I got nothing like you guys got, but I figure it's a good start for a young buck, casting and tumbling occurs in the garage everything else right here.
the folks on here have amazing set ups, hopefully when I can drill my own holes in my own walls, i'll be able to compete!

Fowl, there are ways around drilling holes. Brace your bench legs very well and put a solid back on your bench (even 1/4" paneling or masonite pegboard is good), then stack your lead ingots and shot bags on the bottom shelf. Helps a bunch.
Basically, if your bench moves, you don't have enough treasure piled on top!

How do you ever find anything if its not scattered around?

Finally got the better half to agree to some space for a dedicated reloading bench. Don't have a basement so I dismantled a corner in the pool room where the gunsafe sits. It's got to look decent so off to buy some cabinets. I'll post some pics as I go. Still gonna do my casting in the garage with some better ventilation.
My thought exactly, can't start a reloading session without clearing away the books and other things protecting my bench from dusty.Originally Posted by Dumasron
I have a pretty simple setup as I load 9mm, 45 ACP and 45 Colt which I mostly with Black powder. I have 2 lee pro 1000 presses and a Lee Reloader Press. I bought the whole setup used for $350 as well as scales, tumbler, powder, primers, brass, bullets, assorted tools.
Here is my mobile set up. I take it to the range when I am doing load development. It sure beats making ten trips to the distant range....

@geargnasher - Good call, i'll try to make some more room with another longer bench soon and pile my casting lead in the back, it's hard to tie flies on there once the shooting season starts, if everyone thinks it's cluttered now i'll post some pictures in a few weeks lol.
@UNIQUEDOT - That's going in the profile signature!

Rooster, I am Sure glad you posted this here; I am thinking that I have to skinny down my loading area to fit the space left over after I move my bench outdoor to handle casting jobs. I have little space left and need to hang my two Dillon's on. Now what do I do with my RCBS jr. and my vise??New here been reloading for some time thought I would try my hand at BOOLIT casting. Been reading a lot here figured it was time to signup. Here is my reloading bench. Looking forward to meeting you guys and asking a lot of the same old dumb questions you’ve answered a thousand times. . . .
cheers,
Max
Here are the latest of my little work area
Here's mine, left to right:
Still got some trim and lighting to take care of but the initial construction is done, the slide outs work perfectly. Momma seems happy with it.. and I don't have to pack everything up and unpack it to do my reloading! used to have everything in a cabinet and everything was portable. Gonna do some much needed reloading this weekend while shes at work, after I get me a lighting solution.
You still live with your mother?

Your slide out system is very nice!
@MDF99 did you build that bench? I would like to have a bench like yours! That is pretty sweet!!
@Daffy that's a nice bench too!
Several decades ago I started out with a bench. Now I have a pile.
Last year I moved, and 4 pickup loads later, I still haven't found my bench.
I might just build another.
I've got to have somewhere to put all this stuff. It must be important, cause I've saved it for a lifetime.
You wouldn't believe the treasures I've uncovered, some still in their blister packs.
Ooh, and did I mention there were 9 more milk crates of lead ingots?
I found 50 cal cans of bullets for guns I no longer have. I need a bigger truck.
You need to go shootin'..................for a couple weeks, maybe that will help.
