And now, a picture of my new loading bench!

No kids at this time. In my previous marriage, my reloading was doen in the basement, but my kids never touched anything.

Now, all I have to worry about is the cat coming up on the bench to see what I'm doing

Oh, yeah

I forgot to mention the damn cat, who climbs up and spreads herself over whatever manual I'm reading or whatever tool I need next. It's uncanny.

I built my first reloading bench in a closet! Open the door and pull up a chair. My reloading bench and shelves now takes up about half of my basement.

g56, that's exactly where my bench is right now. I don't have a lot of extra room, so I built it into the closet of our computer room / spare bedroom. I figure that when we have kids (soon I hope!) then I can put a lock on the door.

This photo was taken right after I built it. It looks a little more 'lived in' now

Oh, and Mike, that looks like a great start! Is it in a utility room or garage or something?

Now that is very nice. Good setup.

Loach,

That's in my basement in the laundry/utility room/workshop.

Just off to the right of the picture is the air handler for the heating system and the water heater.

You can just see at the very left edge of the picture the door leading into the finished portion of the basement.

Across from the door is the washer, dryer, and laundry sink.

Because of the way the guy who finished the basement did it, it's not a very efficient room. It's very oddly shaped, because he tried to make the finished portion of the basement as large as possible. It's shaped something like an E with the upper and lower legs cut off. It's not at all how I would have done it, but I'm not going to get into major demo.
