Maybe you remember that older topic of mine...

Since then a lot has changed. First I got my LEE pro1000 and the LEE bench plates, that I had to C-clamp to my writing desk every time I wanted to use it, and that was stored in a large cardboard box under my desk when not in use.

But middle of this year my landlord gave me the attic as a working space, which is prety complete by now, I guess. I bolted an Inline-Fabrication Ultramount to my bench, that I upgraded with the quick change option. Now I can select from my pro1000, the small Reloader C-press, the classic turret and a standard vice within seconds. I even made a storing rack for the plates not in use.

But please have a look!

I bet that feels good to be able to spread out and have extra space for all you shooting projects. Before you know it you'll be adding another bench and another ???? ;) :lol:

Very nice work area. What is all the clear hoses for?

They're spent primer tubes. The classic turret is equipped with this feature by design, and for my pro 1000 I bought a spent primer chute from Titan. I drilled a hole through the quick change plate and baseplate of the InlineFab UltraMount, to give space for the hose.

Since I got the classic turret, I'll most probably use this press for depriming, because the debris management is way better there and won't contaminate any shellplate faces. But the pro1000 upgrade was there before the classic turret, so I won't dismantle it.

There were so many hoses running around the bench that I thought you might have hooked them up to a central vacuum system!

No, I didn't... but I like the idea.

Now I know for sure why Americans use the phrase "German engineering" all the time. That was an attic. Now it's an awesome.

Most functional attic I ever saw. But does it have A/C or is it off limits in summer.

No A/C, unfortunately. But the roof's insulated quite well... During summer it's not comfortable, but neither is my flat, so it doesn't matter that much. I got a mobile A/C unit, but it's too heavy to get up the ladder.
