Alright, did a quick search and only found two examples. As some of you may know, I am new to reloading and am looking for ideas as far as bench setup, components storage and such.
So, If you got em, show em.

Here is a pic of the temporary reloading bench that I built for the kitchenette that I have been in for the past 6 months. The name of the bench is called "sanity". :)
Legs are from a large kitchen table. Top two inch thick plywood that has a laminate top. Have since added a Dillon 450 on the right side of the bench.

Confinscated one of the extra bedrooms for the man cave.....Now I just gotta get the entree door secured and soundproofed to keep it that way!

Guess I should offer this to everybody...as I received when the plans were still free.
Have a PDF file with the reloading bench plans from the National Reloading Manufacturers Association.
EMAIL me if you want a copy sent to you.

Here's what I got so far. Modest but functional so far.

One thing that I need to change immediately is: get a smoother surface for the bench. I was thinking something like that peg board without the holes.
Here is the first of some 220swift loads I made

Here's a thread which goes back a few years. Some pics have been removed but there's still enough ideas here to keep you busy for a LONG time. . .

Here's mine, in a 1 car garage. I put up the overhead fluorescent lights...

After getting tired of clearing a space on the garage counter to reload, I found these plans at accurateshooter.net/blog/benchnrma.pdf and built this bench with a few modifications. I plan on hanging a three drawer unit below to store more "stuff".
I built this bench about a year ago and have not been sorry, the inserts (one of my modifications) allow a clear benchtop for gun cleaning/smithing.

That is dang cool :o
I wish I had the room for somethin like that. Good work :)
lostart - get rid of that spark maker out of your reloading room.

I figured you would say somethin about that. Don't worry....I only use it outside....even before I had powder in there.
Thanks for the thought though. Just dont have any free shelf space to store it.
LOL! Can never be too careful...ya know! :)Quote:

I just started out earlier this year so my setup is small.

Jimbo: Very adequate and a good use of space.
When the Mrs. and I were first married, the duplex home that we rented was very small. She graciously tollerated my using a portion of a walk-in closet as a reloading station. Reloaders quickly learn to manage their space quite efficiently. ;)
Built this one in April, have added a few items since the initial build. Good Luck

Thanks Evo. So far it's working well for me. That table is actually a Microwave stand that was not being used any more. I think my wife had plans to use it as a sewing table 8)Quote:
