My first house had a horrible super deep pantry so I removed it all and put in the white wire stuff. I kept all the original shelves and have been using them for various projects over the years. They are nice and strong and a good depth for most shelves. |

Here is my little special place. I built a big bench for expansion, but as you can see,
it's gotten used already! I just use it now for brass cutting and universal de priming.

Here is a picture of my work in progress. I'm hoping in the near future to totally enclose it in and turn it into a true man cave.

Excellent thread! I have been kicked out to the garage and am about to setup my cave again. I haven't kept my reloading equipment in the garage before and wanted to know if the winter months would be hard on this stuff. Is it ok to keep the supplies in the garage? Winter can get below zero here and stay in the low teens during the day.
Thanks |

My "Apartment Special"
Press and trimmer are attached with wing nuts, so they go in the cabinet above the stove and the bench folds up stores in the back of the closet. Works great for .40 & .223, but the heavier force required for 30-06 makes it a little unstable on carpet...have to take it out on the balcony for that :). |

Winter can get below zero here and stay in the low teens during the day. Thanks I've taken one quarter(corner) of my garage and built a man cave(office). I reload in the main area of the garage and frequently heat it from single digits to 72 or so degrees. I've experienced no problems with my reloading equipment. Just keep an light cote of oil on things and all is well. Good luck with your set up! |

Since my SO and her son moved in to my place in January this what I have been dealing with (had to give up my "handloading room" to the kid so he could have somewhere to sleep):
However, I started working on turning about a third of my garage into a "Man Cave". My "crew" will be back this weekend, and hopefully we will be able to finish (including building a bench) on Saturday and be able to shoot a match on Sunday. Here is the progress so far: Before:

 Top is 2 layers of 3/4 melamine glued and screwed together. Everything put away, I sit to reload. 550 and SDB is stowed position.  Loading single stage 357 action shot. Cover off of scale and powder trickler, mounted at eye level. Drawer pulled out, and provides a spot to place processed cases.  Loading 7.62 x 39 on 550. 1k batch in progress. Yellow bin, brass to be loaded, cardboard box loaded rounds. Larger blue bin is ejected loaded rounds, small blue bin empty cases to be loaded, refilled from yellow bin.  Also mount SDB same place, loading 9mm here.
Edit to fix spelling. Edit to add pics. |

The only thing that has changed is that the Lee "C" press has been broken, and replaced with a Classic Cast.
