Got my bench put up together today. I'm new to reloading. Been reloading .223,9mm,7.62x39. But I know it's nothing compare to these guys with thousands of dollars into there reloading equipment but I'm just starting out. Started about at the beginning of the year. But like my set up

Yea I put a fresh coat of paint on that press. It had better days to say the least. Traded a guy two boxes of 9mm when 9mm was cheap. But I also painted the outline of the rcbs on the one and rc on the other and the patent number. I think that came out nice. Probably the most thing I got pride on. But I had an older reloading desk but I made it out of extra pieces of wood I had from doing my sons crib. Anyway that one collapsed so I need a new one. Any thought of the finish I should do. I put watco danish oil but want more of a sheen look. Maybe wax I'm thinkingOutstanding! My first "bench" was a chunk of 1" plywood my press was bolted too, I would C clamp to my dorm room desk at OSU. Worked but nowhere as fly as the one you have! + that RCBS will outlive most of us and keep cranking out ammo, great press.

Good show,, you're already ahead of the curve just having a dedicated bench/space to reload.Got my bench put up together today.
I've been thinking of starting out with reloading. What equipment are you starting with?
As far as a top finish for a bench, I'd get a piece of Formica and glue it on. I guess I'm a little overboard on stuff though but it sure makes cleaning up a mess a lot easier.
