The pile of Brass shavings on the RCBS trimmer made my arm hurt just looking at it.

When told the reason for daylight savings time the Old Indian said, “Only the Government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.”
Now thats more like it. I can get something done in that enviorment. You don't have to go hunten round in a bunch of drawers and cabnets, its right there in front of ya, somewhere? If ya had more room, you'd just have to buy more stuff. No use in wasten ya space.

My little bench. Not much space at the moment. Hopefully I will get a big shed in the garden and move it all in there
Opentop...now there is an honest pic of a working bench...Wow, yours might be a pinch fuller than mine!!! Chris, you should get the award for utilizing the most bench mounted machines in the smallest area!!! Nice guys, and no, I haven't posted mine yet.
Take a kid to the range, you'll both be glad you did.
When I moved to South Texas in the mid 1980's I when from a 12X18 shed to 5X5 closet. It ain't easy but if you want to reload you’ll get very creative. Ain't much room to work with, so all I do in there is the storage of reloading supplies, presses, dies, doing the pleasure of reloading, you get the drift. All casting done is in the back yard and it's done in the early spring or late fall due to the weather here. Summers = 90 degrees or better heat. Under normal conditions it’s a mess but ya gotta work with what ya got.

You forgot to tap into water line... To have a Drinking fountain nearby.
Nice Set up, I'll try to post my little setup in a few weeks, then I'll move to a new place latter on this year..

Use Camera before Gun.....
One of the things that I've noticed on most of the videos that I've seen on YouTube concerning people's reloading presses and such is how wobbly the tables that they use are. I guess it works and that is what counts, but personally, if I was going to post it as a video, I would be a bit embarrassed if my table was not rock solid.
Want to make your own bench?

Looks nice, but I have to question the concept of combining storage facilities with working facilities. It seems that it would just promote a cluttered environment. I prefer the concept of separating storage and work areas so that you only have the actual powder, primers, brass, and bullets that you are needing at the current time in the work area. I prefer my work area to be nice and clean. I think this reduces the distractions and chances for mistakes. I am also of the opinion that the table should be attached to the wall so that it doesn't wobble when you are pulling down on the press arm.

Is the air-conditioner able to keep up with the heat that comes in from that uninsulated metal roof? You look like you have quite a few trees shading it, so maybe it isn't as bad... If I tried that around here, I doubt the air-conditioner could make up for all the heat coming into the room from the metal roof... I'll be glad when the next Ice Age comes so that we'll finally have a *temperate* climate around here...
