Thanks
I just found this thread and I just took a picture of my bench while it was clean between doing10 and 9mm.
One more, even though it's a small space and not as wild and awesome as so many here, I do find reloading enjoyable in a way I NEVER expected. Something about deliberate crafting. I am not a person who has used much physical/mechanical skills, so it's very refreshing from all the computer work I do.
My reloading area is in my garage/woodshop where I make saltwater fishing lures.
Lot's of dust so the reloading gear is all kept in a cabinet in the house and setup when I want to use it.
Rather than a turret press I've gone to a three single stage setup, size/decap, flair, and set/crimp.
All three are permanently mounted on a board that is then mounted to the bench or the shelf in the cabinet.
All my casting is done outdoors, not a fan of lead fumes. The casting equipment is all in a small cabinet in the shop.
Here are photo's of how I fit 20# of !!!! into a 5# bag
Have you thought about getting a powdermaster to match that scale? They are pretty affordable these days.
These men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new. It is not order.
Great looking benches out there!
Finally getting my bench setup after years. Small and simple, with 3 single stage Lee's. Not really into high volume since still not a lot of trigger time.
Cheers!

Here I’ve got a picture of my reloading room for you. Nothing too special or fancy, but it serves me quite well.

Here's mine, Don't mind the clutter!
New bench setup in the corner of my pole barn after yet another move…getting tired of starting over, lol.
Lessons learned employed on this one. Plenty of lighting, right height. Decided on an island utilizing the mezzanine 6x4 after I had already built the main bench I originally intended to mount the presses on. Great space saver and functions well.

I like the island! I've pondered that idea several times but I have no post to firm it up with.
May just weld up a table or frame with wood top and bolt it to the cement.
OK Its a cluttered mess but I get her' done here.

What's the single action laying on the bench looking good?
Just a good ole' Ruger 45LC have the acp cylinder also. Its one of my newer single actions of the 9 I still keep on hand. Purchased in 2000 in Kingman Arizona new for 200 bucks.

My quiet place, down in the basement.
I grew up reloading with my Dad, and started collecting reloading equipment of my own over 34 years now. I also welded up my 2 benches about 34 years ago as well.
Its been a great hobby

MOshooter.... Everything is in its place. Tall ceiling and plenty of light. What is the height of your bench? I don't see any stools so do you stand? The more I look at the photo the more I see. Very workable and very nice.

I buy shelf brackets, in bulk, off Amazon, way cheaper than the big box stores, and use fence boards from Home Depot as the shelf.
Shelves are shallow (5-1/4") to discourage putting items two deep and hiding the item in back.
My loading bench is in an under-the-stairs closet with a 9' ceiling so the shelves are high to use up that space.
Using shelf brackets instead of building shelving units save a lot of time and money. (for me)

Size/Prime a few cases when starting off with a progressive and put them aside. You can plug them back into the process when a bad/odd case screws up in the priming station and continue loading.

I like your shelves they look great, and the narrower shelves do help to keep everything in view, good choice.
That's a nice space and the 9' ceilings do help with shelving, except I have to pull out the ladder for the top shelfhaha
I like your white paint choice, it really brightens up a space, looks like you have it well organized, looks great!
My next reloading room upgrade, I'm planning on some under shelf LED lights above my benches, seems there's always something to do.
