Reloading Bench Setups

What I like about that setup, DA is that it looks to be inside the heated/cooled part of your house. I've always wanted to load in comfort but never have. That's why I try to do all my loading before Spring/Summer arrives.
 
Looks good DA I plan on easing my way into reloading by Christmas I was going to post this very topic I have a closet that I plan on building a reloading station in
 
I finished the area over my garage. 48" knee wall. 12 foot wide. Near 40 feet long, extends over laundry room and kitchen on ground floor. heated, cooled. Installed pull-down ladder in garage, made doorway 36 inches wide. Phone, cable TV, Internet, speaker system, electrical all behind knee walls. Into voided space built bookcases, drawers, place for min-fridge(that is wrong size how embarrassing), access place to get behind kneewalls, bought a hutch (it had caught on fire!)with no base, built a base is Trophy place now, built a place for tube TV.

Only fell through floor into garage once. Very proud of that.

Never put drywall directly against joists.

You need more cooling than you think.

I used up my spare slots in my electric box and now cannot expand, gotta buy new and larger. This is painful.

Pic's soon
 
Press scale and trimmer


Dies powder tumbler and accessories


Brass up top in the blue box. Bullets and primers along with loaded stuff in the cabinet




I really need a room dedicated for all this mess but my current setup is in the dining room
 
Being a military guy, I luv organization. Here's a picture of my set up, which is (unfortunately) in my man cave (shop). As previously mentioned, I sure wish it was indoors for summer reloading. The set up runs along a wall, all powder and primers are kept in air tight containers with dehumidifiers. The empty storage bins are now full of bullets waiting for use. I used recycled lumber for most of this project: "free" cabinets, plywood, framing, shelf boards, etc.

One tip, don't have your scales exposed to vents, fans, strong drafts, etc. Air current can make a difference.

I'm a neat freak as well, that is a clean setup.
 
Here is my bench. Yep, it is really an old particle board desk and it is heavy.

The black press is a guaranteed absolutely useless POS SmartReloader press. The linkage has so much play it wiggles and waggles. Even the ram is not solid in the press. I have it setup as a decapping work station.

I'll have to update these pics as I have updated the lee turret and added another one.
