I'm more of an experimenter than a mass-producer...
And I prefer interesting clutter to tidiness ... sorta like a 1950's hardware store with a rolling ladder and tiny drawers up near the ceiling...

We moved in here April 1, 1978 and it was attached to the bench at the right, which didn't work out for my loading area, so I just moved it over to the loading bench.
It's very heavy duty though, cast iron and has 2 - 5/8" bolt holes for mounting to the leg/wall.
No clue where it came from as it came with the house when we moved in. I really like it though, used often, mostly by buddies that drop by to talk reloading a guns. It's name is Seymour....Seymour Butts. Seen a lotta butts in it's time!

Dang! I wish I could find Seymore's brother. I'd put it to use 'seeing more'. Been looking for one for a while. Thanks for the reply.

I Googled 'electric trolley swing-out stool and got some hits. Mostly from Pinterest (I don't like that site at all), but also a couple from urban reuse. There are also some pictures of the exact on that I have here....
electric trolley swing-out seat - Google Search
It's in the second row , third from the right (grey background). No price listed (that's why I hate Pinterest), but its Seymour's bro. Double knuckle cast iron with a hard Maple wooden seat.

I want to thank each and every one of you that has replied to this post. Some of you guys are "hard core" reloaders!!!!! I personally like looking at the pics and getting ideas for my reloading room and dreaming. This is the BEST forum on the web. Who knows, this may become "a sticky".
Mike Campbell wins "Most and Best Clutter Award" for Reloading Area. I bow down to your ability to accumulate. You have saved me from my wife's cleaning.
Mike Campbell, you are my hero. Your room looks like what I thought a shooter's room should look like when I was a kid. I thought my current set up was my dream come true, but you just confirmed that I have come drastically short of my goal.
I'm going to copy your pics and have them blown up to poster size and put them on my walls of my man cave.

I use one 0f the bedroom that is not in use and made the bench with my brother to make it all work for me.I do not have a fancy looking set up but get the job done.I reload shotgun and rifle and handgun beside I have a place in the attic to cast my boolits .Since the chimney can not be use for the furnace use it for vent with a bathroom fan to suck out the fumes and what ever smoke that is not much to talk about.

My reloading room is a converted storage room attached to my garage. I cut a hole in the wall and put an A/C in and I have a propane and an electric heater on the floor. It’s nice and cluttered and I know exactly where everything is. It’s well used and always looks like I just stepped out for a moment. I do keep a well maintained, mowed and weedeated front yard however.

I don't have a dedicated reloading bench even. So I have holes in the workbench to mount the press on, via bolts with wing-nuts.
Bench primer, powder dumper, etc. are mounted to hardwood boards 3/4 inch thick. These get clamped onto the bench with a big c-clamp as needed.
I can set up and tear down in seconds.

In the farm house I had a 12'x15' reloading room. 17 running feet of reloading bench. Floor to ceiling shelves 8' wide. A L-N-L AP, a Dillon 450 upped to 550b with case feeder, a Redding T-7, two Rock-Chucker presses, two Lyman bullet sizers and 4 or 5 single stage presses to fill in where needed. 3 progressive shotshell loaders, 4 MEC 650 loaders. Dies for 117 different cartridges, numerous Lee Loaders and 310 tools!
Then I moved to a condo. After 4 years, I almost have everything sorted out. I now have 5 whole running feet of loading bench, in the laundry room, but my wife is happy! Happy Wife=Happy Life! I can make ammo faster than I can shoot it, so I'm ahead of the game! And I don't have to mow grass, paint the house, or shovel through snow drifts to drive anywhere in the winter!
I do miss, just walking out the back door and shooting a test load!!! I also miss bon-fires, and this town has no Stars, Oh how I miss the stars on a clear night!!!! Some call it progress, I call it getting old!
