Photos of your reloading layout/set-up

[EastHumboldt]

I'm getting back into reloading after 20 years absence. Got all the equipment on order and shoiud have it BY JULY !! I used to reload on the kitchen table back in the day but now I have a garage and two work benches. I'll be using a Lee "O"-press but I also have one of their old "C" style presses, and a Lee perfect bench mounted powder measure. I'll be doing case trimming and primer seating with hand held tools. So I'll have three things to mount to the bench... the two presses and the powder measure. I'm thinking how I want to arrange these. Thoughts and especially pics of how your setup is laid out for ergonomics and efficiency. Of course I realize a turret press is probably more efficient but I'm notgoing there just yet.

I've been slowly building mine out and am really happy with it so far. These cabinets were in the garage when I bought the house so I just moved them to suit me and put a top on them.

Next, I built out the walls to hide the airconditioner lines.

Half inch plywood and additional outlets finished out the walls.

After that, I started building all the shelves.

Once I got going on the corner part I realized I wanted more space so I added this peninsula area for working on guns, mounting scopes, etc....

Next was painting the shelves and mounting my press.

Here's a view looking into this bay of the garage from outside. It's nice having this "third car" portion that I can keep somewhat separate from the "two-car" side.

I recently added more of the Inline Fabrication system which I really like.

Having everything close to the press makes loading very efficient.

As you can see, I still have some details to finish along with the rest of the paint on the lowers.

Damn Crossley, looks better than some shops I have been in. Awesome set up!

I second this. I wish I was that organized. It looks like Scheels/Cabelas/pick your favorite threw up in a 12'x12' room at my place.

i am pretty limited for room - my old c press was bought in 64

my portable - i can set up anywhere and be loading in minutes

i am so used to making do with so little i would get lost in Justin's room.

but it would be fun finding my way out!!!!!!!!

Here is my reloading room setup. Butcher block tops. 2 presses mounted. Cabinets for bullets and powder storage.

Justin, are you just trying to make the rest of us feel like slobs?!? Just kidding. That set-up is awesome. No aspersions on you other guys... My set-up will also be in a somewhat crowded location. Thanks to all for the pics... keep ‘em coming.

If you can see it through the mess... there’s a workbench on top of those cabinet doors. This is my guitar shop where I build custom guitars to order and repair other peoples guitars. I’ll edit with a pic of it all cleaned up tomorrow. I’m a messy cook but I do clean the kitchen when I’m done cooking.

 

[EastHumboldt]

And yes... I need ALL of those tools....

Hey Justin, how do you like that powder thrower?? I've been really looking at getting 1 but they don't give that thing away!

I'm very happy with it. It's faster and more accurate than my Chargemaster.

@Justin Crossley Are you diggin the Inline Fab set up? It looks super cool but I haven't talked to anyone using it. I don't really need the quick change capability but the stand and some other pieces look nice. I have one his early press handles on my RCBS and it's a quality piece.

@Justin Crossley are you happy with the lighting? Looks like a really nice setup, but I'd think I'd want some under cabinet lights there. Are the two overhead florescents enough? I haven't built a dedicated area yet. I actually just built a heavy stand that my press is mounted to so it's not taking my up any permanent counter space. At some point I'll have a dedicated reloading room, however my hunting room took over it for the time being.

I really like the system. I don't have any quick change either but I'm planning to add some to my peninsula for things like a vise or case trimmer.

No I'm not happy with it at all. I have plans to change/add lights throughout the whole garage.

I got sick of taking my reloaded gear out and putting it away after each use to protect it from sawdust. Our garage is a wood shop. So I built myself a dust proof cabinet reloading/gun bench.

That is an awesome cabinet! Nice work.
