Show us your reloading setup!

Here you go!

Here is a shot of mine as built last year when we moved into a new home (after 25 years of reloading in cramped undedicated spaces. ) Given that I reload, pistol, rifle and shotgun in a total of 18 different cal/ga, versatility and efficiency was important. .General specs. 8’ long, 24” deep, 32” high and constructed out of 2x frames and 3/4”ply surfaces. The whole thing is glued and screwed as well as anchored every couple of feet into the concrete basement wall . ( Read: it’s rock solid) Press mounting is modular. I have 4 stations with identical 4 bolt patterns in the top of the bench. All press base’s have matching hole patterns. This allows me to swap out any number of my 7 presses to any position at will just by loosening four bolts. (Bench holes are backed with fixed T nuts so all wrenching is on top. Storage is organized so I can find stuff fast.. RFI Brass and reloading manuals are stored on top. Bullets, shot and common materials just below. Die sets, spare parts, spent brass, case tumbler, MT ammo box’s, wads etc. on the lower shelves. ( Coffee cans are color coded and labeled to help keep me from doing something stupid) Common wrench’s knifes, etc. are hung on the end. A 4' light fixture hangs overhead to help my aging eyes.
I do have some overflow in shotgun hulls and a few on my underused MEC presses which get stored next to my powder and primer locker (top left of pic.) as that stuff just tends to grow! So far, it’s working better for me than anything I’ve been able to cobble together in the past.

Ps.. Good thread!

This is my setup. I use this bench to reload then have another nice oak cabinets with storage space below and Formica top to weigh charges and process loaded cases and empty brass. Just applied a fresh coat of paint to brighten the room.

Here's my bench/reloading table/workshop bench/etc... I'm military so I got this so it can move with me. It's messy, just finished some projects on the Loadmaster.



 
Finally mounted a cabinet on the wall with a fluorescent light underneath. Now I need to add a small bookshelf for my reloading library.

Ah, but you still have the toaster cozy/dust cover. (For whatever reason it makes me smile. Excellent "second life"). ;)
 
One for large primers and one for small primers.

I use a corner of my shop. The bench is a woodworker bench I made out of rock maple. I mount my reloading press to a 1" plywood top that has 3 cleats underneath it that fit into the bench vices at the corners of the bench. When I need to do some woodworking the top can come off (that was the idea but in reality I've never taken it off since I made the setup :eek:)

After 35 years of reloading I am still only using my original RCBS Rockchucker press. My set up is in the basement. Reloading table works great but I need to do something to better organized the components and finished ammo storage, ha.

I built this out of 2x8 in a few hours. I don't have a lot of room so had to keep it small. I only reload for three cartridges, also 12 and 20 ga. I keep most of my supplies in a cabinet to keep my work space clear.

Small works too, looks like you have it well organized!. (I didn't have more than a 1 car garage space until I retired, now I get lost in the 1500 sf shop and can't find anything. :eek:)
 
The reloading section is in the 1st picture. Hope I am not hogging up a lot of room but I would like to share the rest of my gun room. Thanks.
