Let me preface by saying that I signed up here years ago and managed to immediately lose the site. Old age, I guess. I'll try to be a contributing member from here on.

I recently relocated, so my room isn't fully operational yet. But here's one wall.

The bench photo is from my old house, but will look about the same when I get it cleaned up.

Glad you "found" us again. :D Nice reloading setup. I think I spot an old triple beam scale over there. I had one years ago, lovely piece of equipment. I guess the obligatory question now would be, is that a popcorn machine sitting there +corn :lol: .....I enjoy looking at others setup's as I can garner ideas to incorporate into mine. Like the sliding "baskets" under the shelves. I like that, very handy. :ugeek:

Yes, it is a popcorn popper. In the new house, it's in the corner of the family room and getting a lot of use. It's going to be a bit of a challenge. The new house is smaller than our old one, (but the garage is twice the size!)
My reloading room has been cut in half, but it's still bigger than most folks are working with. And it's next to the adult beverage and pool table room for relaxing after a taxing session at the bench. ;)

Yes, that is an old Ohaus triple beam. I had one years ago, but sold all my reloading stuff when work took up all my time and my income was such that I could buy my shells.
Then I retired early with bad knees and less than stellar investments. Back to reloading. My first purchase was another Ohaus. I load for a half dozen handgun calibers and 300WSM for my Striker. I cast for everything except the Striker. I haven't been able to come up with a good load with a cast bullet.

Ohaus used to make fine scales. I have an Ohaus 1010 grey color most know it as the RCBS 1010 green now they bought the patent to it. I needed a calibration kit for it rcbs sent one to me for free with new powder pan and ballast to.

I too have an Ohaus 10-10 grey. I have a green something similar too.
