This photo is a few years old. There is a different lube sizer now, and a big fancy progressive shotshell press at the far right position, but this will give you a fair idea of my little corner of reloading heaven.
And if you think it is always this neat, I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I am interested in selling.

OK, I'll play. Here's my man cave in the basement, about 200 sq. ft..
Loading bench is framed in 2" sq. steel tube, full welded frame and bolted to the block wall behind. It ain't move'n. the center table is now topped in stainless steel to match the others. When you're in the sheet metal business, that's what you do.

Thats an interesting shot hopper setup, what size ball valve, hopper, drop nozzle, and does the thing pivot away from the shot bottle? Does the shot make the valve difficult to move? My 8000h gets me every once in a while if Im not paying attention. I can see myself climbing up to fill the hopper and getting mugged by a bag of shot.

Actually, the hopper is on a pulley so that I can lower it to fill. It holds near 100# and also has a safety chain on it. Since the loader is not mounted to the bench, it's mounted to a plate on two pipes that slide into two pipes mounted below the benchtop, I simply remove the loader to lower the hopper and away we go.
The ball valve never has jammed and is a 3/4" full-port. I use a couple of metallic conduit connectors and a short piece of hose to connect to the bottle. I installed a hose connector through the hole in the top/bottom of the shot bottle.
Most folks think that I did it for maximum speed and quantity. I actually did it to save myself lifting shot bags and breathing the lead that's next to my head when filling the bottle.

I used some cabinets from an old entertainment center as a start. Made the tops out of 2 layers of MDF and then put on a Formica top.
I put in some t-track to hold the reloading press.
I mounted the press on a double piece 3/4" plywood so I can clamp it using the t-track hold downs when needed.
I made a step stool to sit on. I expanded the dimensions so that my entire butt would fit.
You can not see it but there is a shooboy hammer hanging on the pegboard.

Your statement needed an amendment. I fixed it.
