Since my reloading and shooting is spread over several locations and acres, I'll post a bit at a time, as i do some loading.
First thing, you need something to make bullets from...

All right Wak, does the EPA know about you?
Anyway, I have several square inches to load in, so, here's how I stuffed it all in.
I have a vertical format shot that shows more, but you get the idea. My elbow clears the door frame by two inches.

This is where I spend most of my time.In the back corner of my barn.It is messy as usual,but I call it my own "organizational" technique.

This is the closest pic I have to showing my reloading area. It's the spare bedroom. It's small, but cozy with a tv and the computer. I have some cheap plastic drawers as seen in the lower left hand corner that are good storage and reduce clutter. I also have a lot of shelves on the wall and in the closet that also houses the gun cabinet. When I build a shop I hope to incorporate a room soley for gun stuff.

Here are a couple views of my workshop/reloading area. Very cluttered due to continueing nonshooting related projects lately. Note the sawhorses with drying molding on them.

A shot of the reloading bench itself. Not cleaned up in any way, obviously. The bench plans came from the NRMA, and was built to fit another house. Moved it inb and built around it here.

I do my reloading in the basement of the house, It isn't completely done as of yet,
(too many damn other things to do on the farm) but I'll get it finshed some time this winter. (I Hope!)

Don't have a digital cam, but this pic was taken a couple years ago of my little retreat. The only thing that has changed is more stuff on the walls. What I use for a bench is that old oak desk. Drawers are full of records and odds-n-ends of reloading stuff. The closet is where I store my powder and misc. gear. Ammo is in boxes around the room on the floor. All my casting equipment is down at the shop.

Here you go. It isn't much, but it works.


We're hoping this house is temporary so I haven't done anything to set up a good reloading area. I have a cabinet with my dies, scale, powder, etc., and the little bench in the garage.
A lot of stuff is still packed in boxes and maybe one day I'll find it.

An interesting side benefit of this thread is that I never noticed how dark and shadowy my reloading work area was until I posted the picture.
So I hung some additional light fixtures I had laying around and WOW what a difference. It is a much more enjoyable work space with enough light.

This is my mobile reloading bench made out of an old Snap-on tool box. My big bench is in my gun room which is packed so full I can't do a thing in there. This one isn't sturdy enough to do .300's but it works for pistol and shotgun stuff. The "Diaper Genie" on the left side isn't for loading but for unloading if you know what I mean. We're building a new house next spring, I can't wait. We ran out of room along time ago. I had to remove the dies and stuff from the top due to security issues with two small kids. My two year old daughter loves to help reload. "Make ammo Daddy" were some of her first words.
