Show us a picture of your reloading bench

Built this about a week ago. I plan to mount the single stage to a board the same way as the turret and swap out presses depending on what I'll be using on any particular day. Right now it's mounted to a piece of scrap wood that I've been using on a portable bench and it's just clamped there. I plan to add some shelves and maybe knobs so I can swap presses out easier.

We are in the process of offering our home for sale so I took my loading room apart & mounted a couple presses on an old desk my former employer gave me. It will work for now.

American Bench

They ain't cheap but they're built like a nuclear missile silo !

I've had one for 2 years now, just outstanding quality.

My wife makes jewelry so we cleared out the living room for her and I was allowed to put the bench in the living room, that's how nice the bench looks.

Here in Arizona, valley of the sun, reloading in the garage in August is no fun, no fun at all. Now, I can enjoy the A/C and reload all year long. Don't think she would have gone along had I made my own.
 
I have to reload in a confined space so came up with a solution of having two smaller benches...one for shotshell and one for handgun. I think the photo shows that pretty well. Thanks.

I got started in reloading in Nov. 2014 at that time I was shooting 3 to 4 times a week between 200 to 500 rounds each time. I did a lot of research be for I bought my first piece of equipment. I narrowed it down between Dillon and Hornady. I didn't go with the blue or red cool-aid I went with the tax dollar cool-aid. I drive on Nebraska roads, so I went with Hornady.
Everyone said start of with a single stage press, but when I jump I jump. I ordered a single stage press and a ammo plant. And I haven't stopped there. I am hooked. I shoot once a week now and reload 4 to 5 times a week.

My own humble bench, built after about a year of reloading.

Powder, bullets, and brass are stored on the lower shelves.

Please excuse the fact that it appears to have been taken by a potato, the light down in the basement is not especially good (which is why I added the flourescent fixture).
 
my reloading station

Not exactly a conventional reloading bench but more of a self contained station.
I have just started reloading and only reload 1 caliber (32-40) out of necessity. I built this box to hold all my stuff in one place. When Im done I close it up and store it.
I already have a hobby that takes up lots of room and has lots of equipment Homebrewing and winemaking, lots of buckets and big boil pots.
I need for reasons best not mentioned to keep my reloading stuff in one place and highly mobile. Anyway here it is.
The press stores under the riser it is mounted on to close the box.
Sorry the pic is so big not sure how to resize it
