I've just completed setting up a new reloading area. This is the third iteration of a dedicated reloading area, which I never had before. Prior to that, I only had a wheeled cabinet that I would move into place next to a couple of press bases of the type in the Phase 1 picture below. Prior to that, I clamped my Lee challenger press to any rigid enough table.
It's taken me around 30 years to get to this point. I wonder if there is a term for one who evolves exceedingly slowly.
This is my first iteration, which was in an alcove of a room, about 2 meters x 1.5.
The floor area -
and the shelving along the top.
The next phase was a dedicated room, 4 meters x 1.5. The picture is a juxtaposition of two photos, one from the left corner, and one from the right, meeting in the middle.
The current phase moves away from dedicated working space for each press, to a single bench mount, to which presses are fixed when needed, then removed and stored. The presses are stored on the steel table to the sides of the press mount, with additional storage for presses on shelving off picture.
Wall mounted cupboards are an arms reach from the press mount, and a comfortable high chair completes the setup.
And center on the table is the same cabinet I first used for my reloading stuff, which was originally mounted on wheels, more or less fifteen years ago.
What have you done to your reloading area lately ?
