I'm trying to figure out how I want my bench set up. Post pics of your set up to help me figure out how I want to do it. What do you keep all your little parts in? I thought about buying another tackle box. I basically have a big rectangle table that came out of an office. Thanks for those who help. Pontiacdm

Unfortunately, I had to pack up all my reloading gear, for an inspection, and to make mmore room for gun repairs. But I built my reloading bench from scratch, framed in 2X4, with 4X4 legs, and attached firmly to the wall. The top was three quarter plywood, screwed down tight to the frame, so I wouldn't have to worry about vibration, when reloading. I made sure it was level in all directions, to make scale setup as easy and quick as possible. I don't have a picture of the operation, but could send you pics of the table.
Here's mine. The bench is 5 feet long and 3 feet wide at the top. It started out as a work bench that I got from Lowe's years ago. It is built like a Mack truck and twice as ugly but it gives me plenty of room to work on.

That is a nice set up. I wanted to put a shel on the back of mine. I like yours a lot. Now I know what my next project is.
Ever the minimalist, mine is about 3' x 18", but works fine for what I do. I made it completely out of scrap wood. The red cabinet to the right is an old file cabinet from work, circa 1960s, hence the evergreen paint inside. I keep all my cases in canning jars.
All my smelting stuff goes in the bottom door, the smaller stuff in a tackle box.

Mine is on a Craftnman 5 foot work bench with four drawers and two shelves and a 2'x4' pegboard backboard. I got a good deal on the bench as it was a floor model display unit with a few dings on it.
I have my shotshell setup ontp of a 6 drawer bottom tool chest.

No Pictures yet of mine but it just about doubled in size last time when I was home for Xmas (weather was crap so had to do something inside). I built a new bench with 2x4's and a heavy 2,000x600x40mm kitchen worktop. I've got it both sides of my Garage loft and store things in a few sets of 12"x12" lockers and those plastic bin storage bin thingys.

Thank you. It sat in storage for about six months then my wife let me set it up in our bedroom because my old gun room is now a guest room.
Her only stipulation was that I can't clean guns in there so I got one of those roll away tool carts that mechanics use when working under the hood.I put my cleaning cradle on it and wheel it outside to do my cleaning chores.
