While wringing his arthritic hands and saying "Why Yesssss, this room can be used for double duty."

Cabinets in my opinion brother. I don't like to see all the sh!t I have stored. I like my reloading bench clear unless I am using it at that moment.

I guess I'll need to Cruze the internet to get some ideas.... Can't believe I didn't have this planned out a head of time.

These are the metal cabinets that I've had for awhile. They will need cleaned and painted though.... They are 36"W x 30"T x 13"D.
They might be to large for the room as I don't want to feel boxed in.

I built the above shelving units out of 3/4" plywood. They're pretty solid.

Very nice setup there DJ!!! Clean and lots of natural light during the day, I like that a lot.

If I didn't already have the metal cabinets, I'd be building my own but you never know how many times I changed direction on this project...

Depending on the phase of development you are in. I would measure a 8 pound keg of various powder and set the height of shelves relevant to that. A reloader's needs are rather simple, volume is your friend when you are trying to save money reloading, so having somewhere to store all the things you procure but haven't used yet is the way to go.

I'd also recommend buying 'royal case and die lube.' It's the best, but don't just take my word for it.

Personally I don't need a lot of bench space, my 550 set up in on top of a 'cam3ron' contraption, it allows me to move it around and works great for having two different 550's running across from each other. It's about two square feet or so.

Thanks, I was able to get the backsplash in, painted & the trim cut and installed. Need to get the door trim in & paint the door.....
By Golly I'm damn near done with this puppy!!!

It looks outstanding Jim! Miss you guys. This is my portable digs in the travel trailer. Any port in a storm right?

I have decided to build my upper cabinets just for that reason. They metal cabinets I have the shelves are only 8 1/8 inch between And have no idea what the size of an 8 pound keg is but not knowing and installing these cabinets would surely bite me in the Azz...
