Here is mine. Need to clean it up a bit now that christmas is over.

I ran out of bench space. Mobile reloading work space.

Sorry daughter trying to show me how to post pictures.

I also have a 24 year old living in the basement I see I left his room door open

I like the fact he has 2 LEE and a RCBS mounted on a table but the CoAx is mounted on a tool box!

And he may just have that one kind of bullet your looking for! He must be the one that always cleans out the bullet rack every time I go looking for some.

Utahshooter mine used to be just like that until I got the old computer desk!
 
I only do handgun and Black Powder at the bench anymore

I like loading the rest sitting in a nice comfy chair. The Co Ax contains the mess in a jar. That keeps the wife happy.
 
Um, ah BGO? Just what is it you are trying to do here? I mean, c'mon! This is a FAMILY site! What are you thinking? Do you have any idea the damage that you would do if say my wife sees a picture of a neat and tidy reloading bench? After all these years of me telling her that a clean and tidy reloading area is simply an impossibility, YOU have to go and post a picture that totally contradicts every thing that I have tried to make her believe! Dang, man! Have a heart will you? I have to live with that woman for a few more years yet. Try to be more careful in the future!

And to think I used to worry about her catching me looking at porn! Sheeeeeeze!
 
Starting to get the new room finished, but still a lot of work left to do. Here a re a few snap shots of the room and the new benches that I am building for the room.

I had a few redwood beams laying around so I cut them up into 4X4's for the legs. I used some 1 1/4" Ash that had some heartwood mixed in that I did not want to use for any thing else so I used that for the table aprons and stretchers. All of the joints are mortise and tenon, then I pinned them with dowels. I wiped it all down with Watco Teak Oil and finished it with a satin polyurethane finish.

The main bench is 8' in length and 26" deep while the smaller press bench is 4' in length and 16" deep.

The top has a spline installed along the edge to accept a hardwood edge of curly Maple, that I have not installed yet. Once I do that I am going to re-laminate the top of the benches with white laminate and route the edges with a 45 degree chamfered router bit to soften the edge and trim the laminate at the same time.

I am still trying to decide on what I will use to trim out the baseboards and door. It is small (12'x7'), but I finally have a dedicated space for everything.

Oh and the wife decided that I needed a new press for Xmas and bought me a new Co-Ax! I guess she thought my old Co-Ax was worn out! LOL!!! She's a keeper.

After having a 24" deep bench for years, I decided to make two benches. The 4'x16" bench will be for the press/reloading only, as I just cluttered it up my old bench, with was 24" deep and I could never find stuff readily.

The longer bench will be for maintenance/cleaning and laptop use to keep loading records, shooting information, etc. I will be building some cabinets to place above the longer bench. I have been sharing the woodworking shop to do my reloading and the dust issues were just crazy. It is nice to finally have a place to not have to deal with that stuff, small though it is.

I had the stuff sitting around that I would not have used for furniture use, so I made benches with it. Looks better than 2x4 construction and allowed me time in the shop to build something during the holiday stretch.

I have to admit it doesn't look that clean most of the time. I do like to keep my work area clean so it lowers the chance of mistakes. It's hard for us old guys to stay focused.
