Here's mine.
I use my 5" vise to hold either the press or the sizer and living where I do, I can stow away my reloading gear so as not to offend the weak.
Can't be too careful in the S.F. Bay Area.
Lots of projects have rotated through this workbench in the last 27 years!

First off I load 20-25,000 rounds a year, 38's 357's, 9mm and 45 ACP. I have a small space set aside and my work bench is only 24" x 16'' with a lower shelf for storage and 2 upper shelves. I use the Hornady Lock and Load unit and their die sets. The powder, bullets and primers are kept in the basement and I keep 10-12,000 rounds made at all times in 50cal ammo boxes under the bench as ballast for the bench. I am a reloader not a hand loader so my approach is to keep it simple and make ammo so I can shoot more. I only have several loads that I use and work well for me. This helps keep the bullet type, powder and primes (as of late of course when I find primers I buy them) to just a few brands from a few good sources. Your needs and approach may be different but as I said, this works for me. One thing and I am sure most will agree… you do save money by reloading however you shoot more so the dollars spent are close just more rounds down range and that's what I really really like about reloading.

I really like this place! I'm shopping for components for my initial loads in .38 S&W Special, wadcutters, powder, and primers. Seems like prices are all over the place. Thanks for the pics and continue to show 'em if ya got 'em!

I use the exact same method. T-blocks or short pieces of 4x4. Just don't have the space to dedicate to setting up presses full time.
My work bench is purposely a bit higher than usual, so the MEC9000 nearly hits the ceiling when in place. It has to come down to be refilled, but at that point I consider myself done reloading for the day.
