Oh come on. Take a photo put it up there. I obviously did not doll mine up nor really could even if I could.(HUH ?)
Well now that I think of it. If I were to take one of mine right now it would look like a dinning table.

Re: Show a photo of your reloading space.
It's getting a little crowded DW ,LOL . The local home improvement store had plastic strips made for hanging those colored plastic bins on. (under a buck a piece) So I bought quite a few of them to so I could mount my bins on the wall and off my bench. I mounted a couple on the front of my bench too so I could hang the bins on either side of my press to put my brass in while I'm working on them. Works good!
I'll take a newer pic of the bin set up if anyone is interested...

Re: Show a photo of your reloading space.
Well, my room isn't totally finished. My press stands aren't finished either. I have some more stuff to do as a bottom shelf and accessorize it. I will go ahead and put pictures of what I have done so far...
I found out really quick that I do not have enough room for every single press that I own. This does become a bit of a problem as I do use every single press that I own.
So, a quick trip to Harbor Freight and 2 Universal tool stands later, I have a single stage set up and a progressive stage set up.....
First, My single stage press stand:
That stand holds my RCBS Rock Chucker Reloading/Swage Press, My RCBS RS3 Press, RCBS LAM 1 Lubrisizer and MEC 600 JR 12 Gauge Shotshell Press.
Now for my Progressive Press Stand:
The stands did not come with a top on them. I went to Lowes and bought 1" Pine Panel Board for 30.00 which they cut for me to my measurements at no extra cost and it was enough to do both tops. I now need to put in a bottom shelf on both stands and add some other stuff. Once I get them both completed, and some stuff moved out of the room that these will take the place of, I will get some better pics.
On the Progressive:
3 Dillon Square Deal B Press's, each press is it's own caliber so no worries about having to switch anything out. 40, 9 and a 45.. All dedicated. Then I have Big Red, my Hornady LnL for .223, 6.5 Grendel, then for hunting rounds, .270 and 30-30 Later to add .308,.243 and the 50 beowulf....

Getting a die set for every cartridge you shoot is hard enough....but a stand alone press dedicated to each cartridge is over the top....you've got it bad DW,LOL.

Tommy do you know that the dies screw in and out? J/K I wish I had the room to set everything up and leave it out but I don't. I would think it would be a good idea to go to garage sales at tommys house

Re: Show a photo of your reloading space.
LOL, you guys crack me up. I started to drink that blue koolaid, but the glass sprung a leak so I had drink it as fast as I could as not to waste a drop ...
Na, not totally a Dillon fan per say..... Notice I did go LnL, even tho it was used.... Thanks to Bill for getting me started with the Dillon. My first SQD press I got from him. In the lot, there were tool heads and dies for each of the 3 calibers that the wife and I shoot. While it does not take long to switch out tool heads and primers, this makes it a little nicer, just roll the office chair to the next caliber and keep on loading.
With this press, the dies are one of a kind so to speak. They do not take regular dies that you can screw in and out. Instead, they look like round cylinders that you just drop into a hole and then attach the tool head to the top of them with the other tools needed.
With the cost of the dies and toolheads, for both 114.00, dies are around the 80.00 mark and the tool heads around 30.00 (there are more numbers in there), when I came across the other 2 press's without dies or toolheads, the price was just right to the point the wife didn't even mind me getting them, I took them.
I am going to affix a piece of 2x6 to each of the leg of the stand to take the bouncing out of them and have a stable foundation. I was going to bolt to the floor, however, there isn't that much room to leave them out in the middle of the floor and still be able to get around the room. I am going to take my first bench I built completely out of the room and then sit both stands over against the wall. Then when i am ready, simply slide the stand to the middle of the room so that I can just move around all 4 sides to which ever press I plan on using and get r done....
Bones needs to get some time and post his set up on here lol

Re: Show a photo of your reloading space.
OK here is my disaster area. I'm trying to cram everything within 8' of table so I am a little crowded. Need to get a few shelves on the wall to move some of the clutter from the table.
Amazingly enough I can find most everything on the table but I get tired of stuff sliding into my lap when I am full length resizing belted magnum brass or swaging bullets.

Re: Show a photo of your reloading space.
My workbench is the former kitchen table, and serves as my combined reloading bench, and firearms work area.
At any time I have a few TC barrels stacked on the table as well as a few scopes that need mounting; TC forends to drill, pillar and glass bed; and occasionally a Contender frame to do a trigger job on.
One of my main issues is that I have no place to store my bulk brass - so it sits on the table. Somewhere in that mess is a few thousand once fired LC .223 & .308.
My wife & I hope this summer to move things around in the sheds & garage to make more room for our stuff.

Re: Show a photo of your reloading space.
Very nice eagle60 - I like that lazysusan type deal with round die boxes. I don't know if your wood/machine shop was air conditioned, but I like being comfortable and I see you have an a/c unit there, so that's nice.

Re: Show a photo of your reloading space.
Thanks mac. The die storage isn't mounted on bearings or anything so I have to manually turn it in the cabinet to get to the ones in back. It seemed like the best way (for me at least) to store those round containers AC is nice but I don't turn it on much. The ac has a hard time keeping up 'cause that is one of the Lowes tin building specials that I finished on the inside. Believe me when I say that it gets "hotter than a nanny goat in a pepper patch eating 10 rows at a time" in there At current electricity prices it's really not feasable to run the ac so I'm out there in the early mornings or at night mostly.
That is a sweet looking setup you have.
