Jimbo -
Very nice, organized and tidy.
Your set up reminds me of when I first began. I had a Sears workbench tucked into a corner of our bedroom with accessories neatly organized and stored just as your's are.
Hotbrew -
Nice area. I see you are well on your way of consuming the entire basement.
Good work, fella's.

Reloading Room.
I finally got some pic's made.

It is one bay of a 3 car garage which I walled off for a reloading room. I got the furnishings from a pharmacy that was being remodled for free. 18 feet of counter and 65 feet of adjustable shelving(2 sided). It is not as neat as I would like, I have to use it for other projects as well

The only good cast boolit is the one that hits the target
I will tell you what if some of these so called Anti Firearm people could see some of these reloading rooms they would have a Heart Attack lol.

More about me
Sounds good but in reality I think that would be a bad thing. We should keep this stuff kinda Hush Hush.
As in especially right now with all of the shortages of all things related to shooting there are a few that have the ability to make what they need. I did not really plan for this kind of Insanity but as little as I shoot I can make up what I need for what I shoot probably for the rest of my life. Except .22 Rimfire and that honestly to me is of no consequence.
And if it got even worse I could probably happily narrow my calibers to .38Sp/357 Mag,.44 Mag and .358 Winchester and .35 Whelen.
As the .38Sp/.357 Mag and .358 Winchester and .35 Whelen are kinda cross overs as far as Boolits go.
The .44 Mag is just my Favorite lol. So I threw it in there lol.

Good job Hawkeye, it still looks orderly like a pharmacy!

Hawkeye, the "recycled" pharmacy cabinets are great. Your work space is great, just "too" organized maybe. I like to take something someone else is discarding or no longer using and make it valuable to me. All the work benches and cabinets in my machine shop/reloading shop are recycled (school surplus, home remodels, road signs, electrical/telephone cabinets and on and on). My woodworking shop is the same with cabinets from old houses, a fancy bar, hospital remodel, old solid core doors and others. One I use a lot for small stuff is electrical and telephone wall cabinets used for electrical and switch gear--just gut and add shelves.
I am new to this forum, but certainly not to casting and I think this is one of my favorite stops on the forum. Thanks Guys

Wow, some great looking benches here. I'll have to finish up these rounds and give it a nice clean before I post mine! Thanks for the incentive

Figured I needed to post some updated pics.
Have to add a wall cabinet and some shelves under my bench so I can get it cleaned up.
Had to add a second bench for a cleaning area. Plus gave me a spot to set up my RCBS LAM2 and store some equipment.
You all have some great, great benches. Here are a few pics of my man-cave. The shooting/sighting bench is currently serving as my casting table. The casting shelf is removeable and the double doors open up to a 100-yd range with 3 berms (25-, 50- and 100-yd). The chest of drawers holds a lot of other tools and supplies and miscellaneous loading blocks, etc. I also have additional cabinets for loaded ammo, cleaning supplies and medical supplies like bandaids, alcohol, etc. My primers are in individual military ammo cans and stored under the bench with the turret press. My three Mec 600 jr shotshell reloaders are stored under the mechanical bench where the drill press is mounted. The shotshell reloaders each have the same base that can be mounted/unmounted in the same place on the bench, which saves a lot of space.
