That's pretty nice looking right there.

Update photos. Have one more riser on order for single stage presses to arrive and install, but progressives are all set.
Added an extra bin to riser for boolits on lnl in rear using a piece of angle i had laying around. Also shown is the upgrade from inlinefabrication rotating the ammo bin 90 degrees. A lot more rigid than oem. I keep this press setup for 9mm luger exclusively and really cranks them out.
Added another bin to left side of 550 as well since there was a place for it on top plate.
Outlets for led’s and case feeder hidden inside cabinets.

Well I did something not quite ight.
Old retired guy in Baton Rouge La.
I moved into a newly built house a few years ago and immediately proceeded to remodel it, knocking out 3 hallways, 3 closets, and an 8' kitchen wall with cabinets. I used those cabinets plus a matching set of drawers and bookcase to build a reloading bench in a spare bedroom.
I used hardwood to reinforce the bases of the lower cabinets so that they could support large boxes of ammo or boolits, hardwood around the inside tops of those cabinets, and more hardwood supports vertically from the base to the top band. I secured 13/16" mdf cut flush with the front of the cabinets with dozens of angle brackets screwed into the top hardwood reinforcing bands. A 1.5" thick 30" by 11' rock maple butcher block countertop took three of us to set into place and is screwed from below to the mdf.
Inline Fabrication Ultramounts secure all the presses and accessories to the bench with a dedicated mount under the Dillon XL650 and quick change ones at either end of the bench. Power outlets are installed in the cabinets in addition to power strips under the upper cabinets. I built two toolhead shelves for the bookcase using doubled shelves. Posts of metal and plastic electrical conduit serve as built in toolhead stands. Each 30" shelf holds 10 toolheads.
A long replacement power cord was run from under the bench, thru a hole drilled thru the benchtop at the base of the Ultramonut, and up to the 650's case feeder. The casefeeder was modified to hold the power supply for a KMS Squared UFO light and the bridge rectifier for my Dillon RT1200 trimmer. Switches were mounted in the casefeeder for the lighting and trimmer.
A closet opposite the workbench runs the full 11' width of the wall. Its original shelf and closet rods were replaced with chrome wire shelving which has a load capacity of 600 pounds per 5' shelf.
Even though I don't have a wife, I wanted the room to look finished and not like a corner of the garage moved inside the house.
