Do you like to do it standing or sitting?

[muleman]

I haven't figured out how to do it laying down which is a good thing because I'd probably fall asleep. Do you all reload standing, sitting in a chair or on a stool and why? I'm going to be setting up a new reloading bench soon and all my options are open. Pictures would be great! Mounting options for presses etc. perm. vs. temp. T-rail, bolted ,clamped etc.

I have a old drafting lay out table I use for a reloading bench that I bolted the top down. Plus I sit down on a nice comfy chair to save my back and legs. Everything is set up in arms length and the press or in my case presses are bolted down. The top is 1 inch thick and I cut a aluminum plate that I put on the under side to help spread the strain of sizing and forming brass. The heavier the table the better, you don't want it to move while you are going threw the different steps of reloading.

The local private school in town was able to get every teacher a new desk a few years ago. After that, they set the old ones in the hall and for a donation, you could take one. I got an old wooden teachers desk for $10. It is heavy but adding all my bullets and brass inside the drawers, it is even heavier. I use a office chair to sit and reload on.

Sitting, due to bad wheels.
Comfy office chair against a heavy workbench with presses on it and trays for "stuff". Chair has wheels, can rock, and swivels.

Standing always

The reloading I do standing, as my cabinets don't have an open space like a desk to slide my legs underneath. I will sometimes sit to prep brass, but overall I'm standing most of the time.

I sit all day at work seeing patients, so standing is fine. Plenty of padding on the floor so my feet aren't getting tired at all.

I reload standing, but I've built a shelf for my beam scale up nearer to eye level. I'm thinking about getting a stool just to save some stooping in certain operations. I have a compact bench setup, so most of the work standing is alright.

I do a mixture of both also. I have not done alot, but I did build a bench that is higher than waist high on purpose. I have a "bar height" chair that I can "lean on" when I don't want to sit or stand.


My PB is jacked up. Will post pics later

Depends on what I'm doing. Mostly sitting though. I still trim brass standing but just about everything else is done sitting. used to do just about everything standing but since I trashed my knee, standing gets quite painful in fairly short order. My wife made me a special firm cushion as the chair I use was too short for a bench designed to be used standing.

Your area is way too neat. You must be new! :evil:

 

[truck driver]

You mean it should look like this :?:
I really need to straighten up some :!: :roll: :lol:
Problem is I'm afraid I might misplace something. :wink:
I also have two more presses on another bench. :mrgreen:

 

[runtohunt]

I can sit on a tall stool or stand. Most often I stand. I set up my bench at a height that I don't have to bend...I am 6'5"

TD is right on! It's all on there ... somewhere!

I stand sometimes and sit on a bar-stool others.
