That way, you don't bugger up the barrel when you clamp it in the vise.<br /><br />Head mounted magnifying visor - for later, if you don't need it already.<br /><br />Good set of screwdrivers for guns - Brownells for example.<br /><br />Good lighting, plus task lighting.<br /><br />Workbench for general work (filing, sawing, pounding, etc.) is lower than the bench you use for reloading. The height of the work IN THE VISE is critical. This is worth having some ability to adjust the bench height - at least until you have it right, but don't sacrifice the bench's solidity.

The tools I used most were my punches, fine files and my little brass hammer. I still have them all since those sorts of tools were expendables and the supply sgt was a buddy. <br /><br />The files and punches sit in a bucket in the basement rarely used. The little brass hammer was commandeered 30 years ago by the CSM (Command Spousal Mate for those of you unfamiliar with the chain of command) for hanging pictures and such.<br /><br />Oh, yeah, and my forgery skills - Top, XO and CO wanted no part of signing every damned piece of paper required for the arms room.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245646229814895145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985287502362877219.post-33572851243171239632013-12-03T15:01:47.361-05:002013-12-03T15:01:47.361-05:00Might want to also consider a magnetic parts tray ...Might want to also consider a magnetic parts tray such as:<br /><br />http://www.grainger.com/product/WESTWARD-Magnetic-Tray-4YCK4?s_pp=false<br /><br />and/or a good rubber mat with some sort of lip.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245646229814895145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985287502362877219.post-34511456039601814682013-12-03T14:57:30.105-05:002013-12-03T14:57:30.105-05:00lemme know if you find a good source for that lamp...lemme know if you find a good source for that lamp-magnifying glass thingy.New Jovian Thunderbolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452246769246304612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985287502362877219.post-55541470003273561882013-12-03T06:52:04.995-05:002013-12-03T06:52:04.995-05:00Instead of a vice clamp, check out Geissele's...Instead of a vice clamp, check out Geissele's reaction rod.
