Sitting to reload seems to be a necessity as old age comes storming in!
As far as a convenient toilet, the front porch seems to work well.
You drop deuce off your front porch?
Around here, the neighbors would talk...

The front porch is not an option here. I have watered the weeds
off the back porch after dark when the residents of the retirement
home I share the back yard with are all asleep. Don't tell my wife.
She has always wondered the secret of my green thumb.
Let's see some more reloading benches! This thread seems to be headed
down hill fast.
Yeah it's minimal but it does make precision ammo.

Thanks! I got the Redding UltraMag between 25 and 30 years ago
when a business closed shop here. All their stuff lasts forever
given proper treatment.
Just got a shipment of the nickel Starline .44spl brass so now I
have something to play with tonight!

I've got to make time to reload some rifle ammo...!!! I am set with pistol ammo (my 650)....but I was given a 550 and darn it I have yet to crank out my .45-70, 30-40 Krag, 30-06 etc....
Gardens, lawns, spraying weeds...all these seem to keep me busy!
Priorities!

We are in the process of moving from the country to the city. Hopefully I will be able to find a place to shoot in the Fort Worth area. With that in mind I have been on the lookout for something to use as a reloading bench in the limited area I will have here. I decided on an area behind the stairs from the garage to the house.
Last weekend I found an oak drafting table for a reasonable price at an estate sale. This weekend I bought a couple of 8' 2x10's and built some shelves above it. I will put my scale and powder on the lower shelf, my turrets with dies installed and the related shell holder, are in the shorter coffee cans. My Pro Auto powder measures are in the taller coffee cans at the back of the bench, under the shelves, as well as a shorter can with the primer setups. The top shelf is for taller misc items. The first photo shows this.
I also cut a couple of boards to put across the bottom stretchers. Bullets and cans of brass will go there as shown in the second photo.
The third photo shows my Luxo lamp attached.
The last photo shows the neat lockable drawer for primers, calipers, and other little things.
I believe this will take care of my needs for the forseeable future if I can keep from cluttering it up. I made an effort to not bring a lot of odds and ends I have accumulated over the years, and I will probably get rid of a lot of dies, etc., that I do not use any more.
I have less than $100 in the setup.

Novalty, nice bench. I would have jumped on that in a flash.
Yes, Folgers cans may be the best invention since WD-40 and the spread sheet!!!!!!!
I'm kind of getting short on the shorter ones, as we have been buying at Sam's the last few years. I find myself emptying non-essentials out of the short ones and putting them aside for reloading.
Oops, that was posted by Nemo, not Novalty. I guess I was dazed by Novalty's appreciation of my Folgers cans.

Guys, that isn't really my reloading room. It's just a picture I found on-line somewhere.
This is my humble set-up:

And some people think the world has not progressed.
Just compare today's coffee cans to the paper sacks of my childhood.

Wow--lot's of nice setups in this thread. I am considering starting to reload, as I'm shooting more and more these days. You guys have given me lots of good examples and ideas.
