To me that does look extremely disorganized. 
You probably know exactly where everything is though!

Surprised
Those are some awesome picts of reloading benches. I can't get over how many people appear to be vibrating cases in the house/basement/shop
. I pretty much go through life not fretting about much, but man, when it comes to tumbling cases I only keep that in the garage and when its running it is out side on an extension cord. Am I the only one who does that?

No, I tumble outside the garage with an extension cord too. I figure better safe than sorry, so trying to minimize the potential of lead exposure seems like a good idea. I do store my tumbler in my garage under my reloading bench though, so maybe many here do that as well.

I build plastic models as a hobby and plan to make a nice vent hood for my hobby building area when we get moved into the new house. Seems to me that'd be a good place for the tumbler as well now that I think of it.

Nope. All of my tumbling happens outside.

Don't want to critisize chrisx1 but shelving would really help you organize!
Damn you have more than my gun shop also!

I wish the only gun store around me (Gander grab your money and run mnt) has half as much as chris had. I would be in hog heaven. Though they are getting to the point there that i think they do not want you to reload they keep raising their prices on reloading components. Last time I looked a pound of Benchmark was up to $26 and a pound of Reloader 15 was $24. You do not want to buy Nosler bullets from them either. at $50 for a box of 50 22 cal 55gr BT.

I've been looking hard and there are a couple of things I just don't see on these setups.
1) SAFETY GLASSES...where are the safety glasses?
2) FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

1) Obviously, being worn by the photographers.
2) Being held in the left hand, just in case the flash sets something off.

My fire extinguisher is right outside the door to my gun room and my safety glasses are in the top of my tool box so they won't get scratched when I am not needing them.

I wear saftey glasses all day long. A job I was doing required safety glasses and since I wear prescription I had a pair of safety prescribs. made. The fire ex. is in the room (garage) atached to this room. If this room is on fire I don't want to have to go in to it to get my fire Extinguisher.
So I finished up my 3rd and hopefully final bench. It's just over 6'X3' and heavier than it looks. Under the ply wood top is 2- 2X4 length wise stacked so basicaly 4X4's then 4- 2X4 stacked width wise. I lift the underneth shelf short so I could put my tumbler and seperater under the bench (as you can see that didn't happen. But I set the shelf low enough and back just far enough that I could use it as a foot rest and also be able to set my bullets and manual on for quick and ease of use. Am going to put a couple of u-bolts through the bottom shelf face with a 20 oz pop (coke) bottle lid. Drill a hole in the lid and run my deprimer tubs down into it.
Also plan on a couple more of the architect lights (which I have put halogen lights in) on the cabinet and shelves on the end of the bench (never to much light).

Can someone help me? I would like to post pictures of my handloading settup. I've never done it before.

A true pair of prescrip. safety glasses will be marked with Z87 (take a look at your saftey glasses they should have this same mark) on the frames and the lens will be marked also. Mine have side shields that you have to put on near the ear piece and turn them then slide them up to the lens with the arms slightly folded in. Once they are far enough forward you open the arms the rest of the way and the side shields don't move.

I have been reloading for over 30 years. Hopefully, I can sure my reloading pictures with you. I've never done this before.
