I wish I could stop whoever it is that breaks into my shop and clutters it up so much!

Man there's some nice benches in this thread. Figured since I'm new around here I should post mine. The backstory: when we first started house shopping my only requirement was either a full basement or a garage. We found the house we wanted but it didn't have either one so I ended up putting up an 11x14' shed which I wired and insulated and then ran some line to the propane tank and installed a propane infrared heater. This was supposed to be only for my reloading stuff and tools basically a workshop. Then life happened and the snowblower moved in because our shed was too small and decrepit, then we bought a generator and guess where that went. Anyway, here's the pics:

My creative solution for chemical storage is an old washing machine. Works well and I don't need to worry about leakage

I don't feel so bad about my gunroom/reloading room/music room anymore! I think I will be working on some shelf space for organizing all my dies/brass,powder and boolits etc. etc....I really need to tidy things up a bit. Most of you have motivated me! Thank You! Doc
My man cave is getting a make over of sorts:
My wife bought me at my direction a bunch of storage stuff from Harbor Freight for Christmas!!
We's getting organized!!

Mine's getting a bit of a makeover soon too, got some steel shelving coming from a friend that's moving and got my hands on some salvage wood for shelving. Need to extend my loading bench a bit too if I can.
Yeah I saw #1204, that's a pretty nice space. Wish I had that much room to work in.

Due to my being in the military and having to move on a regular basis, I've had to adjust to keeping everything in various boxes until I need to use them, but I drew the line on maintaining my benchvise, reloading presses and lead pot. They are always mounted on the small workbench I have carried around with my household goods for the last 15 years. Recently I repainted the presses and the workbench. Now it almost looks civilized. Normally its stacked to the gills with various projects.
This summer the bench and I will finally get a permanent home when I retire!

That is an impressive man cave Jeff R.
Thanks for your service and keeping us safe, Bruce. Soon you will have space/time to get all cluttered up.

Sorry for the cellpic, all I have
Any man who seeks to live free should keep a Bible on his desk and a .45 in the drawer.
Hey that looks great. I don't think you're gonna' overload those shelves anytime soon.

My DJ Mixing area and my Reloading area ... the two best areas in my house.... (of course, both have been banished to the cold basement... but what do I care).
One thing that I see in these pictures is that some of the casting is being done in the basement. I would think the fumes from fluxing and casting would be dangerous. How do you overcome that??

Use some nice dry pine dust to flux. It smells great.
