 Here's mine, it's still a work in progress as I only moved out into the man cave this winter. I'm adding my third bench in the backside for the grandson and shotshell reloading.

Nice looking bench. Once I put up my generating building and move my geny, I will then use that space for shotshell loading and lubing/sizing.

Sorry about the limited pic's. Probaly had some better but those are the ones I grabbed.
East wall is the one pictured with the bench and reloading stuff. I've added some shelves on that side.
West wall is mostly storage. Not much more going to happen on that side.
The north end is where I'm planning to add another bench. What I'm actually going to do is move my old bench out of the garage to there. I've been helping son-in-law get started reloading/ casting and my son has for years. That pretty much fills up the one bench. My oldest grandson wants to help so I'll mount him a press on the new one where he can do all our depriming for us. Then I'll use the rest of the bench for working on stuff and mounting my shotgun setup.

There are always patterns and organization in chaos, you just have to look closely.

How can you find anything on those neat benches. If I clean my bench, I'll lose half of my stuff.

If anyone is interested, here are details of the loading bench shown in previous entry: The partially opened larger drawers on right side of knee hole were designed to hold 45 sets of loading dies each, with label end up so they are quickly identified and conveniently accessed, yet requiring a minimum of storage space. (Heavy duty ball bearing slides are necessary because of weight. ) Other tooling is stored in smaller drawers (You can never have enough drawers.) and measuring instruments and other delicate equipment is protected in wood tool box on loading desk. Note the 12X18X1/8" cork pad in work area, which is a great work surface when handing cases, measuring and other such work. The cork pads are also great for the bottoms of drawers where tools and equipment are stored. Try it you'll love it. The strange looking contraption inside knee hole is connected, via plastic tubing, to a primer catcher in press and transports spent primers to catch bucket.
The picture enclosed here shows a convenient mounting system for presses, trimmers and, as shown here, a powder measure stand. The 1/2" steel plate is bolted to the bench and drilled and tapped with a variety of holes spaced for different types of equipment, which are held in place with socked head screws and bolts. Replacing tools is both fast and rigid so I have a number of these located in different work areas.
As a personal safety rule, propellants are secured in a seperate room and I never have more than one type of propellant in loading room at a time. Primers, loaded ammo and bullets are in yet another room, as are pregressive loading machines and bullet swaging equipment. If there are any questions or suggestions let me know. I can also send additional pictures if it will be helpful. (I think I know how to do it now)

I am currently in the process of building my reloading room.
Got a lot of work left to do. Some of you guys have some great looking work spaces!

How can your loading be so clean and organized? Do you have a loading bench maid?

I know you're not talking to me......
I finally got the other bench moved out into the man cave. I'll try and get another pic or two posted soon. Grandson has put it to good use for me. He deprimed about 150 38spl the other night and was wanting more.

Shortly, I will build another reloading bench for shotgun stuff and my sizers, but first I need to put my generator in its own building first that I need to build.

I bought my relaoding bench from IKEA in Tempe Az. I'm a terrible wood worker. My bench is suppose to be a kitchen bench for prepping meals. It has two large drawers and a table top of hardwood that is about 2 inch thick. Works great fro the small amount of reloading I do.

Here's a pic of the other end of my man cave. This is where I moved my old reloading bench to. I mounted another press on it for my grandson. He's been doing our depriming.
Still a work in progress as witnessed by the boxes in the photo but you get the idea.

I just noticed your primer bucket. Awesome, I'm going to make that conversion on the press my grandson uses. He generates lots of spent primers. Looks like you dump yours about once a year. Nice!

I have to build a bench because the press mounted to my toolbox is not working out. The top bows to much and I loose a leverage.
