work

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you Romano!

[@luvtahandload7692]

Here's a tip: since you've already got the air compressor, attach a rubber tipped blow gun and stick the tip tight into the mouth of the case and blow the water forcefully out the flash hole. Reverse the cases (I pick up 3 at a time) and blow the primer pockets by simply waving the blowgun across them. You are now free to use the brass dryer to make jerky. 😁

[@smsgtbulldog]

Way cool setup!!!!!

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you!

[@witterhemi]

that is an excellent setup man!

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Zach Wittrock Thank you!

Wow!!!

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you Thomas!

[@shaverlocal]

very nice setup! I built mine out of 2x4's and plywood.. I probably could not afford for you to build one for me and all my presses, and supporting equipment. That however is an awesome start to a great reloading room!.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you!

[@rahubba1]

Great organizational ideas keep things clean, out of the way, and easy to find. Almost looks unused! (Which I am sure is not the case.)

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks! Some days my level of OCD is a blessing. Other days it's a curse. I can't stand for any of my areas to be messy and I'm sure not doing any video of them when they are. :)

[@billprice6248]

clean look

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks!

[@jw3256]

Nice very Nice and simple. I can see that you believe in " all in a penny for a pound and buy once cry once for purchases" However I am kinda of surprised you have the RCBS press when other single stage produce less run-out Forster Co-Ax considering some of your reloading set up investment as higher end. Good for you Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks Jeff! There is a later tour on my channel with a few updates since I did this one. The RCBS has done well. Debated the Coax but decided to stay with this one.

[@saint474747]

Talk about proper man cave!!

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thank you Jeff!

[@HUSTONFARMSest]

Nice setup. I’m in process of setting up a room now that my kids have all left the nest.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks! I love my kids but I also took advantage of their rooms once they were gone. :)

Hey Terry, I didn’t know that you had a KZbin channel! I thoroughly enjoyed the video.

Hi Kirtus! Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you sir. You're a true Craftsman, I hope mine will come out half as nice as yours. I subd as well. Thanks again.

Getting full of good toys Terry, I just order the regulator for my annealeez machine, I had to look for your post at our facebook group hahaha.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Mark Hernandez Thanks! I’m enjoying the toys. 😀

[@parkerevans213]

Fantastic reloading room, only thing I can think of is maybe putting some sound dampening pads on all sides of air compressor box but that it.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks Parker! Amazingly enough, the compressor is actually not bad in the cabinet as is.

[@parkerevans213]

Terry Hatfield you know it would be really cool if you did a video on all the harbor freight products you bought like what they are called and how much or like an update video. Keep up the good work very impressive.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

@@parkerevans213 Thanks! I just might do that. I have many HF items that work well along with a few duds.

Getting ready to set up in my new house. Nice job but you forgot to point out the most important piece of equipment...The Cross!

Yes sir!

[@damiansmith3829]

It was looking good then I wonder what it looks like in 2023

[@terryhatfieldmin]

My wife's been working from home since Covid. It looks a cross between my gun room and her office.

[@clorr060482]

I LOVE this set up! Can you give any build plans, materials list, where to get that kind of counter top, etc

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks! The top is tan melamine. Available from most plywood suppliers. I have a bunch of pictures of the bench build in this Flickr album along with my rough drawings for the bench. www.flickr.com/photos/93396776@N06/albums/72157663547333758

[@iiamlost]

Terry Hatfield do you have dimensions for that bench? I’m going to try and replicate it. Looks like a good size workbench. Thanks

[@stevenanderson236]

Love the set up. What did you use to affix the press and other tools to the quick release boards? Did you need to use some type of glue to keep the melamine from crumbling around whatever you used to hold the press in place?

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks. The Melamine has held up really well. Didn't do anything extra to it. There are screw on T nuts under the top that accept the threaded hand knobs. www.rockler.com/screw-on-tee-nuts-choose-size-thread

very nice bench, which boxes (black/yellow ones) do you have there exactly? edit: sorry and the light please

[@davestein4162]

Very nice setup! I reload and I woodwork also. Wondered how you did the joinery for your plywood shelves above the bench? Dadoes? Assuming you mounted the same shelving unit to the wall or bench? French cleat? Other mechanism? Thanks.

[@terryhatfieldmin]

Thanks Dave! The shelving unit is all dado construction. It's just sitting on the bench. I have constructon pics on my Gun room Flickr album... www.flickr.com/photos/93396776@N06/albums/72157663547333758

It’s multiple layers. 3/4 MDF with 3/4 Melamine glued and screwed together. Then edge banded with pine.

Hi Larry. The drawings are in that Flickr album but there was another person that had the same issue. Might try refreshing the page. I will delete and reload them tonight so hopefully everyone can see them. Check back in the morning. Let me know if you can or can't see them tomorrow.

How did you attach the white melamine to the bench?

How big is the center area where you store your press when not in use - and also what is the base ? 3/4 MDF?

[@terryhatfieldmin]

That lower storage is 24" wide, 22" tall and 22" deep. The base structure is all milled up 2x lumber with 3/4" Melamine inserts. Here's a link to the reloading bench photo album. Lots of construction pictures there along with my drawings. www.flickr.com/photos/93396776@N06/albums/72157663547333758

[@matthewmelton2361]

Thanks for this info - trying decide if I should do the same thing- I had a similar idea but bought a butcher block countertop and was going to attach it to the top of my cleaning bench- its only 3/4 ply wood - and was going to use the inline fab mounts and build a small base like you did. I was worried about where to store the press and what to do with the holes- you just answered all of it and made my day!!! Thanks again
