    Here you go. Flame away. The funny part is I know where everything is on that table. I built it myself when I was in a different house. It has wheels on the bottom so I can move it easily. I have it sitting against the wall so when I work the presses, it doesn't move.

    Notice there is only one bottle of powder on the top of the table. I am very strict about that.
    The two containers on the top of the little white table to the left are the cases and boolits from the last reloading session so I know what the press is set up for.

    P.S. I know where everything is on my bench, too bad I don't have a camera.

    This is probably why I like simple hand tools to reload.

    I now do not feel so bad about my reloading bench & room.
    I might be a contender, but I am not so sure now. I do not think I measure up to you two fellers in regard to reloading bench clutter... Close, but not quite...

    Put her up, JB!

    FWIW...I've been rebuilding a bunch of sawmill parts at home...and my daughters care needed wheel bearings. Only had one place to do that. It's done, but the aftermath ain't pretty.

    Like I said, I know where everything is on that bench. The extra turrets are all labeled. The hand tools I use the most are on the table top right behind the presses.
    The stuff in the totes are mostly empty boxes for the die sets. The boolits that are cast up and ready to load are all to my left in containers where you can't see them. The majority of my powder and primers are on a set of shelves in another part of the room.
    This is just where I do the work of assembling the rounds and sizing the boolits. It is all just the right height for me to sit in that chair and run the press.
    Works like a champ for me.

    Thank-you
    I don’t think you ment sexy thou.
    Grubby maybe.
    Either way I make a small opening so as to speak and load quality ammo with in that small sterile enviroment.
    Only one powder at anytime on the bench.
    Finnish off each case when the powder is put in it.
    Never had any surprises.

    It’s those powder throwers on top of the presses that do people in.
    Either the powder bridges every now and again or some non cosistant jarring and bangining on levers that compact the powder more.

    Haven’t seen one benchrest shooter set up a dillon yet at the range.

    One thing you can't have too much of - storage.

    That leg,......keep on strong and don't give in.......Its a pain and a big hassle
    That Cadillac sign...It must not be on the floor, but on the wall, you just don't walk over Cadillac.
    I got seven of them...geeeeeees...even the 49 cadzilla!

    No more messy benches this week...lol.

    I'd post a picture of mine, but it's all cleaned up and the car/sawmill parts are back where they belong.

    As an aside, some you do truly keep some outstanding workspaces. My Dad had a tiny little reloading area stuffed in a closet, but it would meet anyone's standard of OCD.

    Not staged.

    Sad to say this is the norm. Only child syndrome. I’m glad he did not ask what my garage looks like.
