I particularly like the Coors lights, nice touch.
I don't expect my wife to understand the difference between all the firearms that I own and she has finally come to realize that I will never be able to understand that the dozen or so pairs of black shoes she has are somehow different (much less all the other shoes). If she dies first, I doubt I will know which of her jewelry is real and which is fake. She says that she wants to die first so that she doesn't have to deal with all my stuff.
A preacher once told me that there will be no beer in heaven or hell, so I told him that I would just as soon not die then.
Just the thought of my stuff being sold for less than what I paid for it will make me roll over in my grave.
Just finished changing my loading setup (3rd time). Office space is limited, so I used an old table pedestal from a buddies driveway, put a piece of scrap aluminum plate on top. Attached are (red) bonanza powder measure, star sizer, two rockchuckers, and an rcbs auto primer. The pedestal is round, so I just turn whatever tool I want to use so it faces me, the use my desk to use as a work area.Attachment 122565Attachment 122566Attachment 122567Attachment 122568

I wish I had the space and organization you have! I imagine it must be a pleasure, plus! to work in such an uncluttered area! I have a '60s computer printer table with shelves from floor to ceiling to house my stuff... Plastic milk crates on Harbor Freight moving dollies stacked in a closet for brass; I do do my casting outdoors...
BEST!

Here's my setup. The bench is used for reloading, smithing, fixing kids toys, you name it. The vise can be removed because it is mounted ona piece of wood. My MEC presses, bench grinder, and drill press all have the same base, so they can be bolted in to the same spot. I just ordered my first casting pot and it will go below the hood. If I open the window, I can pop the piece of wood in for the vent. The ammo cabinet is a repurposed Subway bread cabinet. I tried to use the panoramic setting on my phone, so hopefully this works.

I've been reloading in a 7'6" by 12' room the last 18 years with a 72" by 22" bench and 60" by 22" bench in an "L" configuration. My gunsmithing workbenches take up the other half of the room.
The Dillon in the middle is the 450 I bought back in 1984 and have since changed to the 550 interchangeable toolhead frame. It is my dedicated .41 Magnum machine with toolheads setup for jacketed bullets for the Desert Eagle, Lyman 410459, RD TL411-255 and .41 Special.
The Dillon 550 on the left was bought at an estate sale 20 years ago and is now the "Large Primer" machine after I got the 550 on the right at a gunshow which is the "Small Primer" machine. After selling off the unneeded conversion kits, toolheads and other extras that came with both machines I have about $125 invested in the two.
My old Lee Challenger press that I used for rifle just got moved to the end of the short bench to make room for my new Red White and Blue RCBS Summit press. I just loaded up some 44-40 with Trail Boss and Lyman 427666 200gr using the Summit and I am very pleased with the smooth operation of the press.

Got another one coming in tomorrow or the next day....
the value of a 360 degree workbench cannot be overstated. I keep mine clean, with surrounding workbenches in constant states of disaster. Always ready for collecting guns and ammo for range trips, cleaning guns, assembling guns, or countless other projects from general casting to furniture refinishing to every and any construction project.
When it comes time for me to finally buy a house I'll have to look through all these pages again to see exactly how much space I think I'll need and steal some ideas for set ups and storage. Right now my current set up is abbreviated for apartment living but I have lots of stuff stashed at my parents house yet. Also will want to find a house with a summer kitchen....not sure why houses these days are so....useless when it comes to actually living in them.
I haven't been reloading long (less than 2 months), but here is my setup in the garage

Ain't that the truth! My casting bench(old kitchen table) is a perpetual disaster except for the space where my pot and a towel sits. My loading bench-not as bad but still have a random die, brass, wrenches, a rag, brass, boolits always in the way. Oh well, coming here makes me feel better[emoji4][emoji106]
Thats exactly how my reloading room is. Random stuff everywhere until I get to a point where I gotta clean....errr...straighten things up.
