OK, here it is. Don't be envious just because I still have space. It's a work in progress. More work than progress. Best part about it, is the shooting bench is on the other side of the wall and my wife doesn't have the key.

Old picture. More stuff on the bench now
I have posted Photo's of my loading room. I have gone with Islands Rather than wall mounted. all are reinforced to the floor. I have been loading and collecting since I was 16. I am a lot older now but still very active. This has been a life long Passion. I do not use all the machine @ once. . just as I change things up.
Thanks
Sal
Wow that's impressive, You have several thing I'm not even familiar with. It's like walking through a Gun Shops reloading section..lol....Very Nice..
Like those All Americans.
Sal, that's incredible. More like a laboratory than a loading bench.
I don't think that scale is accurate enough for reloading purposes ;)
The Voland &son and The christian Becker are analytical Balance from the 1960.s . They both weight in 1/100 of a Milligram. or 1/10000 of a grain. In fact there too accurate and overkill for Loading. It is sensitive from 1 rod or Flake. I used these while working for 30 years
Now have used both for shooting
But Like I said Overkill
Sal- thank you for the wonderful pictures. Being a fellow addict, I just wanted more, as well as close ups!
I love your set up, it's like a working museum.
My bench.
The bench itself is a Harbor Freight job. The equipment is almost all RCBS, RockChucker II, Trim Pro, Trim Mate, Auto Primer, 1500 Dispenser/scale combo, Vibrator cleaner, ProMelt Furnace, Dies for 9MM, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 7MM Rem Mag, 45-70, and a Lyman 4500 Lubrisizer. I was loading some 45-70 with 500 Gr Boolits at the time the pic was taken. Bunch of powders for the various calibers.

It's a nice bench. I have it myself.
I built my bench for $150 worth of materials and that is including buying a circular saw to cut the wood. I still have the plans and will post them. The only thing I would change is I would plane and then join the 3 top boards or put a solid butcher block top on it.
If you do got this route - I bought a 7/8" dowel and cut off a bunch of 1" long plugs to fill the holes for the pegs that comes with the bench. A bit of glue, some sanding and a solid top is what you get. No more loose primers in the top drawers. The press location allows me to get into the drawers and leave the press always mounted. I also drilled two holes and added T-Nuts (or Blind nuts) so I can mount things like the Auto Primer or the Lubrisizer. Those two are mounted to a 3/4" board that then screws into the T-Nuts. Some all thread with a Wingnut makes the mount that versatile.
