I saw the bench and it seems good, but I'm not sure I'm going that way. It's very nice and neat - and neat is really something I need to go after. <br /><br />I'm thinking about a dual station bench - one for the Rock Chucker single stage and one for the RCBS progressive with a prep center near or between them. Still haven't worked out just what. I need to open the 3D cad SW and poke around with a few ideas. <br /><br />Another reader emailed me personally and showed me his. It's really cool, but a standup only bench. I think I'd rather have it a seated thing. I'm used to working that way.<br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-63419314551279338562014-03-21T16:10:23.083-04:002014-03-21T16:10:23.083-04:00People have come to me for advice on buying an ele...People have come to me for advice on buying an electric car.

It may be the way around the battery problem that everyone is focused on. It's not coming soon, but when I look at how much progress has been made in the last ten or so years, I think they can get there in that amount of time. <br /><br />Which, of course, dovetails directly into Stefan's point about "then what? - where does that energy come from?" <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-81426793624388861712014-03-19T15:51:40.091-04:002014-03-19T15:51:40.091-04:00The capacitor that certain students (no confession...The capacitor that certain students (no confessions here) fitted to an extension lead and placed under a certain lecturer's chair made a satisfyingly loud report when the AC juice was fed into it. How impressive would one of these super cap's be in the hands of such resourceful anarchists? Also, the big problem with the electric car thing is, that you still have to charge them up from something. How about a Thorium reactor? Request for tender to Beijing.<br /><br />How'd you go with the reloadng link, SG? The important bit was the bench pic, you've likely already far surpassed the rest of that info.
