Pictures of your reloading bench/equipment

Not normally that cluttered but I was planning on taking the chrony out today - rained out. so there is extra "stuff" about.

The finger of scotch isn't a reloading toy - I just set it down to snap this photos. It's gone now. :)
 
Purchased another desk at thrift store for $15 bucks...got lucky was same desk as my other one. Going to be my case prepping desk where I trim cases, tumble, sort etc. Got some goodies coming in mail which is why their not pictured.

Here she is:

Other side is nothing but storage...hoping to get a small storage building and turn this side room fully into my reloading room. :)
 
Downsized dramatically over the years....reload area and calibers.
Now I just turn my chair from where I'm typing this, and it's almost
all within reach. I like it simple now, at my age, and several handgun
calibers are fine for us these days. [She likes it because she
quit helping load, but still helps shoot.....:D]

BRASS! It's what's for dinner!
This is my craigslist convection oven I use for making sure my brass is completely dry.

nice stuff guys, my stuff is still all in a closet until i get a work table, I have plans to figure out something this weekend.
 
okay, mines about done, minus the floor still. im still using the lee single satge, i'll upgrade someday, but to busy to shoot too much thses days, so it's still fine for what i need, and it actually does a very good consistent job, just a little time consuming. but once the brass is cleaned, de-primed and ready to go, its probably about 8 hrs for 1k rounds.

rox has my vote for #1 room. and after seeing everyones room, i love the pan-lubing, i'm def going to invest in a toaster over.
 
Might as well show my meager setup. No more dedicated hobby room, just a small space in a closet. So I now can use the whole house instead.

I've changed a couple things since this pic was taken. The tumbler is on a seperate cart with some PVC to hold dies/turrets, there are more coffee cans labeled and holding tumbled brass and I have hung both primer feeder arms on the little chunk of pegboard with the puller.

I'm really glad I have a workshop now. It sure beats what my setup would have been had I moved past the dummy round stage before we moved.

Effecient bench



Built for small spaces. Built so I can work in an arc. Use a swivel chair. I only have to leave my chair for things on the top shelf; promotes the removal of clutter and dictates the hierarchy of component placement on the shelves. Water flat so things won't roll around. Painted a durable white so I can see/find things. Rock solid (most important characteristic in a bench) so any bullet will remain standing regardless of other activity happening on the bench. Shelves built to hold hundreds of pounds yet sized to efficiently accommodate the average size of component containers. The draftsman light on the right is a critical addition for placement and magnification; direction light. Use tons of light.
This bench can do the work of most anything twice its size.
Reloading can be a pleasure or a choir. Build your bench for the former.
