Show your reloading benches

Well actually the clobber in front of the bench (including the coffee machine) is for the garage sale coming soon. However, I have a small Makita 18V LXT coffee maker under the other workbench (the one I use a my desktop) beside the reloading bench.
That clobber is also one of the reason for the angle the photo is taken... :/
they really are! found these for a great price at the gun show when it was here. Could not resist!

Nice setup!
I noticed the high stool in the last pic and was looking at the same one yesterday - do you sit on that while using the press or do you stand? Just curious as I`m getting setup right now and am trying to figure out what I need as I have a 650 on a stand so the heights would be similar to yours
If you sit can you generate enough force to easily manipulate the lever or is it better to stand for this reason?

I usually stand while reloading. The stool is nice for when I am working on other things.
I didn't have the ceiling height in my basement to use a strongmount, so for my bench-mounted 650 I use a tall stool and find it quite comfortable. For 550 without a case feeder, I had room to use a strongmount. I stand when I reload on that.
One thing to keep in mind if you will use a stool, make sure the seat does not rotate or you will be just spinning yourself back and forth when you pull & pusj on that press handle. lol

My humble but efficient setup.
In a small 10x8 room, which i try to set up at 20 celcius 45% humidity
Work bench
Dillon 650 set up for 9mm, dillon auto primmer filler station, lee single stage press with breachlock quick change.
Drawers are filled with only reloading related tools and dies, took the gunsmith bench out of that room.
Drill is to power two forster trimming stations, one that trims and the other that neck turns 308
Second station is my powdering station.
A very ridgid table. Two work lights since i close all neon lighting before running scale.
FX120 scale with auto trickler, annealeez machine to the other end since it doesn't cause any vibrations to the table.
I don't powder and anneal at the same time, but i try to keep this table to minimal disturbance
