Hey Canucklehead,
Look at the pics more closely.
Under the bench you can see a padded adjustable stool on casters.
At the other end of the room there is another stool.
That one you can,t see in the picture.
I do all my actual reloading,standing up.
My buddy Anzacman,who shares the reloading room with me,always loads sitting down.

Hey Fellow Gunnutz,
I want to thank everyone for sharing in this post.
I am having a hoot reading the replies.
It's nice to hear that you think the setup is nice
When I bought this house,I made sure it had a high dry basement.
As for a lot of bucks being spent on the reloading room,it's not true.
The four SDB's were bought used.
Three Rockchuckers used.
Mec Reloader used.
Beam scale for rifle and shotgun..used.
Case trimmers...used.
Etc....etc...
There are some real good deals to be found on excellent condition,used gear.
Yes some of the stuff is new,but remember I am sharing this room with Anzacman,a good friend and a fellow CanadianGunut.
That means we both split the costs.
We did all the labor.
Anzacman is married,so no way he could have had this setup at home....lol
Also remember,that I may be old enough to be your grandfather.
Your time will come too.
Don,t be jealous.Where there's a will there's a way.
Anzacman and I work for a design firm.Advertising for fancy homes and condos.
It's kind of like a running joke with us.
Design a reload room that could be on the glossy front page of Reloaders Architectual Digest.
Sometimes we laugh hilariously when I ask him if we have the correct
Feng Shui for the room.
We are having a ball using and building this room.
There's still more to be done.
Some more benchwork on a wall not seen in the pic.
More drywall around the powder storage area
More shelving,another Rockchucker to mount.
There is a stereo set up to blast tunes while loading.
The room is clean and organized because two guys use it.
To me,clean and organized means safe reloading..definitely no mixups.
It's like the Odd Couple goes reloading.
I'm like Felix and Anzacman is like Oscar.
Sometimes Anzacman will look around and say"Man,this place is too neat."
Anyways,you can do it,and there's good deals on used gear out there.
The whole point is to start the reloading journey.
Start by building one good solid little bench,that you can be proud of.
As money permits,start building your setup.
The main point is that you're loading ammo that is totally custom tailored to your needs and wants.
It's a beautiful thing.

Awesome
Maybe one day , you could redo the whole basement into three sections and show us how to utilize a small 10 x 10 space for pistol & rifle and shotgun...
Great looking room... and I am almost a grandfather

WOW...just....WOW... Nice setup...

I know if I had access to a reloading room like that I'd probably spend more time there than at home. Anzacman...be very careful.
I told Anzacman if he's ever in the doghouse,he's welcome to
set up a cot in the reload room.
He's already figured he could fit one under the 8ft. bench.
Seeing that he's on a diet right now,I told him he'd be cheap to feed.
Some lettuce leaves and coffee.

You must be single.....
very nice setup guys. I think I can see a future contest happening. Kind of like Design Guys but using you two to design and build (or arrange to have built) the winners gunroom. Gonna talk this over with GT. Get everyone interested to buy in. Then when the winner is announced we fly (if need be) you guys in and you design the room and perhaps contact a local tradesman to build it?
