I added some shelves to my reloading room, working on unpacking boxes and organizing them.
I also built the track and trolley system for the lights and camera. Here are a few shots of it:

Not mine but a cool idea.

Wow! Some of you guys have posted up some amazing setups! I am in awe...
My smallest, most portable is this little RW Hart arbor press which I use with Wilson dies. Very compact, and produces excellent neck-sized ammo. If you haven't used a setup like this before, it's very interesting. Was developed decades ago to produce precision ammo for benchrest competition & varmint shooting. I can put the whole thing in basically a big shoebox, and take it to the range with me if desired. I only load three different cartridges with this little press: 204 Ruger, 25-06, and 308 Win:
The Lyman turret press gets used most of all. I bought it with the idea of just loading handgun ammo on it, and quickly discovered that I really enjoy loading most of my rifle ammo on it as well. Here I'm building my favorite all-around big game load: 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip in a 30-06 case. I've used that ammo for elk, black bear, mule deer & antelope. Works GREAT:
Not a very good photo of the room - but I'm fortunate enough to have a "spare bedroom" in the house which is now my fly-tying, gun-tinkering, and handloading room. Very nice place to just hang out too.

My dinky little reloading cart finally broke. I got the cart when I was 12 to hold a fish tank, and since I got rid of the tank, it's put up with about 2.5 years of reloading.
Now I have to figure out how to build something new with only a hand drill... Apartment life sucks, this place won't even let me use tools outside.
Gonna have to go with something small again since I'm stuck in a closet. 26" wide and 18-19" deep is about as good as I'm gonna get I think.

That’s not impossible, but a challenge for sure. Most lumber yards will cut boards for you, but for a fee. If you can draw up your plans and have all your measurements already when you buy supplies, it’s just a manner of screwing it all together when you get home with your drill. If that’s a problem, maybe try to find someone at the local gunshop who’d let you use a little garage space for an afternoon.
