    The pile of Brass shavings on the RCBS trimmer made my arm hurt just looking at it.

    My little bench. Not much space at the moment. Hopefully I will get a big shed in the garden and move it all in there

    Opentop...now there is an honest pic of a working bench...Wow, yours might be a pinch fuller than mine!!! Chris, you should get the award for utilizing the most bench mounted machines in the smallest area!!! Nice guys, and no, I haven't posted mine yet.
    Take a kid to the range, you'll both be glad you did.

    From 12X18 shed to 5X5 closet

    When I moved to South Texas in the mid 1980's I when from a 12X18 shed to 5X5 closet. It ain't easy but if you want to reload you’ll get very creative. Ain't much room to work with, so all I do in there is the storage of reloading supplies, presses, dies, doing the pleasure of reloading, you get the drift. All casting done is in the back yard and it's done in the early spring or late fall due to the weather here. Summers = 90 degrees or better heat. Under normal conditions it’s a mess but ya gotta work with what ya got.

    Welcome Chris to cast boolit heaven! ..

    Not trying to hawk my wares on ya, but you would be a great candidate for my Press Base Mount and free up some room on that bench ...!

    It' even more crowded than mine and that's not easily done ...

    One of the things that I've noticed on most of the videos that I've seen on YouTube concerning people's reloading presses and such is how wobbly the tables that they use are. I guess it works and that is what counts, but personally, if I was going to post it as a video, I would be a bit embarrassed if my table was not rock solid.

I prefer my work area to be nice and clean. I think this reduces the distractions and chances for mistakes. I am also of the opinion that the table should be attached to the wall so that it doesn't wobble when you are pulling down on the press arm.

    One question though... Why no insulation for the ceiling / roof?

    Is the air-conditioner able to keep up with the heat that comes in from that uninsulated metal roof? You look like you have quite a few trees shading it, so maybe it isn't as bad... If I tried that around here, I doubt the air-conditioner could make up for all the heat coming into the room from the metal roof... I'll be glad when the next Ice Age comes so that we'll finally have a *temperate* climate around here...
